Anyone know if the new versions of the 5's have 16.5 spacing or 19?

I wonder if Andertons will sell on your bass at a slightly reduced price as I wouldn't mind picking up one of these 👌

It's purely cosmetic as I hate the oversized sterling bridges. I prefer the slimmer looking stingray bridge 👍

There bridges look excellent but very expensive, I have also read they are never in stock. Going by the website that looks about right 😔

It's a sterling ray2 bass, 4 string. Shame, musicman don't sell direct replacements

Where sells them? Tried the ones sold off AliExpress and eBay and they are complete junk.

I wonder if the frank Bello Spector will be revealed at this year's namm 🔥

Mines just arrived today, same deal from thomann for the sunburst finish. Just requires a set up, but all good. I plan to strip out the pickups and EQ and replace with EMG

Apologies in advance for the stupid question, but can you completely remove a Sadowsky metro express EQ and pickups and replace with an active EMG P/J set as sold in most stores? I'm assuming this is completely possible but not commonly done?

Yes a BB3000 reissue would be the thing of dreams but I don't think that will be on the cards 😔 It will be interesting to see what Yamaha has planned for 2025

Wonder if the red finish is the same as the Peter Hook model? Looks like it! Would have been nice to see a few other colour options

Very interesting! Where did you hear this? I for one would like to see the return of the bigger body BB basses 🔥 I'm currently on the lookout for a BB424x or 1204x 👍

Probably best if I get a shop to do it 👍

Any idea the rough cost to have an unfinished bass body finished in sunburst? Cheaper the better 👍

I may just hang fire to see if the drop in price in the coming months.
