This thing is on fire! It's been making me play better night by night

Yeah… I had a reluctant NBD some months ago as I bought a Sire P5 for an upcoming tour… I had never played a 5 string before so I bought the Sire to get my shit together. I went cheap because : A. I wasn’t sure I’d want to play one after (used to be stupidly anti-5-string for reason’s i now cannot comprehend) and B. wasn’t sure the tracks from the album that were played on 5 string would be in the setlist... So here we are, 6/7 months later… I’ve been playing the 5 string tracks on the tour and I love playing 5 string. Makes total sense to me. Sold my Sire P5 to a friend that was on the market for a good deal and found myself in a beautiful setting at Bass Budda in Aarhus, Denmark yesterday trying all the 5 strings. I can’t recommend visiting Morten at Bass Budda enough if you’re ever there. My most enjoyable bass shopping experience ever! Here’s my new axe then. So happy with it, it’s high end, particular, gorgeous, rowdy, light and full of character. We’ve been getting on like a house on fire, all night long A couple of short clips here if you’re interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT7jqRgalYI&list=PLP9ULvzEKH65apzKw4jibInwHdlbLjF7i

Looking for a lightweight 5 string Was in Glasgow at Merchant City Music a few days ago, i had been convinced i’d go for a Mercalli 5 but somehow i didn’t take to it. They had an amazing sounding 4 string one but the 5... i donno… so i’m looking for other options... Weight is important, tone shaping capacity is important (no need to go crazy with the preamp but multiple pickups yes) I’m looking at Thomann as i’m based in Europe… i heard good things bout Sadowsky for tone and weight… anyone tried these? Was thinking to order 2 or 3 different basses so i can chose and send back the ones i don’t want. My budget is in and around £1200 Thank you! DDR

For anyone interested, apparently they just ran out or got sent the wrong stickers so V2 is the WBIM version

Excited to say I just bought tre Sushi Box Finally V2!

Anyone tried their bass on the Finally (non WBIM) version? Huge difference?

Definitely getting some gas for that one, however, it's a half U rack size no? I need a pedalboard friendly thing unfortunately, otherwise I might as well bring the rooster...

Sounds like the one, will check thanks!

I just want a super good portable di that doesn't cost 2k ... I'll check that and the shootout ... Ideally I'd have the rooster or the noble

Interesting 🤔

Yeah I know... Thing is I need something "good" and portable that doesn't cost 2k. I would go with the noble if it wasn't that price... I'm sure it was 1k a year or so ago...

Hellow So need a great portable pre to take to recordings. In my studio I use a valve pre by thermionic culture called The Rooster which is amazing but it's not portable most of the time. So... Looking about... The Noble pre seems to have gone up by 1K since the last time I looked.... The jf Capo seems like the one... 20 weeks wait though.... Is it worth it? Let me know what you think Thanks in advance D

lil update My P5 has been behaving well in rehearsals so far and i’ve been getting comfortable with the extra string, in fact, i’ve been missing the opportunity to play in the lower Db register when playing my 4s for example… The only issue i’m having with this bass is the weight… however -- the tour i’m doing includes heading up to Glasgow and there’s a Mercalli 5 in stock at the Guitar store… i’m gonna pay them a visit do a lill comparison… whom knows i may resist depending on how that goes
