Ugggh, I asked for turquoise, and they gave me TWO options. How am I supposed to pick just one?
Also, really can't decide on the H vs HH. An HS option would have made this easy. I feel like I want the neck pickups for more mellow options (as well as a thumb rest), but i'm not a fan of the look.
Tough decisions ahead...

Oh wow! So this is the new redesigned stingray? It's the Stingray Special? Or is this something in addition to that?

The Stingray Special is the newly designed SR. AKA 2018 Stingray

Mine is 8 lbs 4 oz. never thought an SR5 would weigh in at that.
According to the spec page it's set as a combo. I'm stoked that ebony is available on colors other than stealth black!
There are a few colors where it seems you can choose Rosewood or Maple in the configuration section. These tend to be the more traditional colors. But most only come with a specific fretboard.

I love the Charcoal sparkle, but something about those natural basses with the roasted maple fretboard just makes my heart melt. 2018 will be a good year!

I just wish the burnt apple looked better on the SR5. The huge PG covers up most of it. Looks great on the SR4 though!

I b——ed about the price increase, I admit it, but the Specials will easily hang with the “boutiques” in the $3-4K range. Dat neck!!
So, I played one at a local shop and I'm impressed with it. What a great bass.....now keeping that in mind. I think I still favor the sound/feel of my 30th Aniv.

Now dont everyone yell at me. It's all personal, but I'll say its an amazing bass and I look forward to when mine arrives.
But I think this 30th Aniv. is gonna have that special place for me....
