Very well said, you hit the nail on the head
And they’re so fun to unbox, maybe we should all buy another one for fun!
It’s weird because I’ve always preferred jazz width necks but the neck on these SRS basses just feels right.
I’ll let you talk to my wife about that.And they’re so fun to unbox, maybe we should all buy another one for fun!
I think I said before, but it’s just like in shape though slightly larger than my favourite Jazz bass neck. I have an Aerodyne, which is definitely both wider and fuller than many other J’s I’ve had, the SS is like a very very slightly oversized version of that. Excellent in hand.
I prefer P’s, and it also feels just right!
I don’t know that I’ve had a maple fretboard I ever bonded with before, but this one has done the trick.
There is only one way for that to happen. ;-)
I feel your pain, I remember being 17 and seeing a local band, the bassist had 2 Rays on stage and I thought “how the @&#% has he got TWO of those, I’d love just one!”.
But I got lucky, a year later the music shop I worked in got in a used but new 94 Ray and the boss gave me a great deal and payment plan.
Good luck getting one, shame they are so expensive these days, but at least very much worth it in the end.
Normally I could afford one but I've got alot of personal business expenses coming up in the next few months so big boy toys are just not in the cards. Plus... after years of buying and trading I'm finally at the point where almost all of my gear are "keepers" so there's not anything I'd be willing to sell to fund it.
Finally some sun for me to get a pic of my new pickguard and straps.
Yep!! Mike does great work. Here is my Caprice fitted with a Quickguard. Yes I like things that sparkle. Most of us ladies do!!
@lowdownthump those both look great but the black on the Aqua is KILLER!!
I've have been ridiculously busy these last few days, but I've got some free moments tonight. I haven't really been on TB too much the last few days, so I'm getting back into my routine. I really want to say thank you to all of you awesome peeps for the kind words. I'm always surprised whenever anyone wants to take my picture. I always figure any pics of me will end up on "uglypeoplewhoplaybass.com", lol! So, thanks, I appreciate the kindness.
I'm changing strings before this weekend's festivities. I got some regular Slinkys, since I couldn't find a matching set of Super Slinkys(thanks, GC). I usually buy my strings from BSO, but I got a gift card for GC for my last bday, so... Looks like I start my string quest again. I've been using Dunlop Super Brights on my F Basses, and I'll be going back to Paysons when my Dingwalls show up, but I wanted to try a few different brands on my SRS's. I like the Slinkys that came on them, so I'm gonna start there, but they did die pretty quickly. I dunno how long they were on the basses before I got them, but they're pretty dead after a couple of weeks(I have been playing a bunch though...).
I may have settled on a setting-Bridge pickup only, slight bass & treble boost, significant mid cut. I'll know more this weekend.
Oh my. That is pretty SWEEEET!
You gonna be mad if I keep copying you??
Yes!! Lol!Oh my. That is pretty SWEEEET!

You know how ladies are. It’s like walking into a social gathering and someone else is wearing the same dress as you are.
