Stingray. As a recent convert to Stingray fives, I feel they fit in pretty much every musical style, and are very comfortable to play. I've owned over 50 different basses many of them 5 string and have to say the Stingray just works.

Oh blimey, too many, but there's a few that stand out, a late 90's US fender jazz, black with a single ply scratchplate, two early Zoot boudicas, the first shape, a blueburst fretless 5 and a natural flame maple 6 string. A Carvin LB75 in trans red and a warmoth gecko fretless 6 in flame koa.

Warwick Thumb NT5, immaculate condition, 2007, only discrepancy is the truss rod cover is from a bolt on model. Bass plays perfectly, no issues at all, 4.9kg, so not a lightweight but not unmanageable. Sounds just like a thumb should, tight and growly. Neck is a pleasant size, not skinny, not chunky, I personally find it very comfortable. Comes with a warwick rock bag or if posted a tatty old school hard case. Will consider trades, NT Streamers,4,5 or 6 string, Stingrays,4 or5, or an older fender, or pretty much anything interesting will be considered. Will take lower value basses with appropriate cash adjustment. P&P £35

Sell the body(to me😉) and get another one in a more preferred colour!

Harley Benton? There's a 5 string on eBay that is very similar. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Harley-Benton-5-string-active-thru-neck-bass/195573865808?var=0&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338749374&toolid=20006&customid=GB_619_195573865808.141227150325~2062689181872-g_EAIaIQobChMIh7e3oYSf_QIVCG8YCh1xFwH1EAQYAyABEgIZGPD_BwE&pageci=104abae2-fed5-4bbc-bb77-14ea35837632&redirect=mobile

Mike Walsh at Zoot bass springs to mind.

Recently picked up a Yamaha FX550 effect unit for not a lot, unfortunately it needs the internal CR2032 battery changing, anyone done this or has any experience of opening up such things?

Everyone and everything.

Give Mike at Zootbass a call, he has a reasonable stock of it.

Thats all very good and well, but not everyone can afford 2 top end amps, just in case. Any amp is better than none if your amp fails and it's more important that the gig carries on, at the end of the day the punters are more important than you having your preferred tone.

Jazz bass bitsa, body is genuine jap fender 60's reissue, neck is an old stewmac licensed fender replacement. Gotoh large plate machineheads, wilkinson pickups. The sound is classic jazz, these wilkinson pickups certainly punch far above their price point and the playability is excellent. Couple of dings here and there, nothing major. Weight is approx 10lbs. Would prefer collection as no bag/case but can post well wrapped if need be, or can deliver personally within couple hours of witham, Essex

Fretless PJ bitsa, body is a squire and the neck is an allparts unlined fretless with ebony board, with dots where 3rd,5th etc frets would be. P pickup is seymour duncan, bridge pickup is a di marzio, hipshot kickass bridge and gotoh gb10 machineheads. Couple of small marks on body and neck, nothing that affects playability. Sound is fantastic, really good mwaah if that's what your after, and with the bridge pickup soloed you're in classic jacoesque territory. Weight is approx 9lbs. Would prefer collection as no bag/case but can post well wrapped if need be, or can deliver personally within couple hours of witham, Essex.

Speak to Mike at Zootbass, he's building me 5 string from paulownia, should weigh less than 8lbs when complete.
-
On one particular jazz I had I used to raise the neck pickup slightly, or lower the bridge pickup, either way gets a similar result, still sounds like a jazz bass but with just a touch more body to the sound.

Are there any BassChatters who make Custom Scratchplates?
GBH replied to thebrig's topic in General Discussion
Mike at Zootbass makes excellent scratch plates. -
Big fan of ernie ball cobalt flats on my fretless, nice top end with good midrange thump.
-
Believe they were marketed as a TR Revelation, late 90's, early 2000's. Guitarist mag ( possibly bassist, I forget) did a review on one.

Just received this yesterday, courtesy of @bigthumb with a lot of help from Mark Newman. Absolutely fantastic amp, bags of power, great tones, how people can say that these amps are sterile is beyond me. Not as heavy as i feared either, it's no lightweight certainly but manageable.
