I wanted a production-level J-bass-ish 5 string, and after realizing how much I love my CR-5, I thought, well, duh. So I sold my EBMM Sterling 5, scoured the internet, and found this in Los Angeles. A bit of text messaging, Paypal, and Fedex, and here she is.
So now I have low and medium tiers covered. Next up: a high-end, neck-through. That one'll take a bit more time and marital finessing. But for now, I'm there.
