Noisy Humbucker
Only obsesses over guitars when not playing them.
So I’m totally sold on the Stingray 5 and being that I’m a guitar player I’m not about to drop >1k on a bass, so Sterling it is.
That aside, none of the current finishes are blowing my skirt up (aside from the quilted amber that they’ve of course discontinued).
I’m 100% new to Sterling (Music Man in general for that matter) and at first glance their release cycle and info seems a bit wonky.
All of that to ask: anyone know of the likelihood of them rolling out new finishes at NAMM this year? I’m quite familiar with the other big names in modern import (Ibanez, ESP, Schecter, Jackson/Fender/Charvel) but I’m at a loss with EB.
I’ve actually already had a few of them pass through my hands at this point (a Ray34 which was sweet but convinced me I definitely want a fiver, then the ash Ray35 which had a twisted neck and finally it’s replacement which also had a twisted neck and razor sharp frets).
I know I’ll be sticking with my local GC from now on (no more mail order stuff that I can’t just return at the store). Just wondering if it’s worth waiting until January to see if they have anything a bit more aesthetically pleasing (to me).
