I've been thinking about a 5 string Precision for a long time, but a Yamaha Attitude Standard 5 came up on ebay so I thought I'd have a punt
I got it during the week and although it needs a proper set up I used it at rehearsal this morning.
This is the bit that's annoying - it cost less than 10% of the bass I usually take with me (a Marleaux), and it sounded fantastic. It sat in the mix like only a P can do. I didn't even use the other pickup selections - just stuck with the P into my M900 with a little bit of grit for warmth. It's got a huge sound with a nice grindy quality to the mids (not surprising as it is from the Attitude line), and the low B is really strong.
It is now with my favourite local luthier for a full set up (might need a little neck shim), and I'm wondering if it might end up being my first choice.
It's a little heavier than I usually like, but it's well balanced.
Anyone else got one?
