S.U.B. 5 string spacing

[Steve-O]

Hey all, sorry if this has been discussed before, but I could't find the answer I'm looking for. Is the string spacing on the S.U.B fiver tighter than that of the standard Music Man Stingray 5? It appears to be in pictures.

Thanks!

No it should be the same. That is what I always thought. Maybe someone from EBMM Customer Service will reinforce my feelings.

Haven't taken any measurements, but the spacing on my SUB5 feels exactly the same as my other EBMM 5ers.

OK, I got my answer from ThePerfectBass.com. According to them, the spacing at the bridge IS tighter on the CURRENT S.U.B Ray5 than on a standard SR5 or Sterling Ray35. Maybe not so on the 1st generation S.U.B., which is altogether different than the current SBMM model.
