I just hate black basses. I already got 2 others and a 3rd thats in pieces. I only own 1 non-black bass.
I saw the bat signal go up and here I am! thats only 45 minutes away! dude I drove to macon this morning and back this afternoon, passing statesboro twice....I am also off for the next two days...and I have the money....BUT I cant play 4's to save my life man, just can't go back. really bummed to hear about your situation though. I know someone will get a killer bass!
The Bluemoon is calling you and drawing you within it's grasp already. It's powers are similar to the Mothman, which is why I had to act quickly! Take heart, and remember all the greats only needed 4...for you have been chosen
Funk factor got me hooked on these so its his fault I bought all of these. P.S. But I still love my MM's best.
Clockwise 1995 ATK305,ATK750 Koa,ATK700QM,ATK700BM

Wow... awesome QUINTET of ATKs! Quite the selection... including a sweet rarity as well... the Rosewood Board Bunker Beast : )
I've only got 2... so far...
The only way I got that many is they are still so cheap.The Bunker neck was as much as what I paid for each ATK.
Bassman and I .. abuse .. the same luthier, so I got a chance to play his Bunker'd ATK immediately after he got it put together.
None of the issues I was experiencing with my neck were present in that or the Musicman neck he had built...our set ups are damned near identical
The double dot rosewood board was sweet as hell.
The difference in tone in the Bunker necks is pretty apparent...much more lively sounding.
I didn't get a chance to ship mine back for replacement until this past Wednesday, but I have faith that it will get squared away after playing his.

Yeah Funkfactor and I drive Dave at Level Frets crazy because we are constantly trying to get that edge and man he can do it.On Funkfactors neck it sucked because if I would have gone with the maple I would have picked the same one.The neck looked awesome but had issues and I hope Dave Bunker will sort it out which talking to him I think he will.Funkfactor is right ,you can tell such a huge difference in tone with the Bunker.It is one of the best upgrades I have ever done on a bass.
Hey Guys, Sorry for the delay in Numbers. I just got back from a weeks vacation and there's really no internet service to speak of up there. So, without further ado,

Been eyeing the 5er World lately, so when a good friend recently gave me a 5 string set of Elixer nano's (has working pro deal with them), strung my 750 Koa BEAD.
It's like Ibanez designed the 750 to naturally take this string set up. Nut fit everything perfectly, B through bridge, the rest through body. B's not too floppy, but not perfect. Happy with this experiment. Tips from others who've done this?
Makes a great taste of the 5er world. Don't seem to miss the G, but think actually getting a 5er would be the trick. Looking at a G&L 2500 Tribute or an Aria IGB Exo5 for this... or just a good ol' 305. But just don't think I need a 6th bass....

If you can't afford a new bass and you aren't missing the G string, then go with what you have.
However, I'd be inclined to have someone with some skills look at your nut. The fact that it has a nut slot big enough for a low B string does not inspire confidence. A good nut might be all it takes to make your low B feel less sloppy, too.
