[quote name='spinynorman' post='612970' date='Sep 30 2009, 01:54 PM']Seeing your comments about string spacing and catching the wrong string, I wonder if you've just got a 5-string with a narrow neck. I had the same problem with my first 5, which had the same width at the nut as a 4-string P. Since then I've had a MIM Fender Jazz V and a Spector Rebop 5 and they're both much better. (Or yours might be too wide, depends on you.) So you might want to consider trying other 5s to see if you find one that suits you better.[/quote]
No I dont think it is a narrow neck I think it is purely my lack of experience and that the strings are closer together than a 4 string.Thanks for the thought and for taking the time to post.
