I need some words of wisdom !
My new band plays a fair amount of detuned heavier rock. Up to now if been getting by with Hipshot Detuners, But it time to bite the bullet an go for a five. It just bass and guitar so i need a big chunky sound but with definition. If i could morph my rick and jazz with an extra string i would be there lol.
Past 5 strings that have come and gone:
Lakland skyline 5502 B string was MUCH louder than anything else
Dean Edge 5 Fretless nice neck dunno why i sold it really no good for this tho
Sadowsky Metro MV5 bit polite and didnt get on with the neck
Sei Jazz 5 34" ash J retro great bass low b wasnt great sold it cos i had 2 see below
Sei Jazz 5 all black EMGs very rock but needed the truss rod adjusting all the time so got bored
Needs to be rock solid in sound and build budget is £2k max the less i spend the more left over for beer ?
Waddya reckon
