Andrew, I have a feeling you'll end up with a SR5. They truly are fantastic fivers.


Mine is still available on reverb.com if you're interested! Only 400 and in great condition!


I'm not seeing it.

I'm seeing it. But you're not talking about the same type of instrument ;)

That's what happens when we use all kind of acronyms. SR5 stands usually for Musicman Stingray 5

Here are my two lefty 5-strings.

This one was custom built with a local luthier about 20-years ago. it's a 32" scale with Bartolini pickups that I removed the active electronics for & just run passive. The body is mahogany with strips of white oak, and the neck is maple & walnut with an ebony fingerboard.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I picked up this Brice from Rondo music earlier this year, as it was the only 30" scale left 5-string available without custom ordering something. It's also very cheap, at $401 shipped with a hard-shell case. It's not high-quality, but after a decent setup it plays nice. The tone isn't bad, but I don't care much for active electronics. I've considered upgrading the pickups to something passive, but I usually have enough fuzz that I don't really notice. :P
