[quote name='Rich' post='1278564' date='Jun 22 2011, 02:30 PM']Just a quick question, as I'm genuinely interested to know. Yes he's certainly looking at the neck, but what is it about the pic that convinces you he's [i]staring[/i] at it? For all we know, that could quite easily have been the first time he looked at it all night.[/quote] Keep watching, he's not moving at all.

So, no UK eh? I wonder is it for less hassle, or is it shifting the goal posts to make it less likely to get the 125.......

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1278000' date='Jun 22 2011, 12:31 AM']Yeah I just re-read and realised that, damn you for quoting me before I deleted my post haha. I thought the quote from the original post would explain it better so I just removed my whole post.[/quote] I move quick, unless it requires actual physical speed or effort! I probably should have posted the whole quote at the start, cheers for that.

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1277992' date='Jun 22 2011, 12:26 AM']BP isn't making it easy though, there has to be enough people that wants a black bass with a rosewood board.[/quote] You can have maple, rather than rosewood.

It would be ridiculous, indeed, which is why I wouldn't bank on it working out that way.

[quote name='Shockwave' post='1277970' date='Jun 22 2011, 12:03 AM']And how much would retail/standard SR5 cost? ha. Might go for the single H meself.[/quote] 1500 usd, for the US buyers, IIRC, I don't know how it'd work out for someone buying it here direct from them, weather they'd charge more, or just import tax and the usual from importing axes.

[quote name='Shockwave' post='1277962' date='Jun 21 2011, 11:52 PM']Any ideas on pricing? I am very tempted and I have the money![/quote] Same as a standard SR5, but it could be at retail, I don't know. EDIT, won't be long before it's up on that link, they said Tuesday, but I dunno if that's Tuesday today, or in a weeks time.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1277937' date='Jun 21 2011, 11:38 PM']Or do they think they do because of threads telling them if they are moving from a four they must have exactly the same as there four string bass?[/quote] Bit of both. I know some people who it physically hurts to play too tight string spacing for any length of time. I know some people who it physically hurts to play too wide string spacing for any length of time, too. Some it's just a tech issue, like them double thumpy fellows. Some I imagine like familiarity between their instruments. Some may just want to be cool. Some may just be following the pack, I suppose, I don't really know.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1277900' date='Jun 21 2011, 11:06 PM']You can order and buy direct from EBMM, ask musicman20. Not really something that bothers me anyway I'm happy for different basses to feel different, Jazz feels like a jazz, ray feels like a ray etc it's all part of the fun for me.[/quote] Personally I actually prefer medium spacing to wide, but it seems a lot of guys need that room.

Maybe when it's themselves it might be different. Oh, and H or HH is an option.

Supposedly you'll be able to buy them right from the site, here. [url="http://store.music-man.com/home/index/574.3"]http://store.music-man.com/home/index/574.3[/url]

EBMM said they'll do a run of them(and make it a standing option), if they can get 125 orders for one in the next two weeks. Black finish, maple or rosewood fretboard.

[quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='1274966' date='Jun 19 2011, 05:18 PM'] Blame that guy if you don't like the Warwick thumb SC, he designed it with his friend Pretty good tone though, (even though i sense many won't care for what he plays haha) Everytime i see that ACG it looks nicer and nicer, whats the top/face wood?[/quote] Definitely think it's one of the worse looking SC's, but dang does it sound great!

Wild, wild looking bass!

This thread is all about the sexy basses, eh? Man I love everything in this thread! Here's my beloved Roscoe SKB 3005. And my Traben Tribal Sun, though I understand it's a bit gaudy for most tastes.

Gorgeous! What a top! I'd love to try one of them out someday.

Yup, sparkly bassses are awesome! I got one of the pink sparkle Corts, love it.

That is a true beauty!

Gorgeous looking bass too!

[quote name='ahpook' post='1275324' date='Jun 19 2011, 10:06 PM']that's not too bad to my eyes...i think the slimness of the body offsets the extra wood for the singlecut.[/quote] That's what I like about it, even with the extra wood, it's still slinky and streamlined.

[quote name='Machines' post='1274383' date='Jun 19 2011, 07:07 AM']Wood & Tronics Chronos 5: [/quote] Always loved the look of the Chronos. The Benevente single cut ain't bad either.

It's funny, guitar builders spent a lot of time thinking of how to add cutaways for playability. Now they're removing them again..... progress in reverse.

If you could find an old Lakland 55-76, you'd be sorted. Nordstrand are planning on doing a 5er with a single MM pickup and their new 2 band MM pre, which will be available in 19mm spacing.

That white SKB is truly gorgeous, I've seen it before, somewhere. Gives me serious GAS, always wanted a white Roscoe.

I greatly enjoyed looking through this thread, stunning basses by everyone.
