    Staggered tuners for EBMM Silhouette Bass?

    Just curious - does anyone know if the Schaller tuners on a Silhouette Bass are staggered height, and if so, what heights they are? I have a Sterling Silo 20 that The Captain over at Dood Craft Guitars modified into a Bass VI with a new neck and Babicz Solo Rails, but the tuners I got for it...

    NBD: Sterling Short Scale Sunburst

    Well, that Cort C4 Deluxe I got... It's a great bass, but after trying it out for a week or so, I realized I just can't handle long-scale instruments, so back it went. And then this one popped up on Reverb, one of the first-gen Sterling short scales with a vintage sunburst finish, brand new...

    Is there anything better at $400-500 than RAY5 HH?

    Looking for an entry to the 5-string world and I came across this - Sterling StingRay 5 HH With the 5 position pickup selector it looks like a very solid entry level 5-string under $500 that offers a lot of versatility. Even Lobster's review sounded pretty favorable to me. Is there anything...
