[bass4worship]

After 40 years of playing bass I just got my first StringRay 5 bass and I must say it sounds awesome. I was trying some out went they first came out but the neck felt to big so I didn't brother to get one. This 5 feels real good in my fett hand. Here a picture:

That is one sweet bass. love the maple neck.The 5 in my opinion is the way to go, the string spacing is perfect.To me it is easier to play than a 4.Hey I love your sig and you will love doing praise and worship with that SWEET bass.I play at my "home church" about 3 times a month and I think everyone there knows my SR Trans red/maple 5 and now also a lava pearl Bongo5 And even on occasion my SR5 honeyburst fretless.I get compliments about sound and looks quite a bit.Congrats and blessings

Nice choice, and not to mention of options as well -- you have that nice vintage vibe going there! I have the HH version of that same combination of options.

You will enjoy your new bass tremendously!

I LOVE natural/tort SR5s. If it had a rosewood BFR neck (or at least a rosewood fingerboard) it would be my favorite looking bass ever. There is just something abut them...

Anyway, well done on a great purchase.

I was just at GC yesterday...getting some picks and wandered over to the bass pit. Played a bunch O basses then grabbed the Stingray 5..HH...

Gosh...I just shook my head and thought, why did I bother playing these other ones...yeesh..and that NECK. awesome..seems a little thinner front to back than I remembered...

Played it through an SVT....No one in the store..it was a blast.

Well I was busy trying out all the basses I could and I got to hear the MM on a TV gospel show that was outside in a park. When I hear it even on my set I knew I had to try it out one more time. I went over to my local music store but they didn't have anymore MM so I took a chance and got this one off EB. I don't know why he sold it but I got it now. This will be my main bass.
