Very nice bass that's light weight and looks awesome ! The new 18v preamp is a nice upgrade and gives you plenty of headroom. Totally love this bass !
The 5 for me!

I've been performing and recording electric bass for 50 years and this bass is my 1st 5 string bass. But it is my 2nd MM stingray, my other being a 4 string from the 80's that sounds great, plays great, but is very heavy. Up until recently I've avoided extended range basses as a traditional style "fender 4 bassist" but I've also acknowledged the advantage to having a low B string… read more when working w/ keyboardists so I finally took the plunge, and am I glad I did. It's taken me the better part of a month of not playing anything else to begin to get used to this new string configuration but it's happening and I'm enjoying the process. So, about the bass; I pulled the trigger when I saw the advertised weight of 8.2 pounds, for a 5 string?!?!?! When I weighed it at home on my hanging digital scale it was 8.16. WOW. The new stingray special really is something special, 1) it's light 2) it's incredibly stable, I tune it about 1x a week and I practice every day, 3) the NECK! the new gunstock oil/wax finish is the best feeling neck I've ever played, the radius is perfect for it, and the maple board is nothing less than a racetrack. I've got one other bass who's neck I appreciate this much , a 1965 pre-cbs L series precision. 5) all of the aluminum hardware works perfectly and is gorgeous 6) it arrived w/ perfect fretwork and a perfectly cut nut. I ply w/ low action and this bass holds it; very minimal relief and 5/64" clearance at 17th fret on the B string. This stingray special is tight!
