Here are the new bass models:
If we have to rout diffferently I think that they are different models......



2 Humbucking Stingray...the neck pickup is going to be really cool.
1 Humbucking Stingray/1 Single coil Stingray

2 humbucking Stingray 5 ditto the neck pickup
1 Humbucking Stingray 5/ 1 single coil

2 Humbucking Sterling
1 Humbuckinga Stelring 1 single coil

These will be available both righty and lefty and fretted fretless

Lefty 2h , 1h1s, and single hum LEFTY Bongo.

These will be also be available fretless.

Let the games begin.

Posts not thinking that these are new models will be ignored.

There is a lot of engineering involved in these....we are not just slapping pickups off the shelf. They will be balanced tonally. The problem with just slapping a Stingray pick up in the neck position is that the magnets are so big andthe magnetic pull so string that they actually affect the strings vibration. That is one of the reasons that we discontinued the original Leo Sabre. You couldn't play it above the tenth fret on the low E
To not consider these new models are really not giving Dudley, myself and the rest of the R&D staf much credit.

Darg what did I leave out?

Chuck IS serious.

Fair question is when orders can be submitted - after Indy NAMM?

Don't attack your retailers just yet (unless they just deserve it).

The Photoshop Mockup of the 2PU SR5:

This is NOT a factory mockup, mind you. I just did it myself.

Because I had to look at it.

2H SR5? There goes my Bongo lust.
Funny - I was thinking the same thing... For those drawn to Bongo based on the double-humbuckers, this blows the field wide open.

Kudos to EBMM for providing an enormous "chinese menu" to choose from. :D

Question: Will a piezo bridge "option" be available in all of these configurations as well!?

well holy hot damn Big Poppa !!!!

Now riddle me this? how's a lad supposed to chose between an HS Ray and an HS Sterling?

I swear to God ... no BS. until this i thought i was DONE buying bass gear ... huge part due to the fact that my SR4 and Sterling are (were) all id ever want; but now you guys have upped the bar

awesome!!!

whoever was involved in the design of these ... when open house happens there's a round o drinks on me :) (... and of course i owe Jon free booze too)

honestly between the BP threads and the open house thing (dont mean to leave out Jon or Dargin and their help) im just super impressed with EB as a company. (not like i wasnt before) ... but honestly what kind of company does this kind of stuff for their "fans"?

just amazing!
