Hi! In a few days a 5-string classic stingray, white with rosewood board will be available in my local store. I wonder if any of you out there have one and can give me some response of how they are. They are a bit expensive so before i decide i need every bit of review i can get :p...

Hi guys :) After reading all this post i guess i have to get a 55-01 :) It seems to be one of the best 5-er there is. Would love to have one in cherry sunburst, but i guess they don´t make them in that colour atm. Upgrade would be Nordstrand big singles and preamp if needed. Will try the...

Hi ! :) I have to say that Lakland 55-01 seems to be a very good 5-string bass. I know they were made in Korea at first, now in Indonesia. They are not very expensive and that makes me wonder. Are they worth buying or should i save up for something else ? I like the wide spacing, i...

Hi ! I have now spent some months now just trying to decide what 5:er i should buy. I have now come up with these two. Link Removed http://www.station-music.de/images/bass/instrumente/sad_uv70mw5owht.jpg I can´t afford both. They are different, they are, but what would be...to...

Hi ! Some say 35" basses are hard to play. Some say they have the best b-string. These basses are different animals as you will point out, but are they as good when it comes too the b-string ? Is it really that much better to have a 35" compared to a 34" ? I have found Yamaha...

Yes, i have a Fender P -75, bought new on my 15 th birthday...now, a few years later, it´s time to get another one :) And ofc price is not really the most important issue, it´s ofc how good the instrument are, easy to play and if it sounds great. Today when the economy seems to be crashing, one...

Thx guys for very interesting and informative thoughts :) We have Invalid Link Removed in Sweden. I will check out their gear also. They seem a bit like Alembic and also have their own jazzbass version. No decision yet, but your help have been very useful :)

Hi ! I have spent so much time thinking about what the best 5-string choice would be. I just can´t decide...yet... I can spend up too about 5000 usd. I have thought about Fender jazz V, EBMM Stingray, Sterling, Bongo V, Yamaha BB NE2, MTD 535, Lakland 55-94, Sadowsky Metro...

Thx guys !! Very informative, positive thoughts and one excellent Youtube video :) What a sound and what skills :)

Hi ! I wonder if anyone own a Yamaha BB NE2 and can give me some thoughts about playability and quality. I also wonder about stringspacing, i prefer 19 mm on a fivestring. Are Yamahabasses a good choice these days...have heard things that say they were better before ? Peace, Gröt...

Yes, i should try one out myself, of course, if one of the stores in Gothenburg, Sweden can get hold of one:)

I will read some of them...not all i guess :)

Yes, i find it very cheap, and just because of that i wonder if it´s...that...good ? But, they do make good instruments in Japan. I heard of another guy that the tone dies rather fast, maybe due to the thin neck and/or due to the badass bridge ?

Hi ! I know there are many that uses this bass. Can you recommend it ? Are the quality and sound good, even though the neck is as thin as it is ?

Thx guys for all good info ! Most grateful :)
