The 5-String club Part 2

[bassmike2010]

It’s a player. It’s beautiful. And it sounds great. I love the 2-band EQ. Mine arrived set up poorly — not what one would expect from SBMMs claims and Sweetwater’s normal inspection. It took a while to get the bow out of the neck. But once set up, it plays wonderfully. Nice quality at that price point — not EBMM quality, but not EBMM price.

I actually got mine off Ebay seller NOS. Was VERY leary, and expected the worst
'till I received it. Packaging was top notch. It actually WAS brand new with quality
gig bag and cellophane on the guard. Untouched. Quality build and set up like I've
never seen and certainly not "from Indonesia". All the points you'd judge- frets,
bridge, board, electronics, finish, neck gap etc. Can find nothing but highest quality.
Plugged it into both the Trace and GK rigs and the tone is amazing with a growl
unlike anything I've ever heard- a sound all it's own. I own '76 & '88 MM Rays and
recently MM Stingray5 H Piezo. The 35CA amazingly enough ranks equal position.
Now discontinued, maybe folks were afraid. Highly recommended "keeper".

Not gonna need a number yet but I did score a 5 string Phoenix; I’ll request a number when it shows up (with pics of course!)

 

[sumgruuvz]

I didn’t realize this club was here. Pretty low key I guess but I’d like to join if I may. My one and only 5er.

Hey! So here is my latest 5'er. A beautiful CP Thornton!!

Congratulations. That looks awesome!

 

[Nightman]

My first passive bass! I mistakenly thought passive jazz basses had no or very little character, and most of them looked alike. Well, this CP Thornton proved that to be absolutely wrong!! This bass is amazing and I'm surprised at its seemingly low popularity. Maybe it all has to do with CP Thornton being a very small northeastern shop.

Is this meant to drive us crazy with curiosity? Cause if it is, it’s working.
Pic?

 

[ghostinthemach]

Oh, never mind, that’s what I get for reading drawkcab.

 

[Nightman]

Oh, never mind, that’s what I get for reading drawkcab.

Yep, I posted the pic of the bass just a few posts up, but I have no issues with showing it again. No shame in my game!!

 

[armybass]

Mmmm ok I have a few that I really like too. No number needed. Two JB5’s, an L2500 and a Stingray 5.
