| Post subject: | On the Hunt for a 5 String |
Looking to get into something as a backup or shared duty bass, must be 5 string fretted, somewhere in the $800 range give or take. Prefer Jazz style - recently I've seen a MIJ Jazz 5er and a Carvin SB5000 each go for around $700 on here recently, (too bad I didn't have the $$ then  ) Either of those would have been exactly what the doctor ordered.Open to other ideas also, just really need to keep it under $1000.. dust off those un-played 5ers and hit me up! |

Unfortunately I have an irrational adversity to neck thru basses. The Schecter looks nice otherwise though. Are you selling one? |

Not sure don't know much about Schecter. Definitely don't want a neck thru but would keep it under consideration |

Schecter basses are IMHO great value for the money, well built, good electronics and very versatile, but if neckthrough is a deal breaker for you then you have to look elsewhere. |

Matt I may possibly be interested. Would definitely like to see pics, either here or if you prefer you can email me arrondicesare@gmail.com Is it 34" scale? Also what's the weight like and the neck width? Any comparison on tone (can it get jazz-like etc)? How's the B-string? thx
