Here’s mine.... 2011 Honeyburst, alnicos. Some dude bought this as his first bass, never played it, half price eBay bargain! I think white, maple and honeyburst is the best looking combo EB ever used
That is a hell of a bargain and I agree about that color combo. Nobody dies it better than EBMM and the SR5 is the bomb in that finish.
I’ve bought and sold a few but this one stayed with me and for a time was my only bass. Love the tone and the feel.
Iconic basses and for good reason! My current 2:
2015 Firemist Purple(My #1)
20th Anniversary...my tuxedo bass.
And one that got away...

Man, those honey burst finishes are drop dead gorgeous.
As much as I love, love, love my 2011 Natural Maple fingerboard SR5, I’d love to find a deal on a honeyburst SR5.
Well, the 2 you kept are just freaking sweet! Love that anniversary bass and that carbon fiber on purple is killer!
That is gorgeous band is my personal favorite of finish/neck/FB combos. It’s classic Stingray and it’s gorgeous.
As far as string go.... I am a real string nerd and I have been a DR fan for a long time but I have gotten to the point where I like several brands of rounds for my SR5. First of all I like- 45-125 EB Slinkys. They just work well and seem to be made for the SR5. I also like Dunlop Super Brites and DR Black Beauties. I am a fan of DR Pure Blues but I don think I have tried them on my SR5 yet.
As far as flats go I am a TI Flts and LaBella Low Tension Flats fan. I love them both on my SR5's. I have not been very find of the EB Cobalt flats or even the Slinky flats. I find them grabby and too stiff respectively.

I used my SR5HH Special last night for a medium sized gig with FOH support and in ears. This gig was with my 7 pc country band and I have to say that this bass set totally centered and flat is my perfect bass. It plays and sounds amazing. I’ve had a lot of Basses.... I’m talking A LOT of Basses and this beauty might be the closest thing I’ve ever found to the to the absolute perfect bass for me.
Gorgeous my friend. I think we SR5 freaks love looking at SR5’s in all different color combos so we can drool. LOL.
Aw man. That’s my dream bass right there... much as I love my current 5, I NEED a Special

Do you though?
Gave two of my beloved SR5’s a good workout today on a great gig with my 7pc country band.
My Natural 2018 SR5 HH Special and my 2017 Neck through SR5HH.
