Passive 5 strings, what are your favourites?

[Paulhauser]

I really liked my FGN Neo Classic jazzes.

The Mike Lull 5 strings are very comfy and nice to play. My PJ5 had a lovely classic sound to it, and the B was very integrated into the sound of the instrument.

My Dingwall Super P5 and Super J5 are two of the finest fivers I’ve ever played. The Super P5 is completely passive with a Tone-Fusion control, the Super J5 has recently been fitted with a Sadowsky preamp but still sounds good passive.

I took a chance on a Maruszczyk Jake 5p on the for sale boards on here a couple of years ago. Haven't wanted anything else since. 

If I'd had the choice I'd probably have gone for the haussel pups instead of the delano but it plays beautifully.

I've got the arm chair to match your two seater sofa. Not sure what you'll do with that info.... But, nice, aren't they?

They are, the kids are doing a fine relicing job on ours. Is  yours any good for metal?

A glorious thing. Love it.

Well that was unexpected..... it looks quite odd at first to see a Stingray P, but I can imagine it sounds like the dogs danglers. For those who do hot know, the original St8ngray prototype had a P pickup in the Stingray position, so you are almost going back to the first Stingray  

[fretmeister]

It’s lovely.

 

has an Aguilar 60s wind pickup. Plenty of output but not stupid. Tone up and it’s really grinds. Tone down and it’s old rounded p tone. Took a while to find the perfect strings for it, but I’m now settled on D’addario Pro steels. 50-135.

Revealing that no one has mentioned Fender roscoe beck 5

here's some of my frankensteined passive 5 strings

It's good to see some cool 3+2 headstocks. I know it's illogical but 4+1 looks, to me, like it's added as an afterthought; which it was of course.
