80s was an interesting time where the market wasn’t really looking for more same products from the 60s and 70s .   As CBS ear coming to its end, they released this the first Vintage reissue lines and also this Elite line as their “Deluxe” offering .    I’ve had a chance to play the Elite I Precision few yrs ago and this Elite II happened to pass by my bench for some TLC and of course some play around .

Coppolo basses are often known for instruments in vintage specs where would go with nitro finish when they possibly can.   I did have a few opportunities to try out a few LG5 Standards and this happened to be a pretty impressive one.

Sterling bass was introduced in 1993 after years of success of the Stingray.   It was like the refined version of their signature product, and since EBMM revamped the Stingray line, Sterling now became their heritage line and it’s a personal favourite of mine.

For most middle age music lovers, there should be at least one or 2 instrument that you happened to tried/played but did not ended up owning back in the day ..    Beside the 30th Anniversary Stingray 4H I acquired last year.   Here’s come another one of those special one.    It was at around 2011-2012 that they had these Japanese made Ibanez in the very odd shape hanging on the wall in my local store Cosmo Music …    Being a EBMM Bongo owner at that time , My tolerance for odd looking things are pretty high .     I picked it up and played one ..  oh man ..  it was ridiculously comfortable, the bass balances perfectly ..  the entire neck are easy to reach ..   I had fun for a good 45mins and couldn’t put it down ..  too bad that I wasn’t able to afford one at that time .. and it was gone after my next visit 2 weeks later ….
