Fender had made a 5 with a high C and only 15 frets (to the high Eb of a Fender 4 string neck) in the mid 60s (from 1965-70). I can remember Tommy Roe's bassist in a Florida pickup band using one when we were doing an Oldies Revival concert in Tampa in 1982.
Fender Bass V - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alembic had offered 5 and 6 string basses with high tunings in the 70s when Jimmy "Flim" Johnson requested an Alembic 5 string and used a .120 GHS E string for a low B. This was in 1976.
Here's Jimmy playing it on a TV show:
Flim & the BB's - Tricycle - YouTube
Unfortunately it was stolen out of Alan Holdsworth's equipment truck on a tour, so if anyone has seen this bass and it's distinctive headstock, please let Jimmy know!

That is the worst looking Fender I've ever seen...

Hey Triad and others, since the ERB.com and subcontrabassist forums recently disappeared i am trying to direct former members (and anyone else) to regroup at the bass forum at sevenstring Invalid Link Removed in the hope that will become the new centre of ERB activity. Sevenstring is already THE place for ERG and there is a lot of common ground and interest in ERBs. It is a cool forum with a good vibe, knuckle_head of Circle K Strings and Knuckle Guitar Works drops in too.

Triad, i have been posting your basses here Invalid Link Removed

 

[Triad]

Thanx a lot for the kindest words... I'm extremely flattered for the comments about my instruments
I'll certainly register to the page

 

[James Hart]

in the hope that will become the new centre of ERB activity.

I just logged in... hadn't been there since 11-28-2008. I'll try to follow it some but TB is pretty much the centre of bass (ERB or otherwise) activity for me

[spade2you]

Speaking of extended range, put this on layaway. Wasn't cheap, but as soon as I work a bunch of overtime it's mine.

[mtb777]

Can I "borrow" that?

 

[scottfernandez]

Howdy, everybody! I know that I am INCREDIBLY late to the game in kicking it here.... I think I may have tried once before in the past but I'm not very smart so I gave up on this fancy internet stuff =)
My name is Scott Fernandez and I play Extended Range Basses and One Regular Range (kind of) Bass =)

[john turner]

What is that? An acoustic bass VI? Tic tac style E to E? It's beautiful, but the spacing scares me!

The KR acoustic I ordered a while back is getting finished soon.

Beautiful! What is the depth of the body (front to back)? That is really sharp looking ...
