Feelgood Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 OK, here's my 2008 SR4. I took some pics recently as I was thinking about selling. Turns out I'm a bit reluctant to part with it! [attachment=37038:P1030962.JPG] [attachment=37039:P1030968.JPG] Quote

I think i'm one of the only people that honestly doesn't mind that 12th fret inlay too Edited November 25, 2009 by budget bassist Quote

OutToPlayJazz Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Here you go... How's about a four and a five? I'm actually very impressed with the 5er. It's a very different beast to the 4, with a much more natural scooped sound (in parallel mode, anyway.) Almost more polite than the four. Lovely basses all round Edited November 25, 2009 by OutToPlayJazz Quote
budget bassist Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) awesome seems a good pair to have with the different magnets and coil tap in the 5. I still really want a sterling 5 You should take some proper pics in the light tomorrow or something, that pearl blue is a beautiful colour in the right light!

I was wondering why the sound was so different to the piezo Ray! Quote

Nice bass Rich - my favourite 5er. Quote
harvey1-8 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Wow, lots of MusicMan porn today. Nice basses all round chaps, keep the photos coming! Quote
