Bomber - Motorhead

Does sound daft - also a bit limiting for Ibanez too. Inspired by the Ibanez I also recently bought a secondhand Warwick Corvette Rockbass 5 32" and wanted to swap the strings on that to the same as on the Ibanez. Thanks for the Newtone suggestion.

Hi @fretmeister did you get anywhere with tracking down the appropriate 5 string set?

Blinded By The Light - Manfred Manns Earth Band

King Rocker - Generation X

Backseat Education - Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction

1812 Overture - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Drink - Alestorm

Downtown - Petula Clark

I'm too sexy - Right Said Fred

Hurry Up Harry -Sham 69

Brother Wolf, Sister Moon - The Cult

Doctor Doctor -UFO

Echo Beach - Marfa and the Muthins

That does look bang on for my tastes. Love a little boost at 800hz. Who's going to tell TC to build it? 😉

One - Metallica

I'm walking backwards for Christmas- The Goons

Yes, a 40hz cut is handy, but imho probably better done on the amp. I do frequently boost the lows for a particular song or two mid gig via the bass controls - having a boost at 40hz isn't as useful as a cut at this range. A comment further back mentioned a control cutting at 40hz and boosting at 80hz. That sounds simple and covers both requirements. IME the additional mid controls are usually centred a bit higher and so don't boost lows.

The Sun Has Got His Hat On - Noel Gay and Ralph Butler

This is probably the clue as to why. Though I've no idea what that second sentence means🤔

I can't claim to have conducted an extensive analysis, but certainly most that I have looked at seem to be 40hz. That Audere has the highest bass frequency I've seen by a long way. Interesting! Glad you like it.

Strong Arm of the Law - Saxon

My recent acquisition of a 32" Ibanez Mezzo 5 string has been an eye opener. I've got quite small hands (can handle my 37" Dingwall though...) and at a recent rehearsal there was a moment on the Ibby where the shorter scale clicked and it all just felt so damn easy - I could actually 'play' about a lot more than my meager talents usually allow. Plus, it sounds awesome in the mix. I think 30" might feel a bit short, especially for 5's - and there only seems to be the Ibanez Mezzo and a Warwick Corvette 5 available in 32" 'off the peg' -but I'm definitely a fan now - so keeping an eye out and maybe considering moving on a 34"incher or two.. even edging towards the scary 'custom build'...
