Help me pick

[johans]

Hi guys

I will be ordering a new bass this month. I am looking for a 5 strong about $2500-3600 range. It has to have Buckeye Burl top, matching headstock. Several builders that I have look at at and have interest on are..

- Fbass BN-5
- Roscoe LG-3005
- Benavente SCA

any opinions?

thanks

You might also check out Skjold. He can build you something spectacular for not a lot of dough.

I've actually never played any of these, but as far as looks go, I'd say the Roscoe. Just a glance at one of those mgives me gas like crazy. Be sure to try them before you buy em!

Or Carey Nordstrand. I was checking out his site, and the prices for his four-stringers are quite reasonable.

Cellinder Jazz Bass or MTD 535/635 or Sadowsky NYC

The guys at Benavente are by far some of the nicest guys I have spoken to, and their basses are georgous!
