[quote name='jonthebass' timestamp='1339329872' post='1686852'] For instance over the Jubilee Weekend Strings Direct offered 10% off and Coda Music offered £60 off every £500 spent. Just thought it would be good to see this stuff in a dedicated place as there must be shops/online retailers putting up up offers all the time that someone would find useful but not know about. [/quote] I vote "yes" but only if it is for this kind of example above

[quote name='Johngh' timestamp='1339353025' post='1687327'] Chris, I take it the Warwick 6er is the one I ended up owning, it's a cracking bass. [/quote] Yeah , thats the one

I am getting the feeling that Dingwall's seem to be popular

[quote name='PTB' timestamp='1339310012' post='1686597'] Chris, Another bass?! Knowing a little of your taste in basses, how about Roscoe, Ken Smith, Bossa and Overwater ? I think you should also try a Sadowsky M5, quite different from Gwilym's Jazz-inspired one you played recently. Of course, once your MTD lands, you may just want another! [/quote] I like the look of the roscoe bass guitars. I really enjoyed Gwilym's sadowsky , how does the M5 differ ?

[quote name='merello' timestamp='1316937536' post='1384453'] [/quote] This looks a little Danelectro-ish

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1339271454' post='1686286'] GBs - Rumour or Spitfire 5's [/quote] Oooooh something different ,.......... Controversial

Pics ?

Very cool!

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1339259510' post='1686047'] Dingwall there's 3 here in my home in London for you to try if ever you are in London give me a shout [/quote] Thank you for the kind offer I shall bear it in mind , I may be heading up to London later in the year So I may PM you.

[quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1339254643' post='1685965'] Hi Chris, +1 for the Dingwall to try (it's on my list to try myself) but also worth trying a Musicman 25th Anniversary in either HH or HSS configurations. Happy hunting :-) [/quote] I thought about looking at the 25th anniversary stingray 5 too. I also have thought about the dingwall 5 strings as I love alot of Phill Collins songs which feature Lee Sklar playing a very expensive 5 string Dingwall

[quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1339253303' post='1685945'] My green Pedulla! And its for sale Great low B even though its only 34" scale. Rob. [/quote] It's a mean green padulla machine

That reminds me ......,, I also owned a Warwick streamer 4 fretless And played my friends Warwick streamer stage 1 , six string bass

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1339246877' post='1685839'] so i want punchy deep lows. [/quote] I would recommend trying some Epifani gear. It's fantastic gear and light. Your welcome to try my gear out. PM me if your interested

I may be after a new or secondhand 5 string bass. My question is ............................... What 5 string bass guitars should i try out that i have not so far ? The bass MUST have a great B string . Fire away

What tone are you after? What music do you play?

I also own an electro acoustic guitar. I like the rhythms that seem to work when playing acoustic.

All joking aside , I would defiantly recommend going to the best bass shop you you can find and playing ALL the five string bass guitars that are hanging on the wall. It is the only way to find out what you do and don't like.
