Does anyone here care about 5 strings?

Or a TB Studio 5 stringer. Alas!, it taketh no prisoners and it knoweth no language, but its B string voice is unrelenting.

You must be Geezer Butler, welcome you molten lava emitting brethren!  

No Geezer here, but he did come to Perth last year!

Geezer lives in Perth?
Rhystard, how do you like those Rio Grande Pit Bulls?
For a passive 5, you could get something in a T bird variety for a reasonable price from Cataldo.

The Pickups are fantastic, certainly a lot better than the originals, which interestingly started ok then seemed to become microphonic and "middier" with time.
I wish I was able to give you a description of their tone, but I am none too eloquent, certainly not when compared to Uwe who can describe bass tone as though the blurb was to go on the back of a wine bottle.

Call me strange, but I prefer buying new. The sweat on it then is only mine...
Plus I like that the new cherry EB would allow me to gig a bass that at least in some part slightly resembles my favourite looking bass.

There's a cherry one still here that's calling my name, but the timing is awful.  I'd do that up even tho I haven't played a 5 in years.
