Thanks - there was a vgc one on evilbay at £269 , I was wondering how much to offer as it didn't sell

[quote name='andybassdoyle' timestamp='1332438816' post='1588447'] Thanks guys. It certainly feels intuative that the string mass might be an issue - there's a lot less going accross the neck with E-C that B-G. I've wandered between light and medium, perhaps I should try something a bit heavier. Cheers [/quote] Talking to prosebass , he said it would be lower tension with a low b

My prose bass e to c is very comfortable to Play

hi does anyone have an idea what a really mint version in natural is worth ? A search of past "for sale" posts reveals a very wide range. thanks

Thanks - will think about this carefully but concerned about 24 fret neck combined with 35" as I have short arms too . There is a peavey grind on eBay that didn't sell that's a 35" and many people on this thread seem to rate them

[quote name='Jack' timestamp='1332271114' post='1585927'] If you can find a little bit more money there's the Ibanez K5, specifically mine which will be on the marketplace in a couple of weeks . . . . [/quote] Ok maybe - dePends on the eBay auction Reserve met - just waiting on final score

[quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1332273805' post='1585995'] Hi - Just spotted this. I have this: [url="http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/aria-sb-505-and-little-bit-of-jaydee.html"]http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/aria-sb-505-and-little-bit-of-jaydee.html[/url] Played very little, had it from new - 5 string players say it's a cracker but I just can't get on with 5 strings!! This is the only five string I have, out of a mountain of four strings and it is in your budget. Whadaythink?? Cheers. [/quote] Hmm - will look it up for sPec . It is very pretty although I hate the pointy knob thing . Pm me a price to think about ? You are in east mids somewhere ?

Hi I hadn't thought of jd. Oh man ... Choice so much choice. NOw I just need to wait for my eBay auction to end to discover my actual budget Think I tried your double neck at the notts bass bash

People were raving about the active version.

[quote name='TomRichards' timestamp='1332253832' post='1585601'] Send me an email to [email protected]. I have spec sheets on the Brubaker Brute Series 5 strings that might fit your budget. Many of the basses mentioned here so far would be great. If I were to recommend the OLP, it would be the OLP 5 Tony Levin model, which actually looks better then the normal OLP and are a little easier to play. Not sure why, but they are. [/quote] Ok done

[quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1332082928' post='1582907'] My GSR200 has a different neck to the SR300's i've tried, so an actual SR might be different to the GSR, cheapest is the 300/305 Liam [/quote] Thanks I will look that one up

[quote name='Thor' timestamp='1332082154' post='1582897'] How about a used Spector Legend 5 Classic in Black Cherryburst? 16mm String Spacing, just under 45mm at the nut - the neck profile is (IMO) very similar to a Jazz neck profile, scale length is 35", active EMG's - plays really nicely! Certainly worth a thought! The one on the right! Only pic I've got at the moment - if you were mildly interested I could take some more and upload them... [/quote] Thanks - but as I said above I seem to struggle with 35"

For the bartolini humbucker in a cort curbow 5? Thanks

I'd be worried about the fatigue thing as it sounds just like what happened to my partner, if it's what I think it is, I might have some advice to offer
