[JRA]

[walldaja]

Beautiful, enjoy.

Is it just me or are the B and G strings really close to the fretboard edges?. Probably not a problem with the B, but I'd be wary of pulling the G right off the board.

All Stingray 5's do that.

 

[Steadfast]

That is appealing to my prurient interests.

 

[Mastermold]

Congrats! This was my favorite new bass at NAMM this year. Beautiful instrument.

 

[armybass]

My hearts desire... the SR5 is my hands down favorite bass.

All Stingray 5's do that.

Yep. And the binding exaggerates the visual impact.

Handsome!

I am not a fan of the 1 piece pickguard/control plate. Especially when the 5 string stingray classic has a separate pickguard and control plate. The old stingrays 4H with piezo had 5 control knobs so its not a space issue, its a choice. But that is a matter of taste, that neck is beautiful though, i have a roasted maple quarter sawn all parts telecaster neck on the way for my next parts guitar project. Ended up only being $60 more than regular maple neck and i dont have to buy vintage tint lacquer to darken the neck.

What a beauty! I'm totally in love with Stingrays, and that neck, color and binding is just outstanding. Congratulations on that buy.

Oh, and thank you for the video comparison, it's really helpful!

That's got to be the most beautiful neck I've ever seen. What the hell.

Oh My Goodness!!!!!!!!!

Here is a link to my YouTube account that I uploaded the video to. Please pardon my sucky playing and bad audio quality. I'm in the middle of getting some more recording equipment for recording videos. I just started playing 5 string as well. For 30 plus years, I have played 4 string basses and most had thinner necks so there is a lot of adapting and I have had very little play time since November due to several hospitalizations and surgery. I normally don't sound as bad as I did in the video.

Great video thanks for taking the time to make it.

After I saw the promo pics of this bass I've been contemplating ordering the parts from Warmoth to do a J Bass in the same color combo. That roasted maple is gorgeous and that Birchwood Caseys Tru-oil finish (gunstock oil) just makes the grain pop....FWIW I don't know if EB is still using Birchwood Caseys but that what a rep told me in the late 90's. Even on regular maple it will really give the grain some dimension if you build up some coats.
