String spacing appears wider on the SUB 5 than the StingRay 5 ... haven't confirmed this, but in photos it looks to be true.

Hmm - I'll have to look up what I originally posted in this thread. Meantime:

Hanewinckel 6-string fretless: neck-through, bubinga neck, ebony board, walnut body, full cocobolo top. With Wal pickups and electronics.

but I'll change my mind in 5 minutes. . .

A Gibson Les Paul bass from the early 70's
