I still have mine, but it's had the snot beaten out of it, as the previous owner told me it had over a million air miles on it. Still have my XL2 I bought new.

This sounds bad to you? FWIW, I have ab A6 and several other Mk1 equipped basses.

So swap them out for what you want if the rest of the bass does it for you. Personally, I have lusted after the 1006 since I first saw/heard one.

Agreed. I have a 370 and a 375 and they're awesome. like @horrorshowbass I'm also a fan of the Powerspans and was almost convinced to change them out at one point, but these days I see no need at all. I'd like a white 305 but they weren't available in the Colonies. I keep threatening to take the brown 256B back to bare wood and refinish it white, but that's a lot of work and I'm a lazy sod, especially as the brown isn't wearing.

What's MAD?

Double post, sorry.

That bass, headless would be a piece of kit I think I could love. Can't afford it though.

Ugly PG, a really stupid design choice on such a modern style bass.

But for best results, ensure it has a low impedance ground.

That's like being offered to go out to any great restaurant in your city and opting for Subway.

Having done a substantial amount of DBT/ABX testing of audio gear, I'm not surprised at all. And speakers being transducers, are far less linear than the majority of amplifiers.

WRT instrument tonalities, there's a considerable amount of knob pulling.

Sweet. I've always wanted to try an M2500. Love the colour too.

It's called preventative maintenance and being prepared. Or in 2 words; being professional.

This, and the low output impedance of the pre vs a passive. Below is a list of all the times that a battery has failed at any inconvenient time since I got my first active bass in 83. .

My SS Jag was very neck heavy due to the huge, long scale sized headstock and those depleted uranium tuners. It also sounded meh. Lasted a week before I swapped it for another 4 string. I agree the LS will have even worse balance.

All the reviews have been pretty consistently good, not even because it's inexpensive. I thought about getting one, even though it's an FSO, but I really don't need another 6.

This. With a pivot plate/boomerang.

From the Fender site: 6-saddle bass bridge, 17mm string spacing

It's 17mm. The A6 or a BTB, also 17mm, were going to be my suggestions. I'm sorry, but says who?

Lovely bass, enjoy. There's one of these just a little too far away from me to drive to (1600km round), but it does look nice. I need another SR 5 (or 6) like a need a hole in the head.

I'm tempted, but see nothing it adds to the other 6s I own beyond novelty. It's cheap enough but has the drawbacks of FSO aesthetics and ergonomics.

I have zero idea what you mean by this. Care to articulate including which HB?

I saw one listed om ebay out of Japan a while back, so I know of it, but never seen one in the flesh. Nice bass. https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/SRMS5 Info for anyone curious.

Awesome, may it be as wonderful as you hope. Not that I'd be complaining in your shoes, but I'd personally love it if the NT was visible from the front like my Cort A5 Ultra Ash or my former Alembics.
