Members RSBro Posted April 9, 2009 Members Share Posted April 9, 2009 I paid $300 or less for both my Spector Q5 Pros, and would recommend those... A Legend can be had for around that same amount... - georgestrings Those are also great deals (esp the neck-through models) if you can find them.I think they're d/c'd though and have been for a while now.

Members RSBro Posted April 9, 2009 Members Share Posted April 9, 2009 Sounds interesting. $600 is reasonable, for a quality bass. Definitely looking for something I'm going to hold onto for a long time. Any decent basses in the $1k to $600 price range? I'm going to have to keep looking. Played a Legend 5 Classic at a local shop....and really enjoyed it. Didn't buy it because they want $450 without a case.... If you have 600-1k to spend, just get a Euro. They come up often.

Members Bogster Posted April 9, 2009 Members Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'll just say what I always say: Owned a G&L L-2500. Great bass, but didn't prefer the string spacing so ditched it for a L-2000. The BTB has a great neck/fretboard, killer sound, the string spacing is perfect (well, for me it is). I've had it 7 years and fall in love with it every time I pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jackcheez Posted April 9, 2009 Members Share Posted April 9, 2009 Sorry that bass didn't work out. One of my favorite 5ers is the Stingray 5. You might find a used one for 1k or under. Well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jugghaid Posted April 9, 2009 Members Share Posted April 9, 2009 Finding another Kingston/Heir would be great as they are kickass basses for the price. So are the Peavey USA made milleniums. Nice one on TB right now.

I saw that......I'm not a fan of the look...and after playing the Heir, I'd need either both pickups or an active preamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No paypal, but he's got perfect feedback over there. And those are smoking basses. I had the 4 string version with the detuner and it was a great bass. They were well over $1000 new. Basically a bolt-on Cirrus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jerry_L Posted April 9, 2009 Members Share Posted April 9, 2009 Schecter Stilletos are great 5 string basses IMO, as well as:Peavey Grind,Peavey Cirrus BXPThat's all I can come up with in your price range that I would buy if I had to buy a 5er. +1 on the Schecter. Haven't played the Peaveys, but they also look nice and have gotten positive reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say enough good things about the Stiletto Studio 5'er that I've got . It blows me away every time I pick it up, and I play it a lot... THe EMG HZ's aren't everyone's taste, but I;ve been able to get fat and crisp tones out of it. I leave my amp EQ flat and never have to have any part of the active EQ all the way up...
