    I did have a £7000 GUS G3. I now play a £200 Squier Protone Precision

    I've had a £7000 GUS G3 bass and now play (both secondhand) a £200 Squier ProTone Precision and a £500 Warwick Rockbass Streamer (both 5 strings). There is a difference but not 35 times the difference. If you are a pro then I understand getting top quality. For pub rock I can't see the point.

    I've gone from a £7000 GUS Active Retro (absolutely stunning in every way but I was afraid to take it out of the house) to a Chinese Warwick Streamer 5 (£400 - but I have replaced the internals with German Warwick MEC stuff) and a Korean Squier ProTone Precision 5 (£200). Very very happy with both and can't ever see the need for going for anything much more expensive.

    I bought this earlier this year from GAK (£479) as I was looking for something very light weight (which it is) but it's not getting used in the band I'm in so it's last in last out. I've played it twice at home for no more than 30 minutes. I put a set of DR Lowriders on (£30) but will include the D'Adarrio's it came with. I've also got the paperwork/tools it came with but I'm afraid there is no hard case, just an old gigbag. It's as light as a feather (so great for all those shoulder aches and pains) and it's the road worn version.

    I used to play Eggle guitars. By far the best on the market at the time, in my opinion. Got to sell my Ibanez Artcore 5 string first but have a bump on me

    I've just bought the Ibanez Artcore 5 string (the bashed up looking one). What a sound. Lush, gorgeous and so easy to play (and it's light). B string feels and sounds great too. Why didn't I go shortscale before?

He had just given Prince a guitar he made for him several years ago and only just managed to get it to him (it cost Simon about £9,000 to make). There's a photo of Prince playing it recently and he had commissioned a bass from Simon as well. This was Simon's big break (or not [/size][/font][/color]

    [size=4]I'm having to go for a light weight 5 string bass (neck/shoulder issues when playing) and like the look of the [color=#000000][font=Tahoma]Ibanez Artcore semi-hollow AGBV205A-TCL 5 String Bass. I like an average to loose tension string (I use DR Sunbeams usually) but I was wondering (as it's a 30.3 inch scale bass) what the best strings (half rounds, smooth feeling rounds or flats. I'm not a massive fan of barbed wire roundwounds) would be that would have some treble along with an old fashioned bass sound and also be good enough to have some definition on the B string (so it's not all muddy). [/font][/color][/size] [size=4][color=#000000][font=Tahoma]Any advice gratefully received[/font][/color][/size]

    [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Godin SD5 - 5 stringed bass with P and J pickups[/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Made in America. Bought a few months ago but only used for one rehearsal - only just over 9 lbs on my bathroom scales but my neck and shoulder just don't like even that light weight. Looks as new (even though it's a few years old) except a couple of minor dings only. No buckle rash. Villex passive mid-tone boost instead of tone control. Godin hard case included. This one was going to be a keeper but I need something lighter for the sake of my spine.[/font][/size]

    I've just gone over to 5 strings and play a Godin SD5 - absolutely love it. Neck doesn't feel much different to a 4 string but string spacing appears good as well (don't ask me how they do that). Bass Gear in Twyford have the latest version of this - http://www.bassgear.co.uk/product/godin-classic-shifter-5-trans-black-ma/ knocked down from £999 to £550 brand new.

    I did something a few years ago playing at the 4&20 Blackbird Festival in Weed, California (after first flying into Houston, then missing our connection to San Francisco and then almost crashing at SF when another plane taxied across our runway just as we were about to land. Going from 100 feet off the ground to a vertical climb in next to no time is an experience I don't want to do again in a hurry. Saw the bridge a second time though from the air). Jack Daniels seemed to be the thing that got us through. Especially if left in the car all day when it's 45 degrees C outside. Bit like a hot toddy but 10x stronger.
