    I'm only recently learning how true this is...

    Had no idea Phil Collins was so jazzy/funky on drums until I started listening to Brand X.So sad to see his current physical condition.

    What year are we talking?

    Goodness me they almost look good enough to eat🤤

    Let's see how fast it shifts at this price. No one's taking the bait yet which surprises me 🙂

    Nice bass. Yes unlike their 4-string counterparts the necks on the Fender 5-string P and J bass have identical dimensions.

    Saw a Sire Vintage V7 five string on Ebay newly listed this morning.This evening it's now in my living room.I've done it yet again-he was a guitarist who bought it two weeks ago and when he does play bass just wants a passive 4 string P bass,he REALLY priced it to sell quickly.So in short he had zero problems selling his 5 string bass.

    As a die-hard 5 string player I admit to enjoying seeing 5ers in classified ads that 4 stringers failed to get the hang of only because they sometimes can't get rid of fast enough and will sell below market value. I've nabbed a few along the way like that. One man's poison...

    This. Advertise a 4 string at the "wrong" price and see.

    Okay. You said the bass was less than a month old which drove the question from me. Thanks.Also do you know the weight at all? I tried one in Guitar Guitar in this finish and it felt like it weighed about 11 pounds or so.

    Great looking bass this. When you say it's less than a month old do you mean you've had it less than a month or it actually came off the production line less than a month ago?

    While still retaining good low end? If you can find a Sadowsky in your budget give it a spin. I have a Sad preamp in my 5 string Fender Jazz and the sizzle and low end live happily side by side to my ears.

    Bass Direct are now selling Klos necks separately as Fender replacements. I've never heard of the brand before. Have I been missing much?

    I think it may boil down to personal comfort and how much you'll pay to achieve it.The Anaconda will have a flatter radius,slightly longer scale and if we're talking 5 strings will have wider 19mm string spacing over Sires.That alone on paper at least puts them over Sires (I've had a few) for me. I tried a 6 string Ultra J Essence in Wunjos once and even though I have no use for the high c string I thought it was phenomenal.

    Good god and my wife wants to know why I need to have 3 basses 🤣
  16. Terry M.
    I ask out of genuine ignorance as I've yet to play one. What's the hype surrounding them?
  17. Terry M.
    There's so many basses mentioned on this thread that I've literally never even heard of much less seen 😂
  18. Terry M.
    That's fair enough. To be honest it was the reissue that made me aware of the original. I played one (reissue) in The Gallery once and thought it was ok 😊 Never seen or touched an original one (yet)
  19. Terry M.
    The newer versions put out in more recent years are hard to find as well.

    Feel free to ignore this post as Thomann are German based but they have a decent supply of them and I've personally had a good experience with them with regards to no hidden charges and relatively easy and free returns.

    I tried one of these in GAK (RIP) a while back and thought it seemed like a regular sized bass. I could be remembering it wrong however.
  22. Terry M.
    Funnily enough Bass Direct now have a used Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor 5 in stock.
  23. Terry M.
    People seem to hang on to their Carvins,selfish lot!!!
  24. Terry M.
    It's the same bass. They told me the customer sent it back because they didn't like the preamp. I didn't mention the weight of it though? It seemed okay to me but then my Warwicks are heavier so...

    One popped up early last year on Gumtree in the amber finish,it was basically mint.£500. I contacted the guy and hesitated until...it sold!!! Less than a week later it resurfaced in Bass Direct on commission sale for almost double the price. I was in there while they had it and when I tried it that's when I REALLY wanted to kick myself. It was stellar in just about every way. I always thought they were the full 34" though? I know the 90s TRB5P was through neck and 33 7/8" scale. You don't mean that one do you?
