I received my prog 5 just a couple of months before covid, and only got to gig it a few times, but loved it.
I keep thinking about selling it as it's looking more and more like my gigging days are coming to a close. But everyt time I pick it up and think about selling, I plug it in and say hell no. I can't bring myself to do it.

I take my 4 string Original to every gig, and its usually the only bass played.

I'm eyeballing a Prog 4 right now. The main and only hesitation is the lack of a quick way to drop the E to a D. All my 4 strings have Hipshot D-Tuners and I use the snot out of them. I detune on the fly often and want to know how hard is it to detune on the fly?
1/4 turn?
1/2 half turn?
Full turn?

TIA!

No idea. I haven't ever had a need for that.

Aside from that, I'm strongly considering selling my J-Bass. This is in the same tonal family. Loving it.

Picked up my Boden Prog 5 in February 2021. This is at a festival in September. Running through my Aguilar TH500 it's just plain amazing! The soundman said it's absolutely the best bass tone he's ever heard and was a pleasure to mix. I absolutely love the tone and playability. Looks amazing too!

Ordered my Prog 5 last month -- can't wait to try it but they are quite back-ordered.

Look forward to your take on it! Super cool bass!

I am very intrigued by their basses and guitars. I will head down to Music Zoo to sample them when/if they ever open the showroom again.
