Sterling Length

[Auctopus]

Hey,
Could some one tell me the body length of a Sterling (end of body to end of upper horn) and overall length (end of body to end of headstock). Thanks

However, the question was about length. Maybe Jack knows that one?

I just measured mine (my Sterling, that is), and it was roughly 18 1/2 inches from bottom to top horn, measured laterally. You would add about another 1/2 inch if you included the two strap buttons. Measured diagonally, its roughly 20 inches, or 20 1/2 button to button.

You gutter boys should be ashamed; now if the OP asked about girth....

I'm a bass player. I'm supposed to lower the tone

Holdsg, thanks a million, you saved me a trip to the local GC with a measuring tape. Reason why I asked is because I sold my Sterling Sub in order to put that money towards a regular US made Sterling but then another bass caught my eye but I wasn't sure which one had the shorter body. I don't like big-body & long-body basses. Well looks like the Sterling wins...don't know why I even thought for a second about another bass. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
