Sorry for delay in responding. I switched course and purchased Ibanez grooveline and it was great bass but couldn’t get action right . Fought with seller on reverb and he agreed to return . I just ordered Warwick corvette standard 5string from sweetwater . Reg price 3340 it was dent and scratch my price $2200
Gotta try the Edge Pro 5 string sometime. I think you would have saved yourself from a hassle and definitely saved some coin.
German Warwick's are nice though.
Already had Dean edge pro 4 and neck had slight bow in it… also didn’t like bridge … other than that it was great bass for slap . Had lotta bite when I cranked up amp . However sweetwater made me offer I can’t refuse on GPS corvette standard 5 . At my age this might be my last bass purchase so I’m gonna make it a bass that’s a keeper … has return policy and 36 month payment plan and 2yr warranty . Keep jammin
Funny... We're getting to the point in our lives where we're thinking , this could be my last purchase, better make it a good one...
Ain't no spring chickens any more!!
correct lol . Not to mention switching to class D amps and lightweight speakers . I ain’t lugging 120LB cabs anymore…. That ain’t happening lol
There's a thread topic heading...
Old farts and their class D amps!!
When I get home I can post a catalog page.
Edge Pro’s changed in either 2018 or 2019 from neck thru to bolt-on.
A quick look at previous posts in this thread indicates that the Edge 1 5 string and Edge 4 5 string are both 35”.
The catalog shows an Edge Pro 4 string as 34” and only states that the Edge Pro is also available in 5 string without providing scale length. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it is 35” scale.
@2many should be able to verify this.

I don't care if I sound like I am a novice. Tell me how to check/tell.
I have fiddled with it a good 20 times, but my main squeases for the last 15 years have been the razors and rhapsodys

Just measure from the nut to the 12th fret and multiply by 2
or
measure from the nut to the bridge saddles...preferably the center one (A).
[edit] beat me to it!
Cha-ching! 35" scale, beautiful, I think I'm going to go ahead and snag one of these that's for sale. I was a huge spector guy but cant deal with their reach. these look to have better reach since the horn reaches the 12th fret.
a pair of 35" scale EMGs, neck through and 3 band EQ? sounds pretty good to me
Many thanks for confirming this for me.
If you really like Spector, see if you can find a Dean Edge Select Model (Select, Improv, Custom) from 1999 to 2001. They were made in the same factory in Czech Republic as Spector back then.Cha-ching! 35" scale, beautiful, I think I'm going to go ahead and snag one of these that's for sale.

Dean Edge Select Models made in Czech Republic
The MIK Edge Pro came about to replace the Czech made Edge Select Models.

Yea that was my first choice, saw Rodney McGs video on them back when I was in full Spector throttle. but there don’t seem to be any in the market.
just ordered this MIK Edge Pro 5 for 400 bucks! the same shop has a tiger eye version for the same price if anyone has been searching.
Thanks for the help guys
, I’ll report back with some thoughts when it comes in!
Hope it meets your expectations. I am of the opinion that they are very underrated.Yea that was my first choice, saw Rodney McGs video on them back when I was in full Spector throttle. but there don’t seem to be any in the market.

The nut on my Black n Maple Custom Zone always bothered me, especially the treble side.
Just cut way too close to the edge of the FB. Same with the bass side cut, but not quite as bad.
TUSQ: a synthetic simulation of "bone" or "ivory" used on all Taylor nuts and saddles; Taylor started using Tusq on all but the 400 models in September, 1993, and switched to Tusq on the 400s in January, 1995; previously, our nuts and saddles were made of "micarta," which is a fancy name for an ivory-colored synthetic material called "phenolic". (hey, if Taylor thinks its the bees knees...)
Took it to a local music shop who is also a Dean Dealer who also does setups.
Asked for a black tusq nut as I thought it would look better.
We'll see what happens.
