Holiday Torture: Sr5 20th

[Figjam]

Wheres stanky?

 

[Psycho Ward]

OK, BP do you want my money now or after the first of the year, which ever works best for taxes, let me know...

 

[Randracula]

Here is a little Holiday torture for you guys...Ash body, Maple top. Mahogany block, Rear-Mounted Electronics, and other goodies included. Regular bass HH switching. Let's see how sharp your eyes are.....

I think my heart just skipped a beat

Those pics make my pants feel funny. Holy freekin' cow!!

 

[Dr Stankface]

Go ahead and make me one. I'm sold.

Are these available in single H????????? Fretless???

 

[tkarter]

What a beauty!!! I personally really like the pick-guard-less look. The body shape and wood "binding" are beautiful too.

This could be the "it" bass for me --- gotta get some savings together! Sell a few other basses, whatever I have to do. I'm thinking HS!

Congrats on the great work. How pricey will it be, I wonder?

Who cares what that one costs?

[HornetAMX]

Very nice! Put me down for a Single H with Maple board!

 

[bovinehost]

Well.

Well, well, well.

Dargin and I talked late last week and he told me what the prototype looked like, how it was built, finish and so on, and I kept walking around thinking, "I can't really get a visual."

I even pulled Heinz out and stared for a while.

I wasn't even in the ballpark.

Dargin and Dudley and everyone who worked on this - wow. Looks like another homerun on the anniversary model.

Has BP even seen this yet?

Ok, so did the early SR5's NOT have a beveled/carved top? Were they slabs like the SR4's ?? If so, when did the carved top happen? If not, why the slab now?

 

[midopa]

wowowowo

 

[tkarter]

I see SR5 guys. All the way. I don't see how to look at it like you are looking at it.

[soniq]

That's just downright mean.

 

[tkarter]

I don't see the toggle switches or the ugly bridge on the SR 5.

tk

 

[Dr Stankface]

The strap buttons look a little funny as well. Any elaboration on that or am I just retarted?

 

[tkarter]

When may we order? If I send a silver sharpie will BP, Dudley, and everyone else on the EB crew sign the back of it?

tk

 

[Dr Stankface]

Thanks.

Anyone else?

Be cool Jack. Be cool.

Would YOU happen to know if we can order these in single H?

 

[SteveB]

I don't know how I missed this thread until now, but I'm floored by that sucka.

Love the binding, and is the battery indicative of a piezo? Too cool. One of the nicest flame tops I've seen, and I dig the burst.. it looks somwhere between caramel burst and vintage sunburst or tobacco burst.

I don't know how the factory will manage to churn these out along with the Blue Dawn items, whatever BFRs come up, and maybe.. just maybe.. some F-1 Pets!
Egad you folks are going to be busy in 2007!

 

[fidooda]

wow, honestly that's the first SR5 that i like. Flat horns and no pickguard is completely AWESOME.

Guys

Our Anniversary models could be total cop outs and just make a reissue. I choose to commision an instrument that pays tribute to the original whilst incorporating our latest and greatest and all inbetween. There is so much thought, design, engineering and innovation for this bass that we are really proud. By the way if we weren't it wouldn't see the light of the NAMM floor.

Also I know that some of you are going to go crazy and some will be lukewarm and the lukewarm will probably get used to it especially after they hear the punchy tone block.

WE do have or hands full for next year and have stuff on the board already for at least two years more. I am excited to still be excited after all of these years on days like this.
