5 string recommendations

[The jazz metal flum]

I'm sorry but this another thread asking for bass recommendations.

Anyway, I'm looking for a 5 string bass to use when playing metal/hardcore in band and I just wanted which bass you guys think would be best. I looking to spend £500 or less.

[fltlnbassist]

Ibanez SRX series or SR series

[Killer Fridge]

Yamaha RBX775

[Chris K]

Ibanez BTB, quite cheap, and a great tone, with a beefy low end. great basses for pretty much anything.

[dan02345]

esp/ltd...anything from the 155 series and up

[Phalanx]

Ibanez or Yamaha, try and push it to a Yamaha TRB1005. Everyone loves dem axes

is 500 lbs = to 1000 usd? roughly?

a used Warwick Thumb BO 5... used*

the ibanez BTB505qm is good for it too.

Musicman Stringray 5 also... love these

it can be but in the UK basses tend to be more expensive than in the US. £500 won't get you a used Thumb I don't think but I could be wrong

it could do, but it would be reeeeaaallly pushing it, it would probably be pretty knackered

its probably safer to estimate 500 pounds to about 700 dollars, when it comes to actually being able to buy basses

i just got me a fender jazz 5 string, and metal b what i play, works just dandy :-D

[LewsTherin]

Spector ReBop.

Alder body, maple/rosewood neck, EMG HZ pups, active preamp. Very popular basses for metal, and with good reason.
