CHRISDABASS Posted February 12, 2011 Author Posted February 12, 2011 Thanks for the offer mate, i'd prefer a jazz or P/J style 5 though
fretmeister Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Just tune the big al BEAD instead. I don't do 5 strings so that is what I do.
Shonks Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 dont trade!!! just buy a decent workhorse bass that plays brilliantly and sounds as wicked as any of the boutique copies!!! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=120513"]surely you can afford this and keep the MM too!![/url]
Musicman20 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Man don't do it! Have you seen the retail on these now?! Shot up to nearly £2k plus yours is sunburst.

I play in a function band and a 5 would be useful for probably no more than 10% of the set. I'd go a cheapy and keep the big Al

Enough to buy me a used sadowsky 5 string?? Lol By the way the big al is in as new condition, never gigged and comes with original fitted hard case etc
Toasted Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Do you really need those 4 extra notes? There's a perfectly good B on the E string
