I too have an Ibanez Mezzo 5 string in 32" and can confirm that they are cracking little basses - my band managed to squeeze in a couple of rehearsals before lockdown hit us again and they also really liked how it sits in the mix (I'm lucky, my band like plenty of bass!)

I found I like the 32" scale, so when a Warwick Corvette in 32" 5 string popped up on the forum I was tempted and snapped it up. Not had a chance to use it with the band yet but at home it sounds good. A tighter sound than the Mezzo, chunkier (but comfortable neck) and narrower string spacing (which I find fine.) At home, the low B on this sounds really good, maybe better than my 34" Sandberg!

Either of these are good off the shelf options IMHO 🙂 

Rabbit - Chas n Dave

Xanadu  - Olivia Newton John

Three Coins in a Fountain - Andy Williams (I do worry about my brain sometimes..0

Eclectic, pumping and fun would be my choice.

Maybe Ca Plan Pour Moi - Plastic Bertrand, Drink - Alestorm, Breathe - Prodigy

then throw everyone off guard with the below.

Where Eagles Dare - Iron Maiden 

Angel of Death - Slayer (if just for the joyous juxtaposition of Cliff and Slayer.)

Flash Bang Wallop - Tommy Steele

How's the low B string sound on a 32" scale? 

I've always been of the impression that 5 strings just don't work with any less than a 34" scale neck.  Would love to see that theory proved incorrect.

I think it's fine - I have an NG5 Dingwall 37" B and a Sandberg 34" B.

It's not in the Dingwall league,  but it's as good as the Sandberg. I've since picked up another 32", a Warwick Rockbass Corvette and the B on that actually might be better than the Berg...

Am enjoying that scale length 😀

Best,  my little Ibanez Mezzo 32" 5 string for £258. Innocent, somewhat sweet looking but a right bruiser in the mix. My band now get annoyed if I use anything else...

Steve bought my DMX Foot Controller - super fast payment, clear comms and has just let me know it has arrived safely.

Top job Sir.

Thriller - Michael Jackson 

Dance Macabre - Ghost

I Should Be So Lucky - Kylie 

SOLD - that didn't hang about! 🙂

Hi all - you're not gigging so sort your lights out!

Banish the 'School Disco' auto programs and use this instead to startle and blind your band mates at will...well, almost 😉

Stairville LED Foot 8 DMX controller - you can program in chases (changing colours) or scenes ( fixed colours) and then select them by foot.

These dmx controllers are a bit of a dark art to program but after a bit of swearing I got the hang of it. Only changed it as the guitarist bought moving heads which needed more channels to control.

Collection or posted at cost.
