Acoustic 5 string basses,any suggestions ?

[weepaul]

I've thought about getting one for a wee bit of a change, and don't wanna spend mega money on it.
Anybody any experience with the likes of Ibanez,Dean,Aria....etc ?

Whats decent and whats to be avoided ?

Cheers.

If its only for mucking about then pick up something like a Harley Benton.

They're not the greatest bass in the world but they'll do for a noodle.

I never got on with Aria acoustic basses but the Ibby's are nice.

Yeah the Ibanez ones look sweet,may have a look on ebay and see if I score one.

This is my bass, which never sold. It's still available if you're interested and anywhere near Leeds.

I also had an Ibanez EWB 205, excelent bass, a handy buildt-in tuner, balanced XLR output, great playability and big phat sound. If i ever find myself in need for an accoustic that'll be the one i'll get.

Anybody played/owned an Aria AMB50 ? Found one online in my price range.
Anygood ? Or hold on to my hard earned ?

I really like my washburn acoustic, and they do a 5 string version, not really seen any about though, i got the 4 to see if i liked it, so a 5 is definately on the cards now.
