For those who wanted to hear a clip, here is a quick and dirty comparison. Logic drum track, Monique straight into a Saffire interface. First riff is neck pup (dual coil), second is bridge pup (dual coil), third is 50/50 (single coil). Nothing fancy. EQ flat on the basses, running active, passive tone about 75% open. Strings on the M5 are much older than the M4, but both are Fodera nickel 40-100. No compression or effects.

I'm bad at these things. But sounds to me like the M5 is a little more "present" if that makes sense. More midrange, too. In any case, I like the sound of both of them. Nice intonation, too, for an unlined board!

I hear the bite on the M4 from the neck joint easily. I think I prefer the smoother m5 tone, however, but they both a great with lots of growl and mwah.

 

[Baird6869]

This one comes in Jan.....

This one comes in Sept....

Quilted Maple is such a classic wood I never get tired of looking at it, especially the 5a variety.Great choice Widajajar,can't wait to see her in the newborn section.

Thanks, yes redwood. Non-solid on this one, but the pup covers are redwood and the ramp is brw. ~3 months away!

haven't you talked of getting a Bolt- On ? Or wait... you have two basses on order right ?

M5 for me !!

Btw. I'd love to have a high C on my fretless Emperor too

 

[tombowlus]

My favorite color combination as well.

Nice!

Yes, exactly. The redwood 5 in January and then a bolt on mid next year. I'm still tossing around the bolt on specs, but I'd like to get a great slapper and limit it to around 10 lbs. Definitely going single coil and lately I've even been debating 4/5 string. Help!!! Input always appreciated...

 

[Damian Coccio]

Got the files mixed up = great blind taste test. but it was m4 for me. Could be strings...

for a short moment I thought that you get an Imperial bolt-on ....sth. I would want to have IF they would FINALLY bringt that out ....

I limited my Bolt-On 5 down to 10 lbs. - it worked GREAT
