[QUOTE=mathiticus]Im not really looking to get a new bass, but i was wondering if anybody could help me find what my bass is worth of i choose to sell it. I have a fernandes five string fretless made in Japan, FGI active pickups and lots of other goodies. i think it is an APB or an SPB model, i really dont know. ive looked everywhere to find out how much its worth but i cant find anything.[/QUOTE]

why didn't you make another thread instead of digging this old one up?

Ibanez i have the 305dx never let me down and its is great never trade it for somehting else.

if not Ibanez , then like everybody else spector

but if you have alot of money Stingray 5 !



well maybe a sadosky but thats nearly impossible for me.

[QUOTE=Grateful Undead starring Jerry]Will the Luthite make my bass' tone synthesizeresque?[/QUOTE]

NO no no, its a synthetic material, not a synthesizer material. The Curbow sounds like a traditional bass it just has some modern building components.

i just registered and it wouldnt let me

[QUOTE=billtus]fender make a 5 string, i reckon that would be fair sweet, i had to settle for a REAL cheap one with crappy sounding humbuckers and a weak neck (its bowed toward the B) anyway, i think if you want to play a 5er if you play slap it might take awhile to get adjusted, but if you can get a descent sounding one it will advance your playing a fair bit[/QUOTE]
Fender 5 strings are terrible. The squires and mexs have uncomfortable necks, and the b's sound bad. The American ones aren't terrible, the b's sound better since they are string through, but the necks are still uncomfortable. The American 5 strings play the same as basses that are half the price.

My opinion

4 string - fender,musicman,g&l
5 string - warwick, yamaha, ibanez, spector
6 string - yamaha, warwick
7 string - conklin

Just from what I have played at local shops, and guitar center over the years

After 6 months of playing a 4 string, i bought a 5 string but quickly found that i needed to upgrade to a 6

Good luck saving up :thumb:

Warwick Streamer stage II :P

I have a Spector Euro LX 4 string, and their 5 strings are awesome.

Im starting to want a warwick dolphin...

Neither..........
 

Why would you settle for a five-string when you can get a string-string bass guitar, like the bassist for "Los Lonley Boys."

Because some people prefer 5 strings.

I own a 6er, but I dont play it often anymore.

Going by your logic, your next bass will be a 14 string? Why settle for 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13?

this thread is over a year old.

Save for a Warwick $$ 5er, bloody amazing and pretty too

I think by now the thread starter could have saved for a private yacht.

Let this thread die.
