    My SR 5 came today!!

    My Egyptian Smoke SR 5 came today!! And man its beautiful!!! Thanks to Smallequestrian for selling me such a sweet bass!! Egyptian smoke is a strange finish to capture on film it looks good, but much cooler in person. With the matching headstock, its probably one of the coolest SR 5's Ive ever seen.

    I liked that one when Paul had it.

    I STILL like it.

    Congrats on a really nice one!

    Its a good one, played and sounded great. I didn't want to part with the Ringo bass just yet and I would have had to to keep that SR5. I feel I may have to order an SR5 of some sort next year though.

    Congrats John!

    That one turned around before I could even get over to Paul's to play it.
    Starting to think about returning to bass playing in the very near future.

    Normally not my style, but that one's an eye catcher!

    I havent had a 5 string in a while so Im having to re adjust. I always move my thumb to the string above the one Im playing to keep it from ringing and I keep pushing the B string in to the pole pieces with my thumb when I play on the other strings. May be time to learn a new technique.

    The SR5 string spacing is so comfy for my short fat little fingers. Combined with a generous nut width and a nice low B it makes for fun playing.

    I think the SR 5 is the best designed and easiest to play 5 string ever!!! Im so glad I got another one!! I started playing some Queen tunes on it and a little Yes after I pulled it out of the box today and it was great. Its really gonna come in handy because the guys im playing with want to start tuning down a half step on certain songs and now I can just change keys with out having to retune.
