I bought my youngest a 3/4 size SX P bass brand new for £150 (with gig bag). I couldn't find any fault with it at all and I would happily gig with it over my more expensive stuff.

It’s 19 mm spacing. 

Just a smidge too tight to convert to 5 strings. That would take it to 14.25mm. I was hoping it would be 14.75-15mm.  GLWTS.

Trying to figure out if I could convert it to a 5 string

Whats the string spacing (or at least the distance between the outer part of the bass and treble strings)?

Welcome from Sussex too. Watch the GAS. This site is addictive.

that is very nice and who doesn't love a passive bass...
Alas i'll have to wait and see if this makes it to bass direct - then i can go trade in my Yamaha TRB1004J towards it
then the wife won't complain that i'm spending too much haha

GLWS tho - hope it goes for you

Or, you send your bass to BD and get mine a bit cheaper

I’m going to say 47-48mm - only because I really couldn’t see the tape measure clearly (it’s fine, but my eyes arnt

Brand new red/brown and black inside Levys made in Canada leather strap.

Maximun length - 52inch/132cm

£25 including postage.

Bought last year and never used as I'm going short/medium scale. Comes with padded gig bag.

Tradewise I might be interested in an electric upright bass.

Here's what it says on t'internet.

Ibanez EWB205WNE-NT 5-string electro-acoustic bass guitar

General

This 5-string electro-acoustic bass guitar belongs to the Exotic Wood series by Ibanez and combines beauty with craftsmanship. As the bass guitars from the EWB series have a scale length of 34 inches, they have a very clear articulation and sound.
Ibanez EWB205WNE-NT 5-string electro-acoustic bass guitar
This Ibanez 5-string bass guitar sounds great acoustically, but this instrument will really come into its own when you amplify it. The EWB205WNE has a natural, high-gloss finish and is equipped with a Fishman Sonicore pickup and an Ibanez SRTc preamplifier. This preamp has a chorus function, a built-in tuner, phase reverse, volume control and a 3-band equalizer (bass, treble, mids), which gives you full control over your bass sound! With just one press of the button you can get that nice chorus sound and with the anti-feedback control you can play the highest notes really loudly without suffering from any feedback.
Finish
The body of the EWB20WNE-NT electro-acoustic bass guitar is completely made of cordia, a Mexican wood type that resembles rosewood but is slightly heavier. This results in a very high tone quality. The wood also has more shades of green and gray. Ibanez's guitar builders selected mahogany for the neck of this guitar and rosewood for the bridge. Its beautiful looks are completed with a nice pearloid inlay on the fretboard, an abalone rosette, die-cast, chrome-plated tuners and, of course, a high-gloss natural finish.
You can quickly connect the 5-string Ibanez Exotic Wood bass guitar to a PA setup thanks to a balanced XLR output, that you can find next to the standard 6.35mm jack output. If you need more than four strings, this high-quality bass guitar with a very affordable price, is the perfect instrument for you!

Presumably the thumb rest with additional screw hole it requires added after the top picture was taken?

Yes

It is pretty gorgeous, isn’t it.

That’s a very nice colour combination, a bit unusual.

I think it's called Sea Foam Green

I bought an EHB1005SMS last week and didn't have any of those issues at all (though mine was an ex-demo one, so things may have been sorted in the shop). I did do one mod though. Lowendlobster on Youtube moved one connection on the active preamp (takes less than 5 seconds) and that gives the Bartolinis more bite (well worth doing). He also swapped the pickups for Aguilar DCBD4's, but as they are about £300 I'll give that a miss. I also have put some fluorescent tape (using a hole punch) over the side markers as they are so small they blend into the roasted maple neck and are almost unseeable. I absolutely love the short scale fan frets and, once the connection mod is done, would happily have another of these basses.

Wonderful basses. I've had two Korean and one German one and regret selling them. I wish you were in the UK (to avoid customs duties etc)

GLWTS

Oh, I'd love a 5 string bass like that

I've got two 5 string Jakes and am desperate to buy back one I stupidly sold (the person who has it now knows this - hint hint) - I think that says it all.

I used to have a Lamborghini green one of these. Wonderful basses. GLWTS.

What’s it like tuned to a low B instead? Is the B string playable?
