    5 string vs 6 string bass ... help needed

    I've never found the SR necks that thin, the 4 & 5 versions are narrow but not thin, 6 isn't narrow or thin.

    5 string vs 6 string bass ... help needed

    Still a big neck compared to a 5 string.

    NBD: Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass V

    Mine had the same issue with the G tuner, not a big deal but it's gone now anyway ( couldn't deal with the pickups & neck dive ) but I see these have gone up in price again, paid £364 for mine which was a bargin but now they're up to £455.

    Warwick is releasing a Bootsy Collins Signature bass!

    I'll be surprised if they sell 4.

    Favorite neck profile

    4 string I like 7.25" / 1.75" , with a 5 string I really like the LTD necks 15.74" / 1.85"

    Ever buy a bass you've never played?

    I bought my B-1005 without playing it, bought it more based on the specs rather than looks, extremely happy with it.

    Lightest 4-string?

    My old Squier Jazz 77 was 7.2lbs, Sweetwater have one under 7lbs http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/JBass77Blk/snICS13231538

    Do you take your valuable basses to gigs?

    :rolleyes: I'm saying playing in a jazz club or church isn't going to inflict the same amount of wear & tear on a bass.

    Do you take your valuable basses to gigs?

    I wouldn't gig a 15k bass for the gigs we do, I'd hate to see it getting all the wear & tear my basses get, it would be different if it was jazz or church music. Nobodies going to steal me or knock me over or spill beer on me (well maybe the last one).

    Just how thick is the Fender Steve Harris neck?

    It's thicker than a Stingray but I never found it an issue, if anything I found the SH more comfortable to play.

    Bent neck from hanging on the wall?

    I'd say they're ESP LTD, even dealers call them that for example http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SURVEYOR5MBLK/

    Trade questions

    I know they're good basses, I had a white one but Sam Ash were doing B stock models for just over $320 before christmas http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/bstock-opinions-please-1037661/ going to hurt the used market.

    Trade questions

    Doesn't seem a very good deal to me, a used MIM P is worth more than a Epi Thunderbird imo,
