Hi Plinio,

Here's what I found in the instrument file:

model name: Stanley Clarke Deluxe
model number: SCSB5
top: Indian Rosewood
accent: Maple
body: Mahogany
back: Indian Rosewood
neck: 7-piece Maple and Purpleheart
scale: 30.75
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals
pickups: AXY
controls: "Signature" volume, pan, filter x2, 2-position Q-switch x2, mono output
originally made for: Guitar Place, Brazil
birthday: March 25, 1996

Other notes show the bass was originally tuned B-E-A-D-G and that the peghead has the Stanley Clarke signature decal.

There is a fax (remember those?) from the original owner in Brazil registering the bass in 1996.

Now that's a really lovely 5 string shorty. Not something you see too often.

Hi there,
I can't found a good 5 string set for this bass. Short scale set is not available in my country, i try a long scale 5 string set but the B string feels a little "floppy", so i change to E A D G C what results a better playability with long scale strings.
I would like to use the B E A D G configuration, someone could recommend a good set for this bass?
Thanks
