Teddy_Hitch Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hey guys, I currently have usa precision but I really want a 5 string bass. I tired out an SR505 in my local and I reli liked it, but the wood on the body annoyed me cause it was already chipping away. I really like the look of the SR705 and was just wondering if its a good one to go for and if it sounds like the 505 a tall? I reli like the SR535 but I can't seem to find one in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geilerbass Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Oooo... that SR535 looks nice. Though I prefer the Wenge/Bubinga neck of the 505. I reckon the SR705 should sound pretty similar to the SR505, since it has the same pickups and preamp and the bulk of the body is mahogany. Though it won't sound exactly the same, since the neck is different and the body is composite rather than being solid, like the 505. You might be able to order in the 535 from somewhere in the US or even Japan - exchange rates are still pretty favourable, so you could end up with a bargain. But then again, it could just be a load of hassle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
