Chris Horton Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 please recommend me 5 string basses around the £300 mark. hit me up with ideas ...... Quote
Mykesbass Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 2nd hand Cort, Ibanez or Yamaha. Cort GB75 should be in that price bracket and is a lovely bass. Quote
Woodinblack Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Ibanez 505 / 605 / 705 - lovely basses, especially if you like thin necks Quote
BassBus Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Cort Action V DLX. Mine cost me £250 new. Lovely neck and sounds good too. I don't think it has a real figured top though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86BKil3CEcc Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Schecter diamond series, if you can get them this side of the pond Quote
HowieBass Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Second hand Squier Deluxe Jazz V Active or a new Squier VM Precision V - these will be slightly wider string spacing than say an Ibanez. Quote
ras52 Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1441558451' post='2859809'] 2nd hand Cort, Ibanez or Yamaha. Cort GB75 should be in that price bracket and is a lovely bass. [/quote] +1. I have an Ibanez 705 (active, slim neck) which I bought s/h in that range, and a Yamaha BB425 (passive, wider neck), which I believe can be bought new for less that that! Quote
dannybuoy Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Yamaha BB415 / 425 / 425X, Squier Vintage Modified Jazz or Precision, or Sire Marcus Miller V7. Quote

alyctes Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 [quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1441569830' post='2859956'] Peavey Cirrus BXP. G. [/quote] Yes. Also, Hohner B Bass Pro 5, which I got from Geoff and will probably be up for sale soon. Quote
Rich Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 +1 to the Sire V7, and anything with 'Yamaha' on the headstock. Quote
