I was looking at the one Bass Bros just sold but it went fast 

what year is yours? 

Mines a 78

[Old Horse Murphy]

I have this one on long-term loan on exchange for some kit I'm not using. It's absolutely mint (still has the cellophane in the pickguard) and I've gigged it for my last two gigs which incidentally were the first occasions I've actually ever gigged a five string (despite owning them in the past).

 

I was determined to lose that  particular cherry as I'd always not had the confidence to play one live, especially while singing. Anyway, I took the plunge and thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the transposing songs to incorporate the B string on the hoof too. The second gig felt like I'd always been doing it. 
 

Its a late-2021 Special in Raspberry Burst (one of the good ones with a well/behaved G String that doesn't fall off the fingerboard). It's under 9lbs too which is a real bonus. 
 

I've got it for a while yet but it's owner is making noises about doing a swap and I'm all ears

I was about to write the same 👍

[Old Horse Murphy]

Thanks both. I think it's actually Cherryburst and it's a 1996'er. It weighs in at just under 8 1/2lbs and I just love the sound of the 2eqs.

Same here, there is something about the sound of the 2EQ that just works for me.

My Classic Ray is 2eq and it's currently strung with TI Flats that work really well with the electrics.

My 91 SR 4H has GHS Pressurewound strings and I think they work really well!

maple board, looking forward to that one coming up for sale 😄

[MM Stingray 62]

My DarkRay now with a matte black pick guard. 
 

[msb]

Ok , that’s one fine looking thing !

 

[Stingray5]

I'm also picturing it with a black pickup cover, but either way, the bass looks very cool 👍😎👍

I’m surprised anyone could hear it over the noise your jacket is making…

[MM Stingray 62]

The old vs the new

 

[BassAgent]

Awesome! How do they compare?

[MM Stingray 62]

The Pre Ernie Ball sounds better I’m not saying special doesn’t sound great because it does. The special is lighter 8 lbs and more comfortable to play.

Utterly hopeless trying to resist. Looking for a status neck to go on one of the maple necked basses now.

Beautiful. I had the same, Honeyburst, Rosewood, 3-band eq, pre-compensated nút. Why did I ever get rid of it 🤷🏼‍♂️.
