Post Your 5+ stringed Workhorse

[JoeVictim]

With so much love for 4 bangers, let's give some love to the people who lay down the low with more than Jaco needed. I am talking about the bar gigs, concert venues, studio work, whatev. Closet basses need not apply.





(secret agenda, I want a 5 string )

Here you go...Lakland Classic 55. My warhorse since 1997.

Ok, I'll go.

My #1 fretted and fretless 5-string workhorses:

 

[TolerancEJ]

1992 Soundgear SR885 w/ Padauk finish - 18 years old & still sounds great!

 

[The_Robster]

Here she is, My Big Al5 can deliver any tone you so desire!

 

[DiscoStu65]

Fernandes Tremor Deluxe

 

[Lumpy_Bass]

here is my "workhorse in the making" My first 5'er a 2002 Fender Standard Jazz V. Used it exclusively on my Thursday and Saturday hits last week and I for see using it exclusively for many more. I can't believe I stayed away from 5's for so long!

How are the pickups in that bass? Thinking about buying MIM pickups to put in my squier jazz V

2000 USA Millennium 5plus.
Bought it new towards the end of 2000. Has been my main bass since the day I brought it home and the only bass I own for around 6 - 7 years now.

They are OK. I am sure like any stock item they could be improved. They are definitely not as hot as the PUP's in my 2008 4string Jazz, but those have the raised pole pieces on the A and D string plus they are., well a lot newer. I run my signal through a Hartke VXL Pre-amp box and compressor so it's not really an issue. I've never played the Squier V PUP's to side by side it either. Do you find issue with the tone of the Squier PUPS or the level. I will say they definitely still produce the unmistakable Fender Jazz growl and/or scoop.
