Not what I personally use. But I would still recommend the Two Notes Opus, as a one unit amp + cab emulator/simulator.

Love this: But it is 28.6" scale length, and tuned to G# standard tuning, as in one half step bellow the upper 4 strings of a 6 string bass in regular B standard tuning, plus a high E string. I named it "Mr. Growly - The Noodlemancer", and it is my favorite bass at the moment.

I don't always play a 5 string, but when I do...

Why eat one bowl of cereal for breakfast when you can have two? Also why use a bowl half the size when you can get one that is double the size? What's up with that?

I suppose more in the spirit of this thread, it would be a 28.6" scale bass, with visual mods like these Ibanez Mikro Basses: Something involving matte black finish, and pickups with red covers, and some sort of ornamentation/figure on the body above the bridge.

Techno Safari of the Rasta Noodles? Also, how about: Stringless Basses Vs. 1 String Basses and Washtub Bass Vs. Sea Bass

I'd say picks make more sense with the narrower string spacing typically found on 5 string basses. Therefor the logical conclusion would be that if you don't play 5 string basses with a pick you are doing it wrong, and ought to have your fingers cut off as penalty for your vast stupidity. Also everyone knows that the hue of the Tort matches flat tone best, therefor everyone ought to only play flat notes on a Tort equipped bass. And hard to play Radioactivity like the record on a bass, Kraftwerk didn't utilize electric bass anywhere in their discography.

Was pick vs. fingers mentioned yet?

Yes, you are right, I am totally a troll, this discussion makes so much sense, and following is total BS:

It's pronounced Flauonscheer! It's a French onomatopoieticon. Fight me!

Extra high notes takes away from the bass range, now? So in you opinion all basses ought to be 5 string basses, tuned to B standard tuning, and with only 12 frets, or? Else it isn't a real bass? This discussion is absurd. Why can't people just accept that some prefer 4 string basses, other people again 5 string basses, some even 6, or even 12 strings, and it is all good. Non of them are lesser instruments, or less real basses. Is this and add for Scott's upcoming clickbait video: "Why 5 string basses crushes everything!"? In before we get "Why 4 string basses crushes everything!", and 6 string, and 2 sting, and 1 string, and 12 strings, and....

While the fretboard does appear more logical to me, I enjoy the narrower string spacing, and the extra range, of a 5 string bass, the 4 string just feels more at home to me, that and I like the idea of being limited to just 4 strings. Also 5 strings basses always look somewhat off to me,. And as someone has already pointed, but then what about 6 string basses, don't you think you are missing out, and that 5 string basses are kind of pointless compared to 6 string basses?

Project by Daniel Stavne and Jacob Læby (me). Mind these are demos, and the tracks are to be mixed and mastered professionally, and is going to be part of a full length album, to be released at some point in the future. Lyrics: Light Station The storm rages on, Your lighthouse stands in silent woe, Its light a mournful lonely song That speaks to ships that come and go. The sea, a writhing beast of gloom, Whispers dark secrets 'neath the foam, Where ancient terrors seek their tomb, Yet find in waves no final home. Upon the cliff, the tower high, A monolith of fate unknown, Bears witness to the starlit sky, Where eldritch stars and moons have shone. Its beam, a ghostly, pallid stare, Pierces through the veils of night, Guiding souls with none to care, Toward a doom devoid of light. The rocks below, where shadows creep, Echo with forgotten dread, The tides that wake from dreamless sleep, Are drawn by forces long since dead. And as the dawn begins to break, The light fades into ghostly mist, A fleeting glimpse for those who wake, Of realms that no man should exist. For in that light, so cold, so vast, Lies not salvation, but despair, A warning from the ancient past, To fear what lurks in open air.

Not a fan of this comment, but thanks for sharing.

So I tried it out, but was kind of disappointed that it didn't work for me. It did as advertised, but I thought it just didn't exactly fit for my use, like making everything sound a bit too rounded, and loosing clarity. And I planed on sending it back, to get my money back. However, for whatever reason, I let it stay, and just a couple of days ago filed it for a return with Thomann, and received a document so I could post it back without shipping costs yesterday. I planed on sending it back tomorrow. But then I decided to give it one last chance. Sounded much better than I remembered from the first time I tried it, but still made everything a bit too rounded for my taste. That is until I decided to try it out with my bridge J pickup, rather than my go to middle reverse orientation P pickup, and that actually sounded pretty great. Then I decided to see what it would do to my 5 string bass, which have just one J bridge pickup, wired directly to the output jack socket, and damn, it sounds absolutely gorgeous! Definitely not sending this back!
