I play 5s almost exclusively these days, although I occasionally pick up a 4 and find no difficulty in swapping between the two. I'm going to be using a 4 a lot more in the future, as I've got a new project for which I'll be using a 4 string fretless. But everything else will be on the 5s.
Mark King's solo albums, Influences and One Man. His drumming on Influences is ridiculously good. And the One Man songs are refreshing for their total lack of bass pyrotechnics.

Yes. Our drummer has the Gigster and reckons it has revolutionised his playing. He hardly ever asks for any kick in his drum fill these days, he gets it all via his butt.
I de-glossed the back of the neck on my 1st gen V7 with a pan scrub. Half an hour's work, hey presto, nice satin neck.
And agreed re: tuners, they were the only Achilles' heel on my bass too. Upgraded to Hipshots.
There's nothing flash about this one, just a woman walking along a street with bits of lives happening around her. But i love it. And so did the Verve, it would seem
