Well i couldn't find a 32" SC headless...So i decided to design and build my own. Had a pair of Peavy VFL's 5;s lying around so one's gone in the bridge (im still looking for it's preamp..it's about here somwhere!) and id thinking of dropping an S in the middle position (maybe mod one in after it's finished) My 2.9mm stainless wire just arrived after being lost/delayed last month, not sure if i'll be going high gloss or hard wax/poly wipe on yet...i should start a build log here for this i guess.

I think those Lakland/Hanson LH3 pickups are better than the Bartolini set they replaced. They're a bit more aggressive with more bite and attack. Bass Player Magazine liked them, too: I've got a 44-02 Deluxe fretless with them on and it's a fabulous bass. So many classic fretless tones available with that pickup system. If you're only going to have one fretless bass it a very versatile choice.

I remember reading that review when it came out! I bought my first four string Stingray a few months later.

JJ Burnel, Lemmy, Geddy Lee - in that order. It worries me that I may not have progressed particularly far in the subsequent 45+ years. -
Thatโs such a great groove, two true masters at work. RIP Sly, an absolute legend in music. I bet the pair of them are blazing one up right now.

Nicky wire - archives of pain by the manic street preachers. I didnโt realise bass could be that distorted and aggressive, very influential as a teenager. same with Breed by nirvana. Honourable mention: Timmy C for all three rage against the machine albums. Super solid, chunky and groovy basslines and great unique tone. -

I spotted one of these last week. Naomi MacLeod had one on her IG. Not sure if she used it with Biffy or not. I like the look of it..

It's pretty, but whoever decided to use a cloth grille obviously doesn't have cats and are unaware that speaker cabs with cloth grilles are excellent scratching posts. I wish they offered a metal grille as an option, especially if they're making them in-house now. I recently bought a new RM800 EVO III - the input gain control is borked and I'm going to have to send it off to get replaced. First time I've ever had a piece of Ashdown gear be unreliable, and I've been using them on and off (mostly on) for 24 years now. I should have held out for the new UK-made one!

Hi Folks, Very sad to let this one go! Fabulous resto by CARLSIM on this Bass well documented here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/479078-xotic-xjpro-5-string-sold/#comment-4973009 Additionally there is a blog and Carl has kindly offered to answer any questions if required? So I bought this in from Carl in June 2023 and it has never left the house whereby apart from a fettle and my setup, a set of USA Dunlop Nickle wound brights 45/130, new batteries and several polishes it is exactly as before! Plenty of info and reviews out there and I can 100% confirm how good this bass is! Does all the Jazzy things you would imagine plus has some very unique tones of it's own due to those incredible pick ups, very playable neck and balances well. Cash is king, not really interested in trades, however a nice J/MM 5'ver with 18-19mm spacing plus cash might tempt me? Meet within a reasonable distance preferred or I can courier strictly at the buyers risk and expense albeit my packaging is legendary lol! Plenty of more detailed images if you click on the link in the above text. Had a few weight requests so I tried two scales: 9lbs 8ozs on the first and 9lbs 9ozs on the second, not heavy for an Ash body IMO and it balances well! Just remembered, there is the original Xotic gig bag with it, bit of stitching around the zip adrift but otherwise in great nick! Gaucho 5 IMG_0026.MOV
