5 or 6 String Paddle ?

Hi,
after aquiring an old Washburn Bantam paddle,
i've developped a taste for this form of bass.
The Bantam is a bit on the weak side when it gets in the lower frequencies and the sound is not that rich, plus it has 4 Strings
and i much prefer 5 or 6 strings.

I understand that the Steinberger XL-5W would fit my needs,
but they are hard to come by and quite expensive.

Are there any other brands that sell (or have, in the 80s)
Paddles with 5 or 6 strings, active electronics and
maybe even made from graphite or other non-wood materials?

 

Luckily it's nothing pressing. I've got the Bantam whenever i feel like a paddle and i've got my fivestrings whenever i need the sound. . . just regular GAS.
Did Status ever build a paddle?
