  22. Colin Greenwood from Radiohead was an early adopter of the Sterling and used them a bit around the time of the first album - the Sterling was launched in 93 and came with the mutes on the bridge My wife thinks there are so few to be found because i have too many! 2005 blue pearl 4H weighs about 4.5 kilo/ 9.9lb 2012 Classic with mutes, slab body, string through body, 2 eq, no switching, 4.6 kg/ 10.1lb 2019 post box red (recent bday pressie to myself to celebrate LFC triumphs!), roasted maple neck and headstock, 4.0 kg/ 8.81lb I've been playing these since 2008 - I intended to buy a stingray but tried the Sterling next to it and was instantly converted. The selling points for me are: the neck profile is the most comfortable of any bass for me - if you prefer jazz to a P bass neck then you will undoubtedly prefer the Sterling to a Stingray I like the smaller body shape, much more elegant and comfortable smaller headstock than stingray - I like to smash drummer's cymbals with it! The three way switching and eq options are extremely versatile can be a very aggressive sound - I usually prefer to tame it with flatwounds The Classic is extremely rare and they were only made for about 6 years - I love the mutes, the neck is high gloss and amazing figured maple. The neck feels different and nicer somehow to the standard 4H to me but I can’t work out why, it seems to be the same profile. I've heard people say that gloss makes the neck sticky but I’ve never had a problem under stage lights. Not as versatile without the switching and only 2 band eq but it does what it does very well. I’ve never encountered a lightweight one. My new one is the lightest I’ve ever heard of at 8.81lb - can anyone beat that?
  23. Bit pricey but they last a long time if you don’t mind the mellower tone
  24. Is OCD infectious? It had never occurred to me before but now you mention it I’m wondering if I should try tuning it to DADF? Did slightly better lining the new ones up but still not perfect and Im also concerned that the blue may not look quite right against my new post box red bass
