Holiday Torture: Sr5 20th

[bovinehost]

You just missed us. Paul and Larry were over with some sort of fancy scotch and loads of basses. We'll let you know next time we're gathering.

Sounds cool. I saw from your images that you have a drumset there too. Seeing as how bass is my second instrument and drums is my first perhaps we could get the deep pocket thing going on.

 

[Big Poppa]

Deep pockets....jack usually serves hot pockets

Deep pockets....jack usually serves hot pockets

Oh sure, go ahead and make fun of what we eat around here.....hey, wait a minute.

How did you know we had Hot Pockets?

Spooky.

 

[WesC]

Mmmmmm hot pockets...

 

[Bill]

I eat Hot Pockets nearly every day for lunch at work. Okay, so they're Lean Pockets. And I am slightly leaner than I was several months ago.

Spooky.

Where's the 20th Anniv SR5 Mod when you need um?

 

[KennethB]

And the waiting begins............

As a self-proclaimed 4-string, single H, rosewood kinda guy I decided it's time to shake things up a little bit. So I ordered a 20th SR 5 HS with a maple board and matching headstock. Expected delivery: 6-8 months!! Price: You don't want to know!
Did I make a good choice? I think so
Will I go insane waiting for it? Maybe
Will it be so much the sweeter when I finally get it? Oh, yes! I expect it to be slightly sexual! Oh, baby.

 

[bovinehost]

Whoa, Kenneth.

I bow down. That is excellent news, my friend.

Jack

 

[KennethB]

Thanks, Jack.
You know," I felt that something was missing. And that "that something" is a B-string."

Oh man, you lucky dog you! That's exactly the model I'd love to have!

I just might know where you could get your hands on one of those badboys.... possibly as early as April

Oh man, you're killing me! That's not the kind of news my wallet needs to hear!

(You're going to PM me with some details, right? )

As said, only one color: California Sunset red.

They come with any pickup-config you want (H, HS or HH), maple or rosewood fingerboard and only other option is with or without matching headstock.

You can simply order one from a German dealer, but I wouldn't hesitate too long. About two weeks ago, I asked Dargin and he said I had about 2 monts to put my order in

And last but not least, here in Europe, they don't come cheap... but than again, you get what you pay for I'm putting in the order for mine sometime next week. I'm still waiting for a couple of price-quotes.

 

[mobis.fr]

thx for your answers.

i hope the anniversery model coasts not too much additional charge.
you have to pay for a normal HH model about 2400€ (~ $3150), but maybe a standard model will be good enough for me

 

[Rick]

Which one of you all should I will this to? Cuz my wife is gonna kill me.

 

[KennethB]

Your wife should love you for having great taste. But if she's gonna kill you....well,I'll take the bass,please.

 

[MrMusashi]

this bass was so awesome i just had to order one, THEN register here

oh baby, its deffo time to renew the basses and i cant wait till i get it in august!!!

maple neck, hh and matching headstock.. took a good chunk off my savings, but i recon its worth it

ps: whats with all them nordic languages in signatures? are there a lot of us here?
