thebuckets Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Humble bass in some of the company you list but try yammies new trbx range (not just cos im listing one!) Large range of sounds and a totally silent pre amp. 34 inch scale and the string spacing is ideal for your 80s slapfest Quote
jassbass Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Yeah yammys are good,my main bass is a yamaha bbne1. Quote
tauzero Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1415441111' post='2600306'] I like wide string spacing and 35 scale isnt the most comfortable for me as I have a metal plate in my left wrist and inhibits the movement a little.i had a euro 5 and that was worse for me [/quote] Isn't there a 33" Wood&Tronics 5-string in Basses for Sale at the moment? Lovely neck on those. Quote
Japhet Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I'm with Bubinga5 on this one. In that price range you won't beat a Lakland 55 01. Quote
dub_junkie Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1415441802' post='2600321'] If I was to buy anything else it would be a USA stingray, nothing else I've played compares to it, they play and sound amazing. The USA 5's have a little more tonal variety too with the coil tap switch. What sort of music are you playing?? [/quote] this is all true. Fantastic fat tone that sits perfectly in a mix with even speak across the board. A pro workhorse bass imo and I would without second thought, buy an SR5 irrespective of the music genre to be played. I have owned a few SR5's in the past and would buy another if I ever decide to go back to playing a five again. Quote
bubinga5 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1415473788' post='2600775'] I tried a 55-14 and I have played a 55-94 and a 55-02 a few times they are great basses but they cant do Stingray as well I a Stingray, almost but no cigar. Lovely well built work horse one bass for every occasion though. [/quote]true..not quite there.. but they will do lots of things that a StingRay can't. i would love another SR5 though.

Conan Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1415600406' post='2601780'] Im going for a carvin xb75p. [/quote] Yay! Good to know that my old bass is heading back to the North East! Quote
