Its great price even with brexit tax. Want the Bongo more though 😉 

I think so too. The price is fair.

By the way the Bongo is gone. No surprise of course. It’s a fantastic bass.

Amazing bass again man.

If this is still hanging around next year....

Unlikely at that price.

Thanks man. We’ll see if there’s some interest at all I guess. I’ve no idea tbh.

With all respect to the Lull....

Bongo for the win.

Well I suppose it's a matter of personal preference for all of us isn't it. I think they're two very different instruments. The Bongo 5HH is definitely the best 34" scale 5-string bass I ever had. I just found my personal home with the Lull basses after being endorsed by Spector for quite a long time until the company was bought by Korg. Most of the Lull 5-strings have 35" scale lengths but it doesn't feel like it at all. Still surprised by it to be honest. The only other time I experienced that particular playability with a 35" 5-string was with a US made Lakland 55-02 that I had tested in a shop years ago. So that's my story regarding the "holy grail". For now at least.

Meant to ask, what's your holy grail 5 string?

At the moment (and hopefully forever) a Mike Lull M5

Music Man Bongo 5 HH Harvest Orange incl. Original Hardshell Case. According to the serial number it's from the 1st of August 2022.
I bought it in October 2022 and I still have the invoice and cardboard box that it came in.

The bass is in absolute meticulous (like new), pristine condition. No damages whatsoever.

The plastic film is still on the pickguard and it's stringed with the original factory strings.

No neck heaviness due to the new Custom Music Man Tuning Machines that are superior to the old Clover-Style tuning machines regarding the overall balance.
Bottom line is you get a top like-new instrument for over 30% less than the current original price.
I found my holy grail 5-string bass so I'm considering to sell this one even though I already thought about keeping it.

Out of curiosity, is it the usual 16.5mm strings spacing at the bridge(s)?

Well it's the MR5S monorail bridge so the string spacing can be adjusted from 16.5mm to 18mm and/or anything in between.

Loves an SR... all about the neck...

Not a fan of Luxury Wood... prefer plain and simple... like the back and my SR600.

But... there is NO denying, Ibanez just 'do it'...

Ridiculously Stunning!

The neck is spectacular indeed (if one likes slim and "fast" 5 string necks that is of course)...not a fan of luxury wood either (I like it simple and plain)...but since this custom SR5 was offered to me through a trade I couldn't say no obviously...The craftsmanship is really incredible.

or a trade for a Spector Forte 5 or NS 5...

Please no trades unless it's a Mike Lull 5-String Bass, Sadowsky NYC (21 frets) 5-String Bass or a Music Man Bongo 5 HH (only with the newer light weight tuners).

The price would be negotiable (naturally with limits...). Thanks.
