  1. As the title says

    Have a 5 string 35" yamaha rbx775 and love it to death. 

    Wouldn't mind more low B clarity though and haven't won lotto recently so a 37 " Ding is off the table.

    Any experience and tips for better low B clarity?

    130 gauge B? Raise action? Raise pickups? EQ accordingly etc?

    What strings do you guys recommend for nice even tension?

    Thanks in advance 

    Michael

    And no pre amp or anything else will save such sh*te photography. But also, the strings align over the pick ups on real Bongos, and the pick ups do not have cut outs between the two upper screws like those. So is it a real Bongo at all? Anyway it’s certainly spreading disinformation…….the Bongo is a very well built and designed bass in terms of functionality and sound. 
     

    5 string Musicman basses have 17.5 mm string spacing - the strings are relatively close to the edge of the fretboard but this doesn’t trouble people who don’t have the sort of technique that involves grabbing the neck like it’s a club and pulling down on the strings thus pulling the G string over the edge of the frets - I’ve always wondered how people blessed with such technique manage to play the other strings pulled downwards in tune - perhaps they only thump the strings without any discernible note so it’s not noticeable 😂🥴

    My post had absolutely nothing to do with pulling off G strings off necks, merely their alignment with the pickups which to be fair is an issue on a lot of stingray 4s as well so maybe more forgiveable in a budget brand.

    The 4 is actually fine and will probably get one but I'll not offend @drTStingrayeyes with a photo.
