what do you lot think

[DTG]

I had been playing a J for years and then bought a SR4 and fell in love with,giged it for 7 years.On one very mad moment (in Holland)in time I sold it for a P bass,loved it for a while but missed the MM sound.

A friend of mine was selling a SR5,so i bought it,its amazing its beautiful its just great.......but I just cant dig the whole 5 string vibe.it feel funky and is great as our singer like to drop the key in some songs and the extra B makes that so easy.

I just really want a SR4 again,but cant afford to but another Bass (just became a dad).

I have 3 basses

P (2 years old,never going to make any decision in Holland again!)

J (1986,had it for years,cant sell it)

SR5 (just beautiful,but 5 sting does ot feel as natural to me)

Do i keep the p bass ( i do like it every now and then) and sell the sr5 so i will have a SR4 and a p bass,just accept that i am not a 5 string man.

or sell the P so i have an SR4 and a SR5

Do i just need to 5 strings more time??

Cheers,
DTG

Hi DTG

How long have you had the 5-string for? Perhpas you do need to give the SR5 a bit more time.

having said that - I've always been a 4 string kind of guy, never really got to grips properly with 5 string basses, sounds like you really want to go back to a SR4 ...

If you sold the P bass or the SR5, which would you miss more? and which would you play the most if you bought a SR4? - if you're into the Stingray sound I'd sell the P bass and add a SR4 to your collection.

Or if you are really not into the 5 stringers sell the P bass and the SR5, and get yourself a SR4 and a bongo ...

 

[DTG]

LOL never really taught about the bongo!!!like the way you think

 

[saxnbass]

Trade the SR5 for either an SR4, Sterling, or Bongo4.

 

[ekb16b]

sell the p-bass and get the sr4

 

[LowDownDave]

Or you could advertise it as "for trade" in the for sale sticky at the top, as there may be someone looking to swap their SR4 for an SR5. Pics?

Thats a nice road trip,there is some nice gigs in Ireland.There is also some strange ones too.Cork! up 2 flights of stairs across a pool room down another flight of stairs go straight through a restaurant into a bar where the stage is at the other end up another set of stairs.........after all that its one of the best gigs in Cork!!

There is also a couple of good American Football teams along the route,but thats for another thread
