I think its just a Limited run they brought out... Not really a jazz, but not really a P bass...got a pbass body... They brought out lesser models... yours is the top of the line..They also did one with a flame maple top... always wanted one when they had one in Aroundabout sound.... oh did i mention im very jealous!!

Very nice...you do know its not a jazz ...there actually called 'Zone' basses...

i want my SR5 back..anyone remember the guy who was selling ? blue with matching headstock..

apart from that amazing ACG, that 7 string Sei must sound biblical .. what is the pre and pups? als whats the weight like..?

This bass is my first love of electric bass.. its a custom Hamer Impact 5 string.. they were £3000 in 1989...they are so rare, and are mega bucks now.......apparently a very versatile bass with EMG's and a Bartolini 3 band eq... on the Hamer foum they were know for there light weight... 9- from what ive been told, there were only 10 made like this, but with different wood combo's...one had a natural flame maple top, with a darker wood body..matching headstock.. the Hamer tick in mother of pearl fret markers, on a brazilian mother of pearl binded rosewood board... now that is an exotic bass.

Now this is rare... refin but original 68 Jazz with original special custom order gold hardware, and matching headstock with gold Fender logo.. wowzer..

when i was 10 my dad who is a classical pianist,and we used to listen to music, told me to..... listen.

The best most comfortable 5 ive ever played was a Sting Ray 5, comfort, punchy tone..effortless... .. going from 4 to 5 was fairly easy. going to 6 was a little more time consuming.. i always found a wide neck more difficult.. my ultimate 5 string would have a very narrow, jazz like neck, with 18/19 string spacing at the bridge..

me.... recording with a couple of friends from my flat... and playing in a big caravan/motor home with a rapper...

HA!... fantastic!..... as usual H ....a pleasure to listen to.. i liked that..no i really liked that mate....

all added.. i think

please find me..... Andrew Gowing...i cant add if we are not friends

[quote name='thodrik' post='1086757' date='Jan 12 2011, 02:48 PM']I tried a 55-02 and 55-01 recently and really liked them. In the day where I also tried an Overwater Perception and an older series Fender American deluxe V, the Overwater 55-02 was my favourite by far. I really liked the neck profile which surprised me. I never really liked the profile of four string Laklands I have tried, but on the five it just seemed right. I wasn't entirely convinced by the electronics of either the 55-01 or 02, but they could easily be switched out. The overall build quality seemed pretty good on all the ones I tried as well, a much better 'good ones to dogs' ratio than Fender. Still regardless of that I have a hard time believing that the 55-02 Skylines are really a £1200 bass. But I think a £1200 bass is fairly different from it used to be, in terms of buying from shops.[/quote] Do you mean they are not worth the asking price of £1200?

[quote name='davebass66' post='1086857' date='Jan 12 2011, 04:12 PM']I was close to buying a 55-02 (I know it's the higher model but still), and didn't in the because of the low B string...TBH I'm a real stickler for a good feeling low B and too many of them (including Fender V's and the Laklands) just don't feel even with the rest of the strings. I don't wanna have to play the B any different to the A for example. In the end I stumped up a little more cash and bought a used Sei 5, which has an awesome B! I haven't played one of the US ones but the players I know who have really don't think there is a great difference in the playability or sound to that of the Skyline. I have to say tho, I love generally love the sound and feel of Laklands and still can't get the thought of owning one out of my mind!...maybe a 4 string![/quote]This really suprises me..Lakland are legendary for there good B strings... was way better a tighter than my Sei.... Strings really do make a difference to..

Great bass.. if i wanted a £500 ish 5 string this would be the one... i had one with Nordstrand pickups and a Glock preamp..it was killer... im thinking about getting another 55-01.. when it comes to build quality there easily as good as a bass worth 3 times as much...

Maybe try the new Aguilar 5 string pickups..ive heard good things..
