[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1491334857' post='3272259'] Interesting update from Yamaha, although Matt/satin finish? There's going to be a whole load of knackered looking Yamahas soon lol What didn't you like about the 55-01? Pickups/Pre presumably if you'd consider a 55-02? Would be nothing stopping you dropping humbucker and single-coil soapbars into a 55-01 to give you a 55-02 sound. I guess depends if you can find a nice one used, usually £450-550, leaves monies for your choice of pickup/pre upgrade Si [/quote] I found the 55-01 too tame I'm not one for upgrading lol, I don't have the know how

When are the new yamahas being released,? Anyone know

The yamaha looks great

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1491179518' post='3271058'] There's a lovely looking Ibanez BTB1605 for sale on a Facebook that I'm a member of. Selling for less than your budget too! [/quote] That's one I'm deffo considering

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1491197307' post='3271069'] My vote goes to a Lakland 55-01 or 55-02, depending what pickups you want. Si [/quote] I had a 55-01 in past,was ok but wasn't for me A 55-02 might be worth considering if a used one come up for sale,thanks

[quote name='Paulhauser' timestamp='1491209615' post='3271151'] Although it is at the top end (or maybe over) of your budget, I'd buy a used Spector Euro5. One of the best value modern sounding 5 strings out there. Also quite easy to flip if it turns out it is not your thing. [/quote] I've had one in past,another good bass but maybe over my budget

Well up to now I'm trying a bongo hs and a overwater fusion which are local

[quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1491211922' post='3271180'] If you liked the Sire V7, what about an M7? G. [/quote] Thanks yeah it's another to consider

[quote name='ba55i5t' timestamp='1491215712' post='3271217'] Ever consider a G&L L2500? [/quote] Yeah I've had a tribute l2500 in past,good bass

I will have up to £900 in a few weeks time to spend in a 5er,but which one lol I've had sire v7 and liked them but maybe fancy something different,I currently use a pbass 5ernbut looking for something active and more modern 5ers I'm interested in are-ibanez Btb 1605,g&l m2500 tribute,sire v7,overwater fusion 5 Really looking to spend up to £750 but up to £900 if something really catches my eye Any thought on other 5ers I've missed used or new Thanks jay
