JF, you stop with those silly pictures. Way too sexual for anything on these forums. Goodness gracious lerd almighty, that bass is so gorgeous. What strings are you running? D'Addario...?

Every time I see your bass it makes me want to try EMGs......................

A) that is a beautiful top on that bass.

B) the bridge is farther up than mine (35" scale, 24 fret). Is that how they make it a 34" scale? If the overall length of the bass is the same, how does it make it easier to play? Or is it about string tension?

Sorry about the crappy iPad pic...
 
Hi Folks,

I've been jonesing for a 5-string Quantum since the 1990s and am starting to think about making that happen despite the high prices. (I currently have and love an old bassstar). The thing is, I could never get over the narrower 5-string spacing (compared with 4).

I'm wondering if the experts here can tell me when they starting making 5-strings with the 19mm spacing between strings at the bridge vs the smaller 17mm. I know newer Quantums seem to have this, but is there an exact cutoff date? Thank you.

The narrow string spacing is the standard string spacing for the Quantums, the wider spacing was an option. There are a good grab of them out there, for exactly the reasons you want one. Just keep on the lookout, and we folks here will for you as well!
