anyone use a 5 string with a high c ?

[hagguy]

i just recently got my old esp back, before i traded it i put
warwick black labels on it, when i bought it, it was strung with a
low b but i couldn't get any use out of it at all, the b ended up just
being a thumbrest. with the high c it is far more useable imo.
just wondering if there are any other 5 players that have their own basses
set like this, i really prefer 4 string but if i had tried a 5 like this before maybe
i wouldnt be so set on 4 string.

Matt Garrison and Janek Gwizdala spring to mind.

I agree about the high 'C', but I do find a 'B' really useful, I play a 6 string for most gigs. I find there're a lot less position shifts with a low 'B', especially useful for reading gigs and deop gigs following charts, you don't have to look away from the chart so often .
