What to call the Sterling 5???

[RitchieDarling]

isn't the sterling just a 4 string version of the Sr5 though......

HUH?

 

[sloshep]

Well, since my last name isn't Ball and that name doesn't appear on my paycheck....

I think I will EBMM name it what ever they want. In the end we all know it will sound and play to perfection.

isn't the sterling just a 4 string version of the Sr5 though. wouldn't making it a 5 string be making another Sr5.

Is this statement based on anything other than the pickups?

 

[timmy5strings]

The pickups are both ceramic, but thats about where it ends I believe. Having just received my first Sterling and also having an SR5 I can tell you they not even close.

Ive been thinking alot about this and think that I am going to name it the Sterling 5.

 

[mrpackerguy]

Apologies if someone mentioned it, but just as we affectionately call the Stingray 5 the SR5, shouldn't the Sterling 5 be affectionately abbreviated or referred to as the S5?

 

[Psycho Ward]

Then its official, Sterling 5 it is.


BP, will this new signature 5 string interfere with the “real men play four strings” protocol?

 

[Jodizzle]

Everyone says that there's no such thing as a stupid question......they lie

Don't be stupid Bryan, sure there are

C'mon, play along

This is a wonderful plan!

Now, how about that club soda finish?

I think this is the 3rd time BP posted this quote.

I think calling some of us knuckleheads is being polite

Someone please please please close this thread so that it can sink to page 2 and I won't have to think about what a dumba$$ move it was to start it in the first place.

If you only wrote "what to nickname the Sterling 5", then we might not be in this situation!

The low B is just a 34" thumb rest.

 

[Kristopher]

Where are these people and how can I contact them in order to ridicule them?

I've never called it a B4, a B5 or a B6.

Here you go, from the John Petrucci/John Myung - full photos - EBMM factory tour! thread:

Great pics Supanamu and thanks to the DT guys for being such good sports.

Can't get enough of that B6 though, JM looks v. cool with it.

Flog away!

 

[Big Poppa]

YOu guys are officially clueless morons that are keeping this post alive...
1. mr packer guy the sr is the sr does anyone call the sterling the "S"? MOron#1

2. Kristopher because a newbie referred to the BOngo 6 as the B6 you hold that in jacks face when his thread says that HE has never referred to bongos in such a way


How about if we name it the Sterling 5. KEep it up and no protos will be shown here If I cant even name the thing why would I give you a chance to comment during the design phase?

 

[Kristopher]

Sorry BP, I didn't mean any harm. I thought Jack asked who refered to the Bongo 6 as a B6, I wasn't trying to say Jack did it. I apologize.

 

[bovinehost]

Sterling,

I've been thinking a lot about this and I think that you should name it the Sterling 5.

[jaylegroove]

That's probably the funniest, yet most useless, thread I've seen there. Good vibe

 

[bovinehost]

Okay, okay, we've annoyed the boss, shamed the original poster, had our fun and now let's agree to move on.

Although I think the Sterling 4plus1 might have been okay, too.......
