The black active 5 string that @Linus27 is maybe considering? Not to rain on this thread but other people's opinions (mine included) generally don't help. The real solution is to try for one's self 😊

This is why I always move on Stingray 5s whenever I get one. Breaks my heart as I find them amazing apart from the string spacing.

Having owned both this active Affinty 5 string and Sire 5 strings in the past I would say the string spacing on both brands are pretty much identical.

Are you referring to the active version of Squier Affinity mentioned on here or the older passive version? I ask because before purchasing my active version I tried 3 different ones to see if it was a fluke and I found them all equally excellent. I'm factoring in price-point here also.

I owned the Squier briefly and thought it was excellent in every way. Only got rid of it to maintain a one in one out policy. Never played a Harley Benton before.

As I'm a fan of flat(ter) radii I would definitely look elsewhere. ACG for example or even a Warwick Corvette.

I mentioned this on Saturday as shown here.Sold now 🙂

And what if I haven't exactly? Am I the only musician who hasn't?

That's some serious mileage. I've even seen it pop up when discussing pickguard colours.

Do you know the name of every bass player in bands that you don't listen to? What a ridiculous thing to say. I don't even know the name of every bassist in bands I DO listen to.

Okay. The weight question is a pretty straight and serious question to me. It can apply to anybody when you factor in body type age or whether suffering from any particular injuries.

I'm genuinely curious when this running gag started?

The Sadowsky can also be a used purchase if you end up down that route. https://bassbros.co.uk/product/2024-sadowsky-metroexpress-21-vintage-jj-5-2/
