I'll probably keep that one for a while :)

Do tell! :-)

Shit the bed.

Best bass I’ve ever played, hands down.

9 lb 5 string. You read that right. 9lb. It’s actually the lightest bass I’ve owned in the last wee while, including my 4 string Jazz.

It’s a Stingray Special 5HH and it sounds spectacular, the neck is perfect and a dream to play.

Super fucked off with myself though, as I overtightened one of the screws changing out for strap locks and snapped the head off. FML.

B string is tight and growly, and blends beautifully with the others. No quiet g string problem, and the preamp sounds open and awesome, with none of the gross upper mid gank the old 3 bands have. As with all the dual pickup Rays, the 1st, 2nd, and 4th switch positions are to die for with the 5th meh and the 3rd gross.
