Stingray 5 Club!

My phone camera sucks... but here's my new Tobacco Sunburst Stingray5 HH. Just got it in June.

I thought there was an SR5 club around here somewhere, but maybe not...

I’m on my 4th one in 5 years...had a 98, a 99, a 2004, and my current SR5, a 2011 with the Alnico pups that MM starting using around 2008. This bass doesn’t quite have the snarl and growl of the earlier ceramic-pup models, but I’ve figured out how to make it bark quickly enough. I loved all of the SR5s, but I’ve grown especially close to this latest bass.

Not long after I bought this bass, I got another pickguard for it from WDMUsic..
