I love the Classic SR''s. The other day I finally got to try out a Classic SR5 (first one I've actually played). It was a great sounding bass. I got to play it through the Markbass 800 tube into a MB 15 Traveler cab. Sounded great. I think I'll be saving for one of these.
I also got to try a 5 string Sterling HS. It's the first one I've seen in person. Again, it was a great sounding bass and it would be difficult to choose b/w the two.
