Great basses you don't click with

I'm lucky to have some good Basses, so the 'bic won't be missed. I would like to try an inexpensive 5-string, with a high 'C', to play Solo parts on some song's I'm recording.

What would you spend it on?

Yeah, I've seen that lovely JD of yours!

Honestly not sure what I'd spend it on, there are loads of basses out there that I like but none that I actually need.

But if you forced me to spend £2.5k then most likely a Mike Lull 54P, or perhaps a 1978 Music Man Sabre just for YOB and nostalgia type fun.

Liking your high C 5 string idea, good call when you already have some lovely basses.

Gibson EB2. Always thought I wanted one or an Epiphone Rivoli as all the good 60's bands used them but when I finally bought a 66 vintageEB2D I didn't like the neck profile or that ridiculously too powerful neck pickup. The "D" had the second weedy bridge pickup as well that was absolutely terrible. I still hanker for a semi but I'm really cautious now!

Spectors. Lovely basses (even though they're not headless) but I just don't get on with the necks.
