Yes - it is a rock legend already
| Sound |
The SR5 is already becoming a hard rock legend as far as bass goes. 34" scale on this 5'er, but I had to check that. I read it plays like a 35 scale, but I thought it was. I checked EBMM site and it is a 34" scale. My SR5 has one humbucking pickup, active preamp, I get a huge variation in tone from the preamp and pickup selector switch. This bass tends to cut through well in the rock environment easily, I have not played it in any other style of music yet, but it has a nice full tone that I can play with. I play this through my audio interface for recording but mostly live I use an ashdown head into a 2x10 cabs, plenty of thump and rumble.

| Action, Fit, & Finish |
I got mine used, I can report on the oil finished neck feels perfect, no stick and not too thin.

| Reliability & Durability |
I do not need a backup with this bass, I bring spare strings and a 9 volt battery to a gig, but that's it. The finish is tough, I've banged it around a few times and have had no issues, and it looks great, I have a trans teal finish on mine. Neck it attached with 6 neck screws rather than 4.

I never had to deal with them other than to ask them the age of my bass, and they answered me promptly
