OK, up for sale is my ’99 SR5.I am the original owner. I love this bass and the only reason I selling is I’m raising funds to buy the 20th anniversary SR5.
Anyway, it’s in great almost new condition. There is one tiny ding on the front above the pickguard. I'll take a detailed pic of it and post it soon.
Honeyburst, ash body, maple board, white pearloid pick guard. It’ll come with an SKB hard case and the plain white pick guard that was original to the bass.
This bass plays and sounds great. But you knew that already, I mean, it’s a Stingray 5 right?
Paypal (buyer pays fees) or postal money order only. $1000 shipped. Will ship insured.

what is the weight of this bass?

I've never weighed it but I'll check it on the bathroom scale tonight and post the weight.
Personally I don't think it's heavy. I've done long gigs with it and the weight has never been an issue

BTW the serial number is E02438 and according to Ernie Ball customer service its' D.O.B. is 6/05/98

Oops, forgot to weigh it but my guess is it's in the 9 to 10 pound range. I'll weigh it this afternoon when I get home and post results.

what is the weight of this bass?

10 pounds by the highly scientific bathroom scale method.

Your Groucho quote - let me guess, you saw Patitucci wearing a shirt that said that in the liner notes for "Beneath the Mask".

I actually went out and found a shirt like that myself. Come to think of it, I haven't seen it in a while. Maybe my wife threw it out...

Beautiful bass, by the way.

That is one of the best SR5's I have ever seen. Killer bass.

I can't remember where I heard the Groucho qoute. Maybe like 20 years ago. But it just stuck. It'd be cool to have that as a T-shirt.

Thanks, I think so too. It's really hard to sell her.

I don't see why not. But if it costs a lot more are you willing to pay the difference?

Thanks Fig

Ding Pic. Now keep in mind I shot this to emphasize the ding. It's not nearly this ugly. It's roughly half a centimeter long.

Soooooo. Is my asking price too high?

What kind of tones can you get out of it? I'm guessing this is a 2 band eq?

Lots of tones IMO. 3 bang EQ

man.. looks soo beautiful

Lots of tones IMO. 3 bang EQ


Can a warm and punchy tone be dialed in?

To my ears yes. Some prople accuse the Stingrays of being a one trick pony but I don't believe that. With the three band EQ and moving you right hand position I can get everything from the classic Stingray monster slap tone to warm and deep fingerstyle blues tone. Not to mention the killer pick tone.

If you want more opinions on the SR5 go here and ask.

Thanks. It's actually just a Canon G5 point and shoot that's no longer in production.
A lot of the sharpness comes from the sharpening tools I got from these guys

Bye Bye Baby Bye Bye
She's on her way

That pic almost did it for me too, man. If someone would have bought my JO5 while this was going it was my "plan B.. and maybe plan A". :)

Came today. Just what I needed. Makes the sounds I was hoping it would.

This bass is going to make me a better player. :hyper:

Glad you like it. BTW the slinkies on there are about 2 months old.
