Hi. My name is Sam. It has been six years since my last NBD ...
This is my first ever five and it already feels like home.

NBD: Kiesel Vanquish 5

- Start date
First time using it at band practice today. Only reached for the wrong string 10 or 12 times ... 
Thanks! They call it dragon burst. It's on mahogany, so a little darker than the usual alder.

I have an obsession for wood. The musical kind.

Took me maybe a week to start remembering that the E is actually the low-B. You'll be fine. I know I've rarely gone back to a 4 after my first 5.
Thanks! Yes, I've put my 4-string in its case in the closet, and I'm wondering if I'll ever take it out again ...

The only "tricky" part, long-term, is keeping the B quiet, so it doesn't ring/drone when playing higher strings. Just need to mute a little more.
and what a beautiful "home" you've got there! congratulations on your new instrument!This is my first ever five and it already feels like home.
Indeed! Luckily I've been working on floating thumb technique for a while now, and that helps a lot.
