Recommendations for lightweight 34" 5 string under £800

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Check out some G&L L2500's. Within your budget you could get a used USA model or a new Tribute. The latter are [b]great[/b] value IMO.

My favorite flavor I've got an OLP MM3, Peavey Foundation and Tobias Renegade that all fit the bill. You would have to by used of course.

Thanks for the suggestions so far

I will investigate these options.

Maybe have a look at the higher quality Corts - maybe the GB95 etc.

The Corts are nice, I've seen some very well made Corts, even the cheaper ones. Instead of looking for a particular model I'd get a list of workable models and then shop for a good example and a good price. A nice Peavey Grind could be under $200 and that would leave you with enough to snag 4 or 5 more basses for variety and backups.

Yamaha RBX 5A2 Cracking bass for the money. Last time i checked u could get them for under £300

I've got a nice Ibanez RD605 I could be persuaded to part with................
