Hamster Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 [quote name='BassManKev']ernie ball/Status-graphite Musicman Stingray 5 'Blue Dawn', WITHDRAWN, like anything is gunna better this[/quote] Actually there are quite a few basses out there better than even a graphite necked SR5 - but I must admit this is a nice bass at a nice price, or at least it was, or is until the dreaded gas strikes again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutToPlayJazz Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Good move, Kev. It's always a hard one to sell your main player! I'm sure something else will come along to compliment it, as opposed to replacing it Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 after playing it extensivly over the weekend, and discovering my hand still isnt liking it and realising that the B is really never used as anything but an anchor, its back up. im more keen on seeing what trades i could be offered, again obviously 4 string orientated the prices are concrete, so if they are good for you, let your interest known thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only been a day since you withdrew it to try and stretch it out. Plus theres no way that you wanna give this bass away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Bass Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 kev a tip: dont think of a 5 string like a 4 with an extra string. Get some music that is written for a 5 and start learning that or find ways to play your bass lines using the B it will come in time but it takes time. just my 2 pence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathewsanchez Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Change the stringing to EADGC. You'll fall in love with it all over again. It's such a special bass you should never part with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbass Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 yeah re stringing it so it has an extra high string as opposed to a low opens up all kinds of possibilities, definately give that a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBeefChief Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I think selling this and buying another bass is a fantastic idea. I doubt after your next purchase you''ll even look at another bass again, let alone buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
