    Talking First post & back to EB after 10 years! ... with pics

    Hi guys,

    I have been without a musicman bass for 10 years plus - what was I doing??. I tried all sorts of basses but nothing sounded like my old SR5.

    I was looking at buying new but couldn't pass up this used SR5 with piezo option. I am waiting on some strings and setup (current strings are very light and DEAD as) to appreciate her in all her glory.

    Enjoy ... I certainly am

    Fantastic combination - meow! I'm a huge fan of abalone pickguards.
