Members Onkel Bob Posted August 11, 2007 Members Share Posted August 11, 2007 Try the Ibanez ATK305 as well. I don't know what the B-string is like though. But the 4-string version is a cool bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I know, I know SXes aren't quite unsung, but you rarely hear talk about the 5 stringers. I have 2: Well, that's the way they were when I bought them, and they were good. However, I wanted a badass style bridge. Finding one with the help of a fellow HCBFer, after I installed it, the wider spacing (oh yeah the spacing on the SX jazzes is close, good for converting guitarists like me) required pups that could pickup the outer strings, especially the B, better. To make a long story short, they now look like this: mine are ash, so they are not the cheapest SX 5ers, but IMO, it would be hard to go wrong by trying one.
