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

Hey Simon I had this dilemma... From the research I did, it turned out hard to get the reunion blues dual bass case (in Europe) but it looks like the best one... I ended up buying the mono one and, being that it's also more expensive I find it to be the not quite good enough choice... It's true I haven't seen or tried the RB one but the mono one is disappointing... I have the single vertigo and I find that more convincing... That said I put it in the hold a few days ago and it all went ok... I think they have the dual RB at Anderson's tho

Okkkkkk!!!
