SR5s from that ere are a design classic and I suspect will soon be collector's items far more so than their 4-string counterparts. Beautiful instruments to look at, play, and listen to 👍 

Always found it interesting how totally different these are to the 4 string version. The pickup switch, body contouring and even the pickguard. I don't usually play a 5 string but I feel like it's such an upgrade with the Stingray

Love the colour...

Yeah! The EB website lists it as "white", so I'm not sure if this is it's natural colour or if it's happened with age. Either way, it looks cool!

Musicman Stingray H 5 string bass in an off-white / cream finish, with rosewood fretboard

This is a 2007 model with the Ceramic pickups

3 band active EQ and 3 way selector switch for series/parallel/single coil mode

Comes with a Hiscox case as pictured. Very light damage on the outside of the case which is visible in the photos.

Some cosmetic marks on the upper horn as pictured, these can't be seen when you're "wearing" the bass 😅

The tuning pegs aren't shiny like the rest of the hardware, not really sure why as they've been that way for years, but I kind of like it!

Really comfortable bass to play, well balanced with a really smooth neck, and obviously the Stingray sound.

Collection only please, based in Northamptonshire 

Thanks for looking!

Why is the singist wearing a gauntlet from a suit of armour?

Enquiring minds wanna know!

He’s got two gloves. Looks like he’s going for the Hellboy look. Must be rock n roll 🤘

There's your answer 😂

A proper Rock pose and is acceptable. Out of curiosity what kind of bass is that. Looks good.

 

Thanks! It's a Peavey Zodiac. I've had a bit of a love affair with them for a while now!

Sorry guys 😂

Every gig I do this, and I pull a bird every time.

Might be a slight exaggeration...

I always have the volume and tone full up as I've set my tone around that. If I need to adjust on the fly I just dial back to suit

You don't know me! 😂

There's also.

The different shape body (long skinny horns Vs stubby slightly offset horns),made from basswood instead of alder. 12" radius fretboard instead of 8". BBOT bridge instead of the heavier one on the Zodiac.

Oh and mucking about with 4mm allen keys to adjust the TR opposed to the Zodiac adjustment wheel.

Only one of my six has the adjustment wheel!

Such a shame they don't do the Zodiac anymore... I'm actually tempted to buy a Milestone 4 (PJ config), change the pups to SDs and restring with D'Addarios. Almost the exact same spec as a DE Scorpio then! 

One less fret though ;) 

Sid approached me as I only owned five Peavey Zodiacs, and he knew this wasn't as many as I needed. He was kind enough to hold the one he owned for a couple of weeks for me, communication was very thorough and he even went to the trouble of arranging us meeting up at a fellow BCer's place near me as he was buying a bass too! Thanks again dude

Oh bugger, it's in London 

About half an hours drive to Birmingham

I love Zodiacs, I have five of them now! Weirdly enough the white and rosewood ones are the lightest, have the thinnest necks and a less deep sound.

The bridges are poor quality pressed steel which will eventually cause your strings to break if you play super hard like me. If you replace it with another metal it'll make the tone noticeably less bright. They look nice with hipshot kickass bridges, and if you get the steel saddle inserts it will sound very close to the original bridge

Good call GM. It's a shame as they used to offer really good service, and were the only place I'd order from. I didn't actually realise they'd changed hands at the time but knowing that, and that problems are still ongoing, I'd never use or recommend them again.

I had trouble with them last year after placing a £200 order which was never fulfilled. They ignored phonecalls, voicemails, emails and facebook messages, and only tried to contact me after a couple of weeks and a successful PayPal dispute. They phoned to offer an excuse and I told them I didn't want to know and hung up. flip those guys!

Bugger! If sale falls through please message me mate.

If not... Enjoy em Mikey, they're amazing pickups!!

I've had Elixirs on my main basses since 2017 and theyre still bright and clangy. I'm gonna find a few older posts and mention it in there too.

Ee-pip-honey

Passive bass, preferably with single coils, steel roundwounds, low action, and a decent drive pedal. Sansamp will do the job easily enough!

“no one in the audience wants to see or hear the boring bass player, they only want to see the guitarists doing their solo’s”

To be fair, standing in front of the guitarist during a solo is like standing in front of the vocalist during the choruses haha

I play passive basses with my fingers and play quite hard. I definitely need compression!

I wouldn't even be mad

It's difficult to imagine Peavey making lightweight gear. Maybe it really is that small but still weighs like 40lbs!

Nice! Hows it sound compared to, say, the old Max / Firebass series amps? I've had Markbass for years but compared to old Peavey stuff it's kinda thin sounding
