Sterling BCB with Piezo

Just received my Sterling Black Cherry Burst with piezo. This is one beautiful bass guitar. Oh, yeah, did I mention that it sounds as good as it looks? The piezo-equipped bridge is definitely the ticket. I'll post some pics in an hour or so as soon as my camera batteries recharge.

Congrats on the new bass. Although, your current 30th unlined fretless made me feel funny in a good way.

LOL. Makes me feel funny, too. Until that thing starts to miss the proper intonation.

VERY nice Trix.

I'm curious what you/others think of the piezo ... can you describe what it does to your tone?

Nice score man. With the rosewood board that black cherry begs for that matching headstock

I love the piezo on the MM. With the tone controls set in the flat positions, and panning between the piezo and pickup, (to me) the tone of the piezo has more body. I wouldn't describe the addition as "more of an upright sound," but it can certainly expand your tone.

Nice score, looks like a beaut. But I think you need some more amps.

Just an outcome from 30 years of commitment.

sooo....

Without the piezo is clear and sharp and can cut through really well?

and with piezo is... hazy and a little blurred?

I think Pzolover is taking a humorous jab at Toronto (no piezo) since he lives in Western Canada (with piezo) - Vancouver, British Columbia ... but isn't the mountain picture of Lake Louise ... Alberta ?!?!

I thought he was referring to the piezo in the front of the boat

Nashman,

Of course your new SR4 '06LE is a beauty, but it's only the start of your new beginning; you know you can't resist diversifying your MM portfolio, possibly with a Sterling / Piezo like the one above.

You know were here to support you through the agony of colour choices and special order waiting times

You are right Pzolover. I'm already thinking #2. My thoughts are a used Stingray 4 or 5, HS w/piezo, maple board, honeyburst ... would be quite different from my new one.

I like that...I need to further diversify my MM portfolio, too.
