I have the same Classic 5! Love it!

I have one just like it, won't part with it

Nice bass; I own one just like it and would buy one of the blue/green ones if I saw one

I use a tablet onstage so I have the setlist handy and I can refer to it if needed for chord changes, etc. I don't worry about it because I see bands televised on Palladia and VH1 using them all the time. If they can get away with it, why does it matter to anyone else? I DO try to be discreet...

My main bass is pictured on my avatar, a 20th Anniversary Music Man 5HH. Second call bass is a Yamaha BBEast 5-string. Priors are a Stingray 5H, ESP Jazz Bass w/EMG's installed by me

My band does covers of the "tired old" variety but we also throw in things that are outside the top 500 you hear on classic rock radio. We just throw stuff out there that we like and see what the people throw back. If they like an out-of-the-box song or arrangement, it stays.

Where in Virginia?

I have one just like it and will never part with it!! What are you looking for in the way of a trade?
