Try to find a used Marcus Miller signature 5 string. They go new for around....850 ish*

Or you could try a Roscoe Beck used, might be able to find one around 700.

Lakland Skyline 55-01

 

[larrytron]

What about Cort/Elrick Josh Paul or a Conklin Groove Tools 5???
These are great basses to slap! And they're great for fingerstyle!

Didn't think about that one.

Didn't think about these either.

I guess I just have Fender on the brain recently.

Go for a used Peavey Cirrus 5.

Trust me, you won´t be dissapointed.

Doesn't spector have notoriusly small string spacing?

 

[corrosivemind5]

how does this bass look

 

[dees]

yeah, the l2500 tribute would do just fine, great basses

 

[danman]

I agree with the g&l
You can probably get a used usa model for that kind of money.
My 2500 was 650 and it is the best bass I have ever played or layed my hands on. totally awesome slap tone with both pickups and the high booster.

i'm not so sure about that- in fact, if you see one. let me know and i'll snag it up- but you can find a used Am Deluxe Fender Jazz 5 for about $750-850- great slap bass- also , used Skylines... a used 55-01 or even better yet 55-02 shouldl do ya right

I have an SRX 505 for sale. This is from my thread in the for sale section:

FS: Ibanez SRX 505

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pictures later tonight...

Paid $505 (yeah, ha ha) for the bass alone

I will part with it for $400 including:
-Hardshell Case (has a good bit of wear and damage, but def. still usable)
-Gig Bag (perfect cond.)
-Monster Cable (perfect cond.)
-Padded strap (perfect cond.)
-Tuner (screen light does not work; has some external damge)
-Stand that is in the pictures

Bass has a bunch of scratches in one area where the neck meets the body on the treble side, but no where else. Has some swirls, but it is in good enough condition to sell new at GC .

It is strung with relatively new Rotosound Rounds, and set up today by me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------


About the sound. It is the highest output bass I have EVER encountered. It has an access of lows and highs that can easily be dailed in or out, so you can get about any aggressive slap sound you want. And with those rotosounds, they ring like bells when slapped!

Trust me, you won´t be dissapointed.

second that!!!!

 

[corrosivemind5]

AH I DONT KNOW GUYS....the cirrus looks so freakin incredible........but a little pricey....lakland looks like my best bet the 55-01 cud you tell me more about it?

 

[xcental34x]

Bartolini MK soapbars, 3 band eq preamp, pickup blend, active/passive pull volume, string thru body, ultralite tuners.

Its a Lakland. Great quality product. I bought mine three weeks ago as a graduation gift to myself, and I don't regret it at all. Great slap and pop sound. Very playable B string.

if he wants slap, a cirrus would be perfect. good thinkin'

 

[Chapbass]

yep yep. <3 the cirrus. Thats gonna be my next bass, and thats what i plan on using it for too (slap).

 

[embellisher]

If you can afford the Cirrus, they are slap machines.

If you can't, the Lakland 55-01 is a great slapper too. Especially with a maple fingerboard.
