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!
