I hang my basses fairly high (not under my chin tho... and use a quite broad strap so maybe that sorts i? That said, I do fell that other 5ers I use are better balanced e.g Lakland 5502 (exceptopnal balanced bass) and Warwick Streamers[/quote] Thanks. I might re-visit the Sandberg stuff. I really want a nice Jazz Bass 5 string (probably in exchange for my Warwick) - and Ironically it seems as though Fender don't make the best ones!

How do you find yours?[/quote] The California I used didn't have any noticeable neck dive? I've noticed that after listening to alot of lakland MM+J pup configs, that it doesn't cut through the mix very well... it's to soft and smooth. Perfect for slow paced blues...etc but not punk, metal and the like? What do you guys reckon?

I use my 5502 mainly for jazz, funk, blues, pop etc.....for heavey metal you need something with more "bite" IMHO FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
