Comin Home Baby...SR5 content

[armybass]

Not quite the story as the return of Heinz, but as long and far a journey for sure. Sent this off to Jack at least a year and a half ago, maybe longer. Been through a few hands here in the EBMM Bass Forum and has made it all the way across the country and now coming back. Flow charts might be in order on this one too Jack.

Just to help keep the heads spinnin'

Scott, any idea where that natural lined fretless SR5 you got from me is residing these days? I think you may have swapped necks around at some point, but, of course, it's hard to keep up.

 

[bovinehost]

I had that from June through September of 2004 (for your records).

 

[armybass]

Wow so it was right at a year ago. I know it was on it's way to you just before we moved and here we are packing again tonight (last time for a while me hopes).


Todd, I really have to think about that. Ok, I do remember. I took the neck and put it on a black SR5 and put the maple neck on it. Sold both of them to folks in the not so close area...DC and Tenn. Now if my memory were that good for other stuff

 

[armybass]

Does anyone know where the black pickguard is now. I would love to have it back. I have many cool things to trade or bargain with....

 

[armybass]

It's partner is waiting!

Check out the back and see if you can see anything unusual?

 

[bovinehost]

The black pickguard, the black pickguard....I think it may have gone to Ray in exchange for the tort guard he had in his trunk.

 

[armybass]

LOL....oh this is rich, then I have it. It is the one on the bass above because I took it off the Teal SR5 I got from Ray. Now top that for rediculous!

 

[bovinehost]

No.


That is just so wrong.

 

[armybass]

And of course the Tort that is on the bass came from me too. It would be icky if it were not so funny.

One piece body?

One piece body?

Wow, very good. I did not think anyone would get it so quick.

 

[Dargin]

I have a good Bp torture post stashed away about one piece bodies......

 

[Psychicpet]

Armybass, if you're interested I think you can find a relatively cheap natural SR5 with tort gaurd and white p/u that has a converted lined fretless fingerboard(meaning a fretless Rosewood board and not Pau Ferro) at the Long & McQuade in Vancouver

 

[armybass]

I know everyone swears that one piece boddies don't exist, but I'll bet anything that it is. I am that sure of it. I have a Sterling that I can not find the seam on but I am not sure about that one because the grain doesn't match up quite right but this SR5 is the real deal.

 

[armybass]

Here check it out in a larger shot.

[jongitarz]

Looks like 1 piece to me

 

[armybass]

Yeah, I did not believe it when I bought it from the guy. He said it is a one piece and I was like OK, sure. But I'll be danged if I can find a seam anywhere. I know it means absolutely nothing at all but it is fun for me in my simple little life.

 

[bovinehost]

I agree - if there was every a one piece body, that's one.
