Hi Mike I've got 2 fives, a euro LX and and older ns5 cr. both have a low mid growl but the CR being solid maple is a lot brighter than the LX with maple, alder and a walnut sandwich. The LX has a very smooth top end, amazing for recording, the CR is nicer live I find but both are very versatile. That said, I have a friend who has a CR with an EMG 3 band circuit in (mine are tone pumps) and it sounds a bit different, in fact I think he may have it up for sale? Thanks Dave

Thanks It's a J neck, very slim and comfortable. I've got an MM version too and that is identical to the real MM necks but seems very slim too, possibly the high gloss finishes? Cheers Dave

Hahaha more like Iron Lung, ill never learn

Gone

Bought this off Fin last weekend, it was a bit gig worn so being the precious tart that I am I decided to repaint the grills and baffle board and re tolex it. This is how i got it, [URL=http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2691_zpsb030ef76.jpg.html][IMG]http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/cd_david/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2691_zpsb030ef76.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2688_zpsfa02b959.jpg.html][IMG]http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/cd_david/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2688_zpsfa02b959.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2689_zps812b06f3.jpg.html][IMG]http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/cd_david/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2689_zps812b06f3.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2687_zpsc2e01718.jpg.html][IMG]http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/cd_david/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2687_zpsc2e01718.jpg[/IMG][/URL] This is the painting done, [URL=http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2912_zps71d00897.jpg.html][IMG]http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/cd_david/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2912_zps71d00897.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And this is it completed, [URL=http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2923_zps3c0667d7.jpg.html][IMG]http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/cd_david/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2923_zps3c0667d7.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2926_zps7b76c6ce.jpg.html][IMG]http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/cd_david/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2926_zps7b76c6ce.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2925_zps85515b46.jpg.html][IMG]http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/cd_david/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2925_zps85515b46.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2927_zps8d7916e6.jpg.html][IMG]http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/cd_david/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_2927_zps8d7916e6.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Im well happy with it now.
