New SR5

[xring]

This month old SR5 has been passed around in it's young life, and I was fortunate to become it's 3rd owner - or at least I will be - come Monday. No, there's nothing wrong with it, so I've been told.
I hope the previous owners have found worthy basses to replace it. I know at least one has (yo Joe!).
I will now have to compare it to my SH Bongo, and see how she fares. If it plays half as good as it looks, all will be well.

NICE! Great score!

 

[Figjam]

Looks good

That's bears a striking resemblence to my trans red SR5 before the pickguard swap and minus the matching headstock. She's absolutely beautiful.

As an SR5 and Single H Bongo owner I will tell you this.

You got bottom lots of it.

Congrats and enjoy.

Holy crap, that's a beauty!

Damn, those matching headstocks look good!
She's to die for!

 

[Bill]

Very beautiful!

I'm playing an imaginary bassline on that baby just from looking at that maple fingerboard. That's got to be a good sign.

and it's a killer line of course ... ;-) (in my mind anyway)

 

[Mobay45]

I have a new found appreciation for red basses. That's beautiful!

I hope someone is writing this down...this stuff is gold

 

[TSanders]

Is that trans red or trans orange. On my monitor it could go either way.

 

[xring]

It's trans red.

 

[Alma]

Smooth! Enjoy.

 

[Dr Stankface]

C'mon Travis. You swapped pickguards with a trans red SR5 remember???

Before...

After...

I have just got to say that this bass plays like no SR5 I have ever handled at a GC - new or used. It is so easy to move around on the neck, I can't even believe it. I also have the SC/HH Bongo 5, and even though it's a killer bass with it's own tone, it cannot duplicate the sound of this bass. The G is not so close to the end of the board that it will be an annoyance either.
Only one problem: It's so pretty, I'm afraid I might scratch it. I can live with that minor quirk.

Whoa. Didn't know they made them with 2 humbuckers AND a single coil.
