bartelby Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'm taking the 5 string to practice tonight. Had a 20 minute play at home yesterday. I have to say, it's got one hell of a punchy tone to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the real surprise for me was the J pickup, soloed it had a wonderful burp. I reckon it would sound great fretless.

I was thinking of chucking in some more expensive pickups But all it really needs is a little work on pickup heights. Would be worth getting one to defret.

Chris Sharman Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Well, having been let down by Thomann on a PJ-5 a while back I was perusing Thomann last night and noticed one of the 5 string acoustics available. Happened to mention it to Mrs S and was intrigued by her response "well your birthday is coming up... if they are still available in the morning, order one and I will treat you to it for your birthday." order placed, lets see if I get this one.

Left Foot Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Y'know what, I have a short cut on my phone to the Deko's. I'm always looking, twice a day at least either early rise or late to bed, and I've not found a bass available. Ive ordered one and got the message later saying theyre not available. I might forget about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyV Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I wasnt really after a P bass either. Been holding out for a PJ5 but always seem to miss them so what the hell...........a new P will do for the time being!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Must resist. I bought a second hand SX precision two days ago for a project so really really don't need another P, but at that price....... hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Hmm, next time there's a PJ5 up I'm pulling the trigger, for a fretless project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landwomble Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I keep coming back to my shorty P bass. It's a brilliant little thing and I'm starting to favour it of an evening over my MIJ Jazz. From a GAS perspective what it HAS done is convinced me I need a Squier CV 70s reissue though, so there's that...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I have my acoustic 5 string on it's way so that's all right. it just seems that every time I try and order one of the precisions (first a PJ5 and now this one) someone here beats me to it.

[/quote] Ah. To be fair though, the precisions were showing as available for an hour after I ordered mine so I doubt I got the last one. Frustrating tho isnt it. I have lost out on a few as well and when they are such bargains it makes it even worse to have lost out!! There will be a next time tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
