SR-5 "Naturally"

[LowBb]

I 'm the proud owner of a brand spankin new SR-5 Natural w/ maple board. After a minor truss rod adjustment to lower the strings a tiny bit.. it's FANTASTIC!!!! no buzz., ANYWHERE!!!

and

it weighs way under 10 pounds...can't get an exact weight (crappy scale), but it's under 10, closer to 9.5...

What other basses have you owned, and how do they compare to your new SR-5? I'm looking at a Sterling, but so far, no one has replied to my question. Rock On, and best of luck! bassDADDY

BassDADDY,

The only Bass that I've owned/played consistantly for comparison to my SR5 is a early 70's Fender P that I got new in '72 or '73 when I was around 14 years old. This particlular P bass is pretty much an extension of my being.... So, I guess I'm a bit spoiled.

That being said, I'm not big into the "newest thing" when it comes to the Bass.


As for the Sterlings, I hav'nt had the opportunity to handle one yet... BUT, if my SR5 is any indication of Ernie Ball quality and the Sterling feels good in your hands...GET IT!!!!!
