It is!
It's kind of a shame to put that pickguard on it. It almost looks like the bass is wearing a lobster bib.

Too late for this occasion, crustacean. He already liked your post!Don't tell @LowEndLobster!
Did they change that somewhere along the line? I was curious so I looked around and I only see an HH diagram for parallel wiring. This one is dated 2016 though.
Earlier than that from what I remember but I couldn’t say when exactly. I felt like mine from ‘07 was series but it is completely possible I’m mistaken. I did a quick search and couldn’t find anything so… :/
Luckily the SR specials balance superbly. In the lap you get a little dive without a strap, but perfect balance with a strap sitting or standing.
I've found that to be true. My 8.3 pound Special 5HH balances pretty nicely.

Not all of them in my experience. Living in DFW with as many guitar shops as Starbucks, I have had the opportunity to play a lot of them. YMMV
Interesting. My first thought was "What color hardware do those basses have?". But, if I'm not mistaken, all three of your Stingrays have gold hardware, don't they?
Maybe it's just a BFR thing? Will be curious to see what the answer turns out to be.

I deleted the post probably just as you were responding. As soon as I hit post , the answer to my question came to my remembrance. It due t the fact that the BFR's in question dont have pick guards.
Love your channel.
Imo, balance superbly means zero dive without a strap. I don’t settle from my most expensive bass to my cheapest parts bass.
I just love these Special5’s. To me they are a perfect blend soundwise of the pre Ernie Ball 2bands, the Ernie Ball 3bands, with a touch of Fender warmth added in.
Da Maestros playing is straight fire!! He makes it look so easy.

I love that green color.
He has done some nice cosmetic changes, like adding the white pickup cover, the green abalone knobs, and the pearled pick guard. Looks sharp!! But oh that sound!!
Ahhhh. Well, that answers that question.I deleted the post probably just as you were responding. As soon as I hit post , the answer to my question came to my remembrance. It due t the fact that the BFR's in question dont have pick guards.
I had one of those green basses in 4HH. I kept the black pickup & added a tortoise shell pickguard. Was so sweet looking.
