BG Previews SR5 20th Anniversary Model

[fogman]

Great vid & review!
I don't even play bass and it makes me want to buy one. That thing has some killer sounds! On top of being a real looker!

 

[EdFriedland]

Ed, does your shirt say "low standards"?

I want one.

Tell me how to get one.

Talk to Rob Elrick, that shirt is advertising his strings on the back.

Thanx for sharing Ed. Now I'm gassing for the 20th fiver

That goes to all those who say the neck pickup is too close to the neck for slapping, of course it can be done.

 

[sloshep]

Thanks Ed,

Even with the open room miking that bass shines through.


Oh no, here come those GAS pains again........

 

[hmagman]

Ed, you kill as usual. Thanks for the great demo...

Have these basses been shipped to dealers? I'm looking forward to try that B-string.

Anyone know where can I try one in SoCal?

Thanks,

Ed the tone block is huge on both basses and guitars...it just refocuses the mids for lack of better terminology. To just focus on the mahog is the mstake it is the marriage of the three tone woods.

The goal for us with anniversary models is to create a blend of where we started to where we are now and that bass starting with the Alnico through to the three tone wood body works for us.

Of course we know that people will buy them but we dont do anniversary instruments for marketing...we actually want them to be cool and make a little statement that says we remember where we started and are happy where we are going.

Hey folks, check this out @ Bass Guitar's YouTube channel .....

YouTube - Bass Guitar Magazine -Sneak Preview SR5 20th Anniversary

Very cool video, and great bass! You make it look so easy.
I have your "Slap Bass" DVD as well. Great work! Thanks.

 

[nashman]

Great video ... you make it look so easy Ed.

I love to see these videos in general. Pictures, descriptions etc. only go so far ... with the video, you get to see, hear and better understand the instrument in terms of how it looks, sounds etc..

I'd like to see someone do a video that compares a Stingray, Sterling and Bongo!
