    5-String, Active Pickup, under $600, suggestions?

    Stuck between 2 basses!!!! Ibanez and Schecter

    Just recently purchased a 5 string Schecter. I absolutely love it, it has quietly become my favorite bass to play over my Ibanez and Fender. Was really not expecting the quality that I received. Pick Schecter for sure.

    You opinion on a body shape ....

    I like it, but don't care for the pickguard. I also like the idea of moving that one edge about half of an inch.

    In the market for a 5 string, suggestions?

    Just bought my first 5 string and I decided on a Custom 5 from Schecter. I already had a 4 string Schecter so I knew they were quaity instruments. I absolutely love it, the action is incredible and the overall feel is very comfortable. Has a relatively wide range of tones. I would highly...
