Had a hellraiser ..great bass ...though I'm probably in the minority ...make sure you try out first just in case it's not for you ,I found the resale value very poor .......

spent this morning with this new strings ..played about with pickup heights and eq and I've found a sweet spot ...glad this didn't sell ..

Thanks for kind comments ...it is the most comfy 5 string I've ever played perfect neck and sound for my style ...

Now finished complete with new pickguard ..which was great product of ebay ...

The natural and the black are still in the lineup, probably the only ones that have been available from the start.

Ive just noticed they have dropped the wording single piece from the body wood specs and the natural one in the photo does have a join up the middle, which my pre EB did to be fair but it looks like single piece bodies are getting rare?

My sub is two pieces ...I've heard sandberg never use a single slab ,..as long as it's a good grain match ...colour wise I guess it all depends how long and what colours make if over here ...

Ahh twins !!....definetly leaving the neck as is looks cool ...

All the pastel colours seem to have gone ...I'll be honest I'n not fussed I'd take any of them and be very happy )

I've not been on the stingray site for a while ...was coral red I'd seen ..I'll go check out ...

Like the red ..don't like the white pickup cover though The clear finish looks stunning ..anyone seen the sledge colour ...?

That was my thought ..though my neck is still good ..the more I've looked at it the more I've thought leave it ..I think the tortoise pickguard will finish it nicely ..though I am saving for my classic but I'm stuck between black or sunburst ....

Been a little bored this week ...I decided to get rid of the "textured " paint ..(which I hated ) on my usa sub 5 ...the rumours were that they didn't use the best graded woods for these so this was a gamble and some will frown on doing this but I'm quite pleased with ,I've ordered a nice tortoise pickguard and have no intention of selling this ever ever ..the big question is "should I do the neck and headstock "??..my feeling is no as I'll loose the decal .. but opinions would be appreciated ..

Being a vain tart ..I've never liked the teardrop pickguard ...I had a usa sterling 5 string and didn't like it lost a huge amount reselling it I think we all guilty of this at some stage ...if my girlfriend new how much I had lost on buying bass's because of gas I would be living in a wheelie bin !...

I'd sell a kidney for that !

Love my usa 5 string sub .....only bass I gig now not the prettiest ..never really inspired by the stingray 5 ...I'm dropping some big hints to the other half about buying me a classic 5 ..they are jaw dropping beauty's and I need one in my life !

Hi mate ...I know it's shocking ...it's the emg''s I've fallen out of love with...seriously considering having some Bart jazz's put in this ,a straight swap with no butchering .....after this bump it's going to go under my kids bed ...how's the Christmas present .....?

Hi mate
This is a 34" scale ...

Last ever Bump and final price drop ...

Really would need to be a 5 mate ..hopeless with 4's now ....

Cheers mate ..I may take you up on that ....I'm watching a 5 string version of yours on eBay at the moment ..had a lakland for a while
With the same configuration as yours ...can't remember why I sold it on ...the ch5 has musicman style pickups which I'm tending to
Find suit my style ...good luck Boxing Day mate ....

Any trades mate ?

After hearing a mates cort at a rescent gig ...I've got a little gas for one of these bad boys ..though I beleive painy's had barts fitted (and was a diffrent model) this obviousley has a musicman style ...new there under £300.00 ! The sound bytes sound really good and you do get a lot more bang for your bucks now days )....but there are a lot of cheap end musicman style pups out there ...
Anyone got one or tried one ....

Bump
