Dude ain't the only one...

My cousin Steve licks basses, too!

Here's a pic I snapped at the gig last night

That being said, the bassist is thinking of ordering up a new SR5 fretless HS to compliment the SR5 H. Anyone have any experience good/bad with a fretless SR5?

 

[Figjam]

Any EBMM is a good EBMM

It's all good, and you should know that

I own a 1989 SR5 FL. and hey, go figger, it's just like my 1992 fretted SR5 without frets...
hmmm. Imagine that, production consistancy! ALthough I think the pickup is a bit different in the 89, seems hotter to my ear.

by all means tell him to get the fretless , he won't be sorry!

 

[Colin]

Dude you should have trademarked that little move

I know the basses are good, some people just suck at playing and then try to blame it on the bass.


That being said I guess I'll just tell him to pick out a color and pickguard.

Pete ~ Jack posted a shot of Erika playing a FL SR5 earlier today.

Ask him what his opinion was of that bass.

I saw the pic, he said later on that he didn't like the missing lines.... I guess other than that it was a StingRay5, which means I will just bully Brian into ordering the bass.

Cool deal! I personally love a blank board on a fretless; so much grain to show off...unless it's ebony.

 

[Figjam]

I really like blank boards as well.

I really like blank boards as well.

Especially a nice Pau Ferro grain, oiled and polished up!

 

[Dr Stankface]

That blue dawn SR5 on Chuck Levins with the blank plank keeps calling my name.

I truly love my SR5. He needs to look into a Bongo single H.

IMHO

[PeteDuBaldo]

tk, he's played a Bongo 4 HS that I brought to a gig for him to try out - way too much mojo for the other guys to deal with. Talk about jaw-dropping thump, he played the first note of a song and the other guys all turned to look at him with their jaws dropped wide open and eyes wide with fear. Personally, I think you're right but the man wants another SR5 in fretless. I'll work him up to the Bongo.

 

[tkarter]

All I can do is preach the sermon. It either works or it won't.

[Big Poppa]

intonation is my friend.....I only play lined fretless' whats the big deal? I truly appreciate guys who can play in tune with an unlined one.......I am not man enough...BUt once again Isnt it great that we have choices?

 

[Dr Stankface]

Very well put by the big man himself.

Thank you BP for all the choices you give us.

[Lazybite]

When i first heard of/saw a fretless it was unlined.... then I heard one and I was depressed because I didn't realised they came lined.... now oneday when I have the guts to fork out the money I will get one (probably make that a 5 string.. another thing I don't have the guts to buy)..

 

[jblake]

You can't go wrong with an SR5 fretless. I'd go with an HP over the HS but that's just me.

 

[Dargin]

The SR5 HS lined fretless could be my next bass. I was playing one through an envelope filter with the single soloed and it killed....
