FT : '98 StingRay5 in Honeyburst

[jfantuzzo]

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.

[Matt R.]

Very nice. Yes it has a fingerboard. Maple.

[Addison]

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.

This new Carvin Jazz Bazz is sweet!

[Jeroen]

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.
