I believe that whatever I can't play on a 4 string bass needs to be investigated by me." I'm glad Jeff has come over to my way of thinking....!

BigRedX Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Indeed. Why not just 1? [IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/BigRedX/Bass/AtlansiaSolitaireFretless.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Vested interests perhaps......? Also you'd never need to balance the outputs on a 1 string bass either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_Bass Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I don't understand some people's scepticism towards 5-strings and the false assumption that it's harder to play a 5er. In fact it makes things a lot easier and a lot less travelling up and down the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No lust in Jazz Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 But isn't this just the Cort JB Bass (nice bass BTW) with an extra string? I'd be surprised to see JB playing one, I'd preferred that he'd discovered a 5th string than the chorus pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 [attachment=186309:Rithimic_hz.png] Meant to say that the 5 string is a bit less marmite than the 4.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Jeff Berlin's opinion aside...this looks like a seriously good instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1426284266' post='2716687'] Jeff Berlin always strikes me as a reasonable, pleasant and emotionally well-rounded person eager to entertain the beliefs and opinions of others.

Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 If the fiver is in the same league as the four string I tried at the LBGS it will be something very special indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierreganseman Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 the 4 is a top top top instrument, just looks so horrible.... this is cool looking though ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
