ForestPoetry Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I've been out of the 5 string game for a while. I've honestly preferred playing 4's but it's good to have the option available, and band members "encouraging" me back in that direction, but with 5 strings I'm very picky about neck dimensions (don't have the biggest hands). Usually only Soundgears do it for me - I swore by them for a long time, but I wanted something different. I've always been GASsing for the big W. I must have tried ten different 5 strings over the last week or so. Old faithful Ibanez got a look in, but I don't like those Panga Panga fretboards they're putting on a lot of stuff now. Came pretty close to buying a Ray35. Sire, nice but too many switches. The Spector was great, but unsure about the 35" scale. Tried a Yamaha BB735, and it was beautiful, but the neck was still just a tad too chunky to be comfy. The TRBX didn't do anything for me. I remembered playing a Thumb BO 5 and how playable I thought it was, despite the odd pickup arrangement. I just didn't want to drop the £1000+, until I got my hands on this: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 ... and here's the bass on 'potato cam'... Bad pic, nice bass though. What does the 'GPS' mean? Is it for touring musicians to be able to shout, "Good evening Tipton!" with 100% accuracy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
