I've got a 1996 Stingray5, which I love but rarely use any more (I prefer the versatility of basses with two pickups rather than the Stingray's one pickup). I've been reluctant to sell it...bought it new over a decade ago. It's in excellent condition with the exception of two chips in the paint (visible up close, but not visible from a distance) and a just a little buckle rash on the back...everything else is pretty much perfect.

I recently played a Musicman Bongo5 and really liked it (moreso than a Stringry5 HH...love the voicing of the onboard preamp/EQ on the Bongo). If you've got a Bongo 5-string, preferably red, with the dual humbuckers and would like to trade, I'm game, so hit me up. Pic below, and a couple songs with the SR5 on it.

Bumpity bump!

I'd also love to give a 5-string Modulus Genesis (or something similar) an extended audition. If you got any reasonable trades post 'em up!

Thanks,
Dave
