It has the ceramic driver from DB series Vs standard SL drivers.

Love my Aguilar rig. And they've just dropped these: http://www.aguilaramp.com/cabinet-series/sl-series-cabinets/ In 3 colourways... Partial to picking up one of the Chocolate brown or Fawn to save moving about the 12s for small practices.

Until recently all my 5 strings were high C, just what I prefer. I can vouch for the short scale Ibanez TMB35 that I've modded a bit and it's also E-C. I also have the EHB1005SMS short scale fanned fret thats worth looking at depending on budget, but a few floating around used at the moment. Both are Warwick Black label high C 5 string sets. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CEAh3S0HwdP/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Posted elsewhere on other threads...but here is a SB5000 I bought used from this forum a while ago. Love it. Always now keep an eye out for other SB Carvins as I love the shape.

Jamaladeen Tacuma on left and I think Al MacDowell on right. Another video of him with bass later on:

Sorry I don't have exact measurements but it was basically the width of the installed bartolini and just a fraction more as the gap between bridge and pickup. On the geb35 this was a custom dual coil nordstrand with coil tap from beepre

Exactly where it is on the ibanez GWB. I've had a number of them (and still regret selling the GWB1). Just the right amount of bridge burbling and nice tight defined sound.

Starting to be seen out in the wild... First: fretless EHB1005F-AOB https://www.ibanez.com/eu/news/detail/20221207141839.html 5 string EUB? More widely available black flat ehb1505ms? Some new SRs as is usually... No new prestige range (yet)?

Shame to see Patty go I have a TMB35 that I changed tuners for lower weight as found on here some used ones cheaper. And some Aguilar pickups but the work to route and new scratch plate would likely be too much normally but I thought what the hell. Easily my most played bass until I got the ehb1005sms (had a 1006ms and I have a 1005ms). If you can get a used Ibanez ehb short scale I'd say go for it.

Terrible audio but gives you an idea: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CT-OuivFTZ4/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= One example from the book to give you an idea: https://www.instagram.com/p/B501dZ-h2wL/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I was also going to mention the Tim Miller/Goodrich book too Creative Chordal Harmony for Guitar generic modal compression. I've worked through most of the book a few times and applied the shapes that could be played on 5 string and just chose a few favourites of both open and clusters that I both like the sound and don't cripple my hands playing. Thought it may be a bit out there as a choice but worth a look maybe.

I really play 5 with a high C. Never comped a singer though practise chords and voice leading quite a bit. My first influence for chords on bass was Oteil Burbridge and notice he has lots of new content cropping up. Haven't checked it out yet though Andres Rot is a good example of a bassist that comps a singer. He has loads of videos and a few instructional ones with Scott's Bass Lessons. Although if you know you're basic triads, inversions and how to harmonise typical modes/scales then you might not get much from them. https://instagram.com/andresrot?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Think Todd Johnson had some material on chords/comping but is mainly a 6 string player. Should be able to do most of it the same though.

I'd say so. https://store9362003.ecwid.com/Peavey-Millennium-4-Bass-p113758268

Thanks to @SumOne the sea foam family got bigger... I've had a EHB1506ms before and currently have the EHB1005sms but always wanted the EHB1005ms in sea foam obviously.

I was going to say Thaddeus. And Adam Blackstone. Whether he counts as session or not...but Gene Perez.

Looking to join or form a band after a few years hiatus (had 3 young kids...). Prefer the funkier side of things. Prefer funk like Lettuce, jazz like Wayne Krantz/Tim miler, acid jazz like Incognito/Jamiroquai, r&b/Gospel like Kirk Franklin, soul like Motown like...Motown, Latin like Irakere or world/African music like Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni ba but open to seeing what's out there. I've been playing on and off for 28 years. Did a few years of jazz at a conservatoire many years ago (don't hold it against me). Taught bass. Played in original and cover bands before. Good equipment. To set expectations in terms of commitment I really want to get playing in a band again but around family and work being realistic, that's an evening a week rehearsing and maybe a gig or two a month or so at weekends. I just can't do gigs every weekend, although I'd like to In Buckingham so open to a short drivable radius around here. www.bandmix.co.uk/mikeydbass/ I'm on Instagram as @fonkfingers

Carvin SB5000 with Poseidon Green SL112 & SL212 Aguilar cabs

A 5 string burner in green. Seafoam green like Hadrien's? I've been looking for a used one but convinced there are no others out there in that colour way. Or they never come up for sale at least.

Love those earlier 6ers with thin pickups.

More funk. Lamont Johnson from Detroit.

The pretty much essential upgrade for the Ibanez EHB basses as far as I'm concerned, black metal John East knobs.

After the work and new scratchplate it was more, but totally worth it for final outcome in my view. Plus it was cheaper than the $10k Fodera mini MG I dream about Doing this led me to realise I was sold on 5 string short scale format and now went for the 1005sms and really tempted to go Aguilar again for this bass too.
