FT : '98 StingRay5 in Honeyburst

StingRay5

'98 in honeyburst
Alnico pickup
Maple neck (I don't believe there is a fingerboard but some of you more familiar with this stuff could prove me incorrect)
Marvel strap locks
All original (except strap locks)

Looking for a 5 string jazz of similar value.

Would settle for a 5 string p or pj of similar value.

Very nice. Yes it has a fingerboard. Maple.

Sweet bass... unfortunately, it's going to be tough finding a 5-string P or PJ with similar used value as an SR5.

For some reason, the lefty market is almost completely devoid of 5-strings in that price range.

G&L and Carvin... maybe a MIJ Fender... I can't even think of anything else.

So is that awesome metallic green finish!
So this replaces the SB range now?

Yes Jeroen, it replaces the SB. I opened a thread about this topic in "Basses"

Why is it that 99% of bass reviews are slapping only? Play finger style or with a pick like 90% of all songs require so we can hear what the bass really sounds like.

I feel like it's the equivalent of guitar players metal shredding.

Note: 42.6% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

I couldn't agree more.

I agree, although I appreciate someone who can slap like this guy. Now, another scientifically proven stat: A bassist has 87.4% more chances to get fired from his band when he/she slaps his bass without being asked to do so..

To adopt an old golf adage...

You slap for show and pick for dough.

And then there is the new Vanquish series, which looks sweet also! And check out the killer Purple-fade bass at 7:38! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_StGDurqNM
