    Apart from Alembic, Warwick and ESP who makes Explorer basses?

    The Alembic and the Warwick are too expensive, and the ESP too boring, and pushing the pointiness limits.

    5 strings would be nice, as would good balance and tone.
    I'm in the UK, if that makes a difference.

    Anyone know of any?
    If so, thanks.
