Any 5 string with 4 tuners on one side of the headstock and 1 sticking out the other like the proverbial Friday afternoon after-thought. (Oh sh1t, where can we put this extra tuner ....)

 

Anything above a 4 string has to be as balanced as possible.

Anything above a 4-string is weird.  There was a 12-string bass on No Treble the other day - NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

With eleven tuners on one side of the headstock and one hanging on for life on the other?

You'd better not look in "Basses for sale" then.

I now find 4 strings weird.I skip over them in the classified ads for sale like you wouldn't believe. In fact I wish could filter them out of the search listings 😄

Ditto. My Dingwall has been off for a couple of days for a repair to the preamp and I’ve been mainly playing my old Stingray and it’s completely not me any more. Gonna be listing it for sale soon…

This may help. Or maybe raise a chuckle.
