My 4HH is in dropped copper as well. I should receive a new pick guard I ordered this next week. It is in a black sparkle, I think it will complement nicely

For sure!!
My now trio of SR Specials:
Just have to decide which of the 2 on the right is going to be wearing tapewounds when I get them in.

Quite a nice looking bunch you got there. I love the look of the fretless... that flame

Yeah, that fretless was what got me started with the SR Specials. It's a joy to play, even though I'm new to fretless so I won't be gigging with that for a long time until I develop a better ear and feel for an unlined fretless.
That should look nice!
It's kindof hard to capture the sparkle in normal light. I might do a photo shoot on a sunny day...
Any Stingray 5 Special owner here that also owns a Bongo 5 can tell me how the neck profile on both compare?
Hello fellow specialists. I've never even played a Music man bass before in my life but after reading through this entire thread I decided to order one and see what happens. Where I live there's just no option to try one in a store right now. Out of the box experience was great because after measuring everything it basically came delivered set up the way I always start out with any bass. Sounds really great, plays really well. I really like the neck, it was super comfortable for the 5 hours I tested it out. I definitely gravitate towards position 2 and 4 on the gear-shifter, kept the pre-amp flat so far. This is the first bass I've ever owned that isn't either black or white, I really like how the sparkle color changes depending on the lighting. I guess sometimes it's good to try something new and I want to thank all the people who contributed to this thread with lots of useful information. Without all of that it would've been a lot harder to make up my mind. Here's a picture of my new favorite bass.
I have both. I prefer the special because the neck isn't painted. While the painted neck looks great it feels a little sticky to me.
Anyone seen any of the new Vault basses? This "plumpkin" colour shift finish is very cool. Stingray 4 - Plumpkin - Rosewood Fretboard
Sure seems to be a premium on the Hot pink Stingray specials. I would think that the guys in the shop don't want those to sell so they can buy them.
I will be an EBMM player again when they make available Aqua Sparkle Special with roasted maple neck.
Also will be the first in the store if such a bass is available with Slo Special nut width!
