I currently have a Yamaha TRB 1005 and I am looking to get a new 5 string very soon. I am pretty set on a MM Stingray 5 which i played this week, I was blown away by the way they play and sound. I was wondering if there are any other basses that I should try in the same price range (£1000 - £1500) before I commit to buying, but more importantly, where I can get a chance to test them. I am based in Leeds and in my experience it is difficult to come across basses in this price range, so I am willing to travel to a more specialist bass shop. A few that have caught my eye include Overwater aspiration Deluxe 5 and the G&L L2500. I mainly play rock, metal and a bit of funk, I am not gigging at the moment but might be in the future.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
