Didn't think I'd ever own one of these...

I traded away one of my custom built basses because my Bongos get all of my playing time, and the other bass's neck simply felt too wide at this point.

So, I got quite a bit of $$$$, and I also scored this minty SR4.

I got it home yesterday (it showed up at work), dropped on a set of Group III flats and lowered the pickup a little. It sounds and plays great. I'll see if it needs a truss rod tweak after it settles, but so far, so good. Oh, and the tort guard on the way will make it a little more me, too.

I never really had a SR speak to me before like the Bongos speak to me, but then I've never really played an SR with flats before, either....This bass has a great neck and it feels a lot lighter than the ones I've played in the past. So, while I got this bass with the intention of flipping it, I can see it making a case for permanent resident. Stay tuned....

Gotta be a good feeling, get a good bass and cash back.

a beauty! congrats.

Very nice. Though I've seen some really nice four strings in your arsenal, and it seems like they all eventually move elsewhere. The SR with flats is a good thing -- I put flats on the 30th Anniversary and they're going to be there for a long time.

Cash back is good too.
