Wow! That is just killer. I don't even play fives, and this is the first time I've ever felt a little bit sorry about that. If this is our first taste of the BFR, keep 'em coming!
I was talking to Scotty earlier and just got off the phone with BP and the thing that keeps KILLING me is - the bridges.
Those are ORIGINAL bridges, the first ones, from the ORIGINAL run of Stingray 5s!
I mean, how cool is THAT?
Sure, I get the rest of the bass, believe me. Ebony board? Yeah! That finish! The inlays! The WOOD.
But those bridges kill me. BP's always talking about LE and Anniversary instruments being linked to the past while looking towards the future. How cool is THAT?
And that BFR SR5 is almost but not quite an entirely different instrument than a regular SR5...but it's still a Stingray 5.
Just unbelievable, really.
Dargin and Dudley and the design team have every right to be patting themselves on the back.
And in addition to the looks and super-high coolness factors, I'm sure that playing one of these will result in your other basses getting a well deserved rest.
"Well kids, it's medical experiments for the lot of you..."
Well, (thankfully) I didn't like the look of the 20th SR5, but this here BFR 20th SR5 is dead sexy. Just look at the back of that neck!
