BTS_Spacebass Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I'm thinking about putting my bass up for trade - musicman stingray 4 string, 3 band eq, piezo bridge - got a couple of slight chips but aside from that its banging. I'm gonna be looking for a passive 5 string but I don't really know what I should be expecting in terms of value and what comprable 5 strings I should be looking for in exchange of a roughly similar value (i'm prepared to take a slight drop). Any advice please? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Academy Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Most higher end 5s are active. Maybe a Fender US model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTS_Spacebass Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 okay, maybe I need to open this up a little then, I'm kinda tired of the musicman sound, i want something deeper and smoother. Something a little more rounded. I've been tempted by 5 strings for a while so thats a given. Maybe it's not the active i'm bothered about and just the sound of the bass overall. I am abit of a n00b in the sense i did buy the musicman because 2/3 of my fav bands bass players used em but as I develop my own sound I don't think its doing what I want. I;ve looked at lots of 5-strings but i'm not too sure on which will be best. Even though I play metal i'm looking for something suitable for dub and trip-hop more than growly rocky kinda sounds. any suggestions?
