Ode to my 2017 Caprice…hello to 2002 Sterling!!!

As many of you may know, I have been struggling with the neck dive of my Caprice since its arrival. I’ve tried everything I could think off from wide straps to light weight tuners. The biggest improvement came from installing the Hipshot Ultralite tuners. And while it helped tremendously with neck dive, the bass’s overall balance never felt quite right. It never felt as perfectly balanced as a Sterling H does, for example.

This may not be a huge issue for most people but because my career requires a lot of typing…I couldn’t justify the additional strain on my wrists. All that being said…I absolutely loved my Caprice and don’t regret a thing 😉 It’s quick playing neck and versatile tones helped me to finally finish a loop I’ve had in my head for years. Soulful Stacatto(Loop) by Greg P | Free Listening on SoundCloud. The harmonics on the Caprice are simply incredible!

I’ve always wanted a Sterling H. Its slim neck and the 3 way switching allow me to get that tight focused jazz tone that I love. So when I found a flawless sunburst model on reverb…I couldn’t resist. Should be here in a few weeks(it’s being shipped from Tokyo!). In summary, thank you EBMM for creating instruments that inspire my creativity. 🙂
