The 2008 Question Thread

[Psycho Ward]

Looks like EBMM is going to have some HOT new instruments in the 2008 line up, the NAMM pictures are Exciting!

Being the King of Lefthanzia I of course must inquire about what will be available for us. So, will the Bongo 6 and the Sterling 5 be offered backwards?

BP also mentioned that the 2008 Limited Edition might be offered (without the gold hardware) for us lefty’s. I really hope so!


This is not a lefty only thread.

The Sterling 5 looks great, can't wait to find out how it sounds.
But I want one right now based on looks alone! But hey, it is a Musicman bass, so it has to sound every bit as good as it looks.

PS - Chuck, hopefully they'll make em' backwards so you can partake in Knucklehead Christmas.

Does the Sterling 5 have the same body size as the Sterling or is it slightly larger?

Slightly larger I believe.

Are the new HH/HS alnico SR5s going to be wired in series or parallel?

My question maybe posted in the guitar side, BUT here with our King we can have more chances
The Lefthanzia people want even a lefty Silhouette guitar!

And the Albert Lee! Sir Paul has yet to consider my offer...

I contacted Peter at Act 1 Music the other day, and he informed me that the Bongo 6 will not be available left handed at this time.

I forgot to inquire on the Sterling 5.

 

[BOOST]

i am curious as well...

 

[MacD]

I guess the '08s are pretty straight forward aside from the lefty inquiries.

I'm guessing the sterling 5 is in the same boat as the bongo 6, but a final word on that would be nice.

And I thought BP said that the LE would be available left handed, but with chrome hardware. I didnt think it was only a maybe.

 

[Oldtoe]

I can attest that the Sterling 5 is one of the best-playing, most comfortable and best-sounding basses I have ever played. And I generally do not get along very well with fivers these days.

 

[UKFIN]

inquiring minds want to know ?

 

[Dargin]

The LE will be offered left handed, but it will ship in a standard SKB case instead of the wooden G&G case. We are not currently offering the Sterling 5 or Bongo 6 in a left handed model.

 

[Psycho Ward]

Hey thanks Dargin!

Does the blank plank have the 12th fret inlay, or does it come without it?

 

[James Hill]

Have there been retail prices established for the BFR Redwood Stingrays yet? I know we can't discuss selling price but wasn't sure if retail was okay to post.

 

[bovinehost]

Retail can be posted without fear, but I haven't heard what it is.

Pete DuBaldo will know, I'm sure.

Root Beer

Sorry, been outta the loop.

Did the RootBeer sparkle with Gold hardware get canned?

No, but they gave it a more fancy name....Sequoia Gold.
