If you're worried about the machine heads, those are standard on many of the 5 string models, presumably to cut down on weight. Quote

As it happens, I played one of these at a local music shop a couple of weeks ago, and didn't like it at all. Got a decent review in BGM though. Quote
waynepunkdude Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I would have looked at the tuners and got a bit suspect though. Quote

Horrible I thought. The neck was probably the worst 5string neck I've ever played. Quote

Bassassin Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Jack might have a point, though. It could be argued that Fender make a lot of bad copies of their own instruments. Jon. Quote

mathewsanchez Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 I think five strings all look a bit wierd. Except maybe the stingray 5. Quote
budget bassist Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 I don't like the headstocks on stingray fives though, it just looks wrong... Quote

And a wider spaced bridge... Umm and a separate chromed control plate like on the 4's.. But apart from [i]that[/i]..... Quote
josh3184 Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 oh big plus one on the separate control plate... Quote
