Well, I got my Sterling HS in on Thursday, and all I can say is WOW! What a fantastic bass. The S pickup really adds a ton of available tones. I tried the H, HH, and HS configs, and this was my favorite. I also like the small Sterling body and neck. I owned a SR4 about 3 years ago, but sold it for the "greener pastures" of boutique basses. I bought a few 2 and 3 thousand dollar basses over the last 3 years, and man what a waste of time and money. This is where it's at. I'm not virtuoso, just a meat and potatoes kinda guy, and this bass delivers.
I'm really diggin position 3. 1-4 are all very good, but 3 is where I'm leaving it the most. Nothing wrong with 5, as I'm sure I'll use that for the 12 bar blues type stuff, but that's a little part of what I do. I used it in church this morning, and it was spanking. This little guy is HOT. I clipped my amp a few times.
This is also the first 4 I've owned since I sold the SR4, and I forgot how much fun it can be to play a 4. The setup on this thing is amazing too. and these EB nickel strings ain't half bad either!
Here is a photo from TPB, where it came from new.. I'll try to add some better pics later.
