Not possible, because Sterling hisownself has 'em all. He's the original chick magnet.

This is the back of one of Dudley Gimpel's business cards. He wrote this and handed it to the guys on stage to read aloud during the bass forum at the 07 Knucklehead bash. I retrieved the card and kept it as a souvenir.

Kinda says it all....

I know you are proud of your instrument and that's cool.

What is it Sterling says about bass and guitar players who are anxious about moving past anything invented after 1953?

Weird...i thought what that GIGANTIC HUMBUCKING PICKUP did. im all for space age technology..just not looking like i came from space. with beveled body edges, a giant humbucker or 2 , 5 strings , and an active system, a raw wood neck and a NON nitro finish, id say if i took my ray back to 1953 i'd scare the hell out of all of em. and thats good enough for me
