So the string spacing is nice and wide? I personally like that. My LB76 is very narrow....hard to get inside those strings!

Yeah it is 19mm at the bridge... It feels like a four string right at the neck joint as well which is great for all the slap stuff. Gets narrow quickly as you approach the nut. I dig it, especially for someone who has been a faithful four banger their whole career.

icon headstock? nice touch, she's a keeper. It's cheaper to keep her.

Agreed

Thanks guys...super impressed with this bass, it is what I have been looking for a long time. SB did a great job designing these electronics

Beautiful bass! I love that color.

Finally was able to get some sunshine, this color is great. It ranges from a deep teal to a dark blue depending on how the light hits it. (with all the pics can you tell I am very happy and proud of this bass?)

So sweet krovx!

I am looking forward to the B50 with active electronics, I have on order.

It is a great bass. This as my five string J, and my Warwick $$, I think I am all set

Thanks for the GAS....

I always wondered what one of those would look like as a 5 with that headstock...

Dang, I wish I'd hit the lottery....

Wow! I love the headstock.

FYI - Considering trades for a four string. Should have returned it and ordered an active SB4k, but it was too amazing

I know this thread is long dead, but here's a cool story. I saw this bass a few years back during a Google search when I was trying to get trans color ideas for a B50 build. I would up buying a trans green one, but this exact bass was always in the back of my mind. Guess what, I just bought it. It was delivered yesterday from the a seller in California. This bass sure has made the rounds.
