IYKYK

Having owned the 500 combo, and being a current owner of the 200 combo and the 800 head, I’m inclined to believe the muddiness is mostly a function of the cab and/or speakers. The 800 head through my Bergantino 212 cab is far clearer than either of the combo versions.

Whatever the reason might be, I tend to agree.

It is!

A great bass that has been made somewhat redundant in my collection by other purchases! 2020 model in great shape - some finish swirling and small marks on the body and pickguard that are basically impossible to photograph. Nice low setup. I have shielded the J pickup cavity. Weight is 8.75 lbs...

Purchased new from Sweetwater about two months ago. I think I've played it about 4-5 times since then - enough to reiterate that (try though I might!) I'm just not a short scale guy. So - new/nearly new condition. Weight 8.5 lbs. Asking $900 + actual shipping to your location (I quote using...

It’s right around the 10 lb mark, if memory serves.

Picked this up from another TB member last year, and it’s just not getting the use it deserves. It’s in great condition and is set up very well - just a wonderful player all the way around. Includes original padded gig bag. Asking $500 + actual shipping to your location - PM me for a quote...

Indeed. Interestingly, it’s also been my experience that 5s tend to have more even response on the D and G strings, and rarely have the 7th-9th fret “dead zone” that 4s often have. As always, YMMV.

I’ve owned and played plenty of “good” 5s from multiple manufacturers. My experience remains consistent across brands, price points, etc.

That's interesting. I find it's almost always the opposite. I've rarely played a 5 that I thought had an E string that was as solid as a comparable 4.

Singles. To the best of my knowledge Lollar only does split coils on their 4-string jazz pickups.

Nearly new with full length leads. Had them installed briefly. Includes original packaging and hardware. Price includes CONUS shipping via PP/Venmo F&F (add 3% for standard payment). Will consider trades for the following: John East J-Retro Deluxe preamp Fralin or Barden 4 or 5 string J...

Nordstrand 2B preamp with 2 volume pots (one push-pull for passive operation), a treble/bass stack pot, and output jack. Works great and sounds fantastic! Was installed in a bass with a battery compartment, so there is no battery terminal. Price includes CONUS shipping; Venmo/PP F&F, please.
