Stingray 5 Club!

Sure...
1988 - 1992: Alnico
1992 - 2008: Ceramic
2008 - 2018: Alnico (exception is the 30th anniversary bass, which is ceramic)
2018 (StingRay Special): Neodymium
Just closing the deal on this:
I sold my last stingray (4 banger, honeyburst) in 2008 and have regretted it ever since.
I’m looking forward to ‘righting that wrong’
From 2000, which prompted my ceramic/alnico question above.
It will serve as the perfect tonal counterpoint (active/aggressive/velociraptor) to this bass, my current main squeeze, a reverend mercalli
Which is basically a hot-rodded P bass (warm/smooth/herbivore)

Wow that is a pretty rare beast right there.
Always been perplexed as to why the HS never really taken up by the EBMM bass buyers out there.
Pretty compelling pickup option IMO
Amen brother. The HS is an incredibly versatile tone machine. Would love an SR5 HS to go with my Sterling HS.
my 2007 modded to HS
my 20th anniversary HS...well you can see
my 20th anniversary HS...well you can see
Hipshot lightweight tuners on both...shaves half a pound

What a stunning bass. I love HB on the SR5 better than any other and the whit pickup cover and pg look awesome against that lovely rw board.
Haven’t had a chance to get my son to take some good pictures of my SR5’s but I had to snap a few of my Neck Through HH. It’s such a killer bass. My crappy pictures don’t do it justice.

Great thread! I have no photos and sold the bass long ago but I had a 94/95 honeyburst 5 with the maple neck. It played awesome.....low action and tone for days! I took it all around the country for about 3 years and it never wavered. Would love to put one back in the stable someday!
