A wonderful son from Rick Astley to show that he is not only about Never Gonna Five you Up 😁

A cool synth bass line in a cool song

Wonderful song from The Police

I really like this serie, intro and bassline, it was quite surprising noboy transcribed it before, hope you like it  

 

This was tough... hope this would be useful for you 😁

A Hohner The Jack Custom V has just appeared in France, looks in very good condition except for the battery cover missing. Price is à la française, so too high, as it's always the case. I can translate in French for you if you want.

Thanks for the link! But right now I'm about to finish a deal with a colleague here. So I hope I'm done searching in a few days. (until the next GAS attack 🙈)

Thanks for the advise, but i really want a full body headless. I found this body-less designs very unconfortably for the roght hand

I found this one in Edinburgh. With the active on it makes my little Orange Crush 25W practice amp sound very big and nasty 🙂

Very affordable, very playable, but a tad heavy.

Oh, I though this hohner was lightweigh!😲

Above your budget but someone is selling a real Steinberger XQ5 for (I think) a very reasonable price. Different league to the Hohner or Washburn. 

 

Too much above 🤣

I wasn't sure.

What are your DIY skills like? Hipshot have the bridge and anchor sets, if you could find a suitable bass to fit them to. Bass Collection would be cheap, but would require a bit of work to fit the bridge and refinish.

I don't feel brave enough for that haha. And i think 'cutting' a neck must have a huge impact in its stability.

I saw them, but I read some bad reviews about its quality

Washburn Status?

There is no 5 string version of this bass, sadly.

Look for Hohner Jack 5 Strings. Think they are quite rare but sound like exactly what you are looking for. 

Yeah, but is quite rare to find them on the second hand market

Hello everyone!

I've been searching for a cheap(or at least boutique price) 5 string headless bass to use as a backup instrument for a while.

The only thing I encountered besides aliexpress stuff was the no-body models from Steinberger for ~400€. And, after that all the basses I saw where luthier-made for more dan 2000€.

Any of you know any brand that have a model for about 1000€ or so? In guitars there are options for any price, but sadly in the bass world seems to be some kind of emptyness here.
