Hi there TB! Greetings from Patagonia Argentina and sorry for the long read.
I'm in the search for a new bass and these time i want to try (again) a 5 string.
My budget narrows the options to the following:
Sterling Ray35(red burst maple neck used)
Cort GB5 Custom(used)
Schecter Stiletto Studio 5(the black trans used)
Maybe could reach for a Stiletto Stage 5(new) too if my credit card lets me!
The impossibility to try ANY of these basses makes even more difficult to decide. With the research almost finished...i'm completely hesitant.
Jazz basses are out of question. Maybe a Yamaha BB could fit in, but i've narrowed those options mainly beacause of tone. The only basses i tried were a Stiletto Extreme 5 and a Squier Jazz Special 5(?active, ebonol fboard).
A little background: I currently have a Tribute L2000 which i'm in love with. I'd buy a L2500 tribute too, but it is a bit pricey here, even used. Recently sold my second Squier CV Precision and briefly had a Jackson Eliminator 5(awful neck).
Thanks in advance!
