Stingray 5 Club!

[Element Zero]

This thread is pure sex.

 

[Chirro]

This is my actual one. Owned several during the last 15 years. Is the only bass that I use live.

Ok, here are “some” of the SR5’s that have regrettably slipped through my fingers

Yes!!

Here's my current fever of Stingrays. I have a real fondness for the classics but the 2018 Special is a phenomenal instrument too.

L-R: 2011 Classic, 2012 Classic, 2003 SUB5, 2018 Special.

Ok, I'll play! Here is my 2000 discontinued color "Medallion Gold" SR5 with some white DR's.

Very nice!

I’ve always wanted to get my hands on a USA SUB 5. I’d like the radius over that of the Classic 5, but I’d likely have to sand the painted finish off the neck (always wanted to sand the gloss off the Classic 5 I had).

I just Scotch-brite the necks of my classics and the SUB. Gives them a very nice satin feel. I do need to redo it every few months as they begin glossing up with use.

True and I’ve done that before, but really like a pretty bare feel. Guess that’s why I really like the typical feel of regular EBMM necks. I’ve sanded down several basses I’ve had from other brands and even done several for other bassists who played mine and loved the feel. I won’t sand the ‘88 SR5 as I’d like to keep it 100% original since it’s part of the first of an era. But it’s got plenty of player wear and a lot of the gloss on it has just come off from being played.

StingRay 5, I’m in.

 

[tkonbass]

This was my '05 and my main player for close to a decade. Traded it here on TB and regretted it almost as soon as it left my hands. The other party graciously offered to let me buy it back a while later but I opted to go with the Special instead.

Here are some more detailed pics of my current and former SR5s. I haven't had quite as an impressive collection as @armybass, but I've had a few (didn't include the Classic 5 that I sold):

'88 SR5- plenty of wear, but look at that figuring on the fretboard!


'16 SR5HH (sold)


'06 SR5HH Fretless (sold)


30th Anniversary SR5

 

[dab12ax7ef]

Here’s my No 1:
It’s a 2001 SR I got in 2009.

 

[blablas]

Replaced the huge ugly piece of plastic (aka pickguard) with something more pleasing to the eye that also hides less of the lovely woodgrain.

 

[Ric5]

The 5 string stingray basses always have a great low B string.

 

[Ric5]

I love my 5 string stingrays

 

[B-Lo]

I'm in...my 30th Anniversary SR5. This is the only pic I have available at the moment. Zoey likes to do quality control inspections of my basses when I unbox them.
