So like the title says, I got a bonus from work and I am looking to purchase a new bass. I want something that will stand out tonally from the basses that I already have (an Am pbass and a warwick corvette 5). I play mostly rock music (my band has 2 guitars) so something that can cut through...

::UPDATE:: So.... after reading the responses I took the b string out into the garage. I placed it on flat on the concrete floor and attacked it with a hammer. The string now fits perfectly. Thanks all for your help. You guys rock!

so.... no luck on the crimping. I'm attaching a picture so you guys can see what I am talking about. Do I really need to file the bridge?!?

aight thanks guys, ill crimp it. I didn't think it would be a problem since i got the 125's but i guess that is just a bit to big. And there is no getting it in there without crimping it lol.

So after trolling the forums the general consensus was that DR nickel low riders were the string of choice for warwicks. I excitedly ordered my set and when they came in I set off to string them up right away and it was all going according to plan right up until I got to the low "B" string...

I always wanted to make something for myself. I fell that getting the bass that one of my influences played was copying them a bit much.

I own a Corvette standard 5 string and it has quickly become my go to bass. While I do not personally own a corvette pro, Mr. Ed Freidland did a demo on the corvette pro and had only good things to say about it, going so far as to say that the koreans "quality control is as good as anyone." He...

German made warwicks win. For the $$ you won't find a better made, better sounding instrument.

sweet! thanks for the info guys, I'm mostly a pick player so I'll give some of those a shot and see what feels/sounds best. The ones on it at the moment just sounded kinda "nylon" ish and they aren't a coated string so i figured I'd see what you all thought. Thanks for the replies! :hyper:

Hey Guys, I am in the market for a new 5 string bass. I was wondering if anyone out there had spent some time with the Fernandes Tremor 5 Deluxe. How does it play? What is the tone like? How does it record? There are no stores locally that carry Fernandes so I haven't been able to get my...
