Question Current best 5 string EB bass?!

[drTStingray]

I imagine Pete would sell you that very one!

I guessed he might

I think I'm gonna be having to save my cash for a new 'vintage' Stingray or 2.

Pete, that pic kills me... If I ever win the lotto I will be giving you a call.

Bongo 5 HH

 

[drTStingray]

huh?

What an embarrassing typo - the word was meant to be KICKS

 

[Big Poppa]

Those signature artists know all the secrets to stringmaking.... IF you like those strings fine but please dont believe that they are substantially different and I dont even know what brand you are talking about.....I just know the string biz fairly well!

Wow...I agree that there is no best.....even within each model..on the 25th Im partial to the hss but you want the monster truck of basses its the 2H...just Huge...crushes Priuses. Laughs at Hummers. Doesnt need two people for the carpool lane...sits where it wants...first in line in the buffet.

I knew what you meant, just thought it was kinda funny...

Agreed totally!

I'm afraid I'm one of those guys who can't use the nickel strings (allergic reaction) - and tho I like the EB stainless they're not always as easy to get from local stockists without ordering here!

I haven't stated the type I was referring to (but it's not Flea!) cos it's EB bandwidth - BUT I would say the EBMM strings the 5 er came with as new are as good sounding as anything I've tried since - what I currently have on are a bit more mid-rangy which is nice using the series setting especially - they did replace very worn in flats so maybe that's the comparison I'm really hearing.

I snapped this pictures during my recent GC trip of the 25th 5HH that I played. Amazing! Wish my camera on my phone was a little better.

 

[AtomicPunk]

I'm still in lust with my Bongo 5 HH. It's just so BAD-ASS.

 

[laneline]

I highly recommend playing a 25th 5 in any configuration.

 

[shakinbacon]

Just finished practicing for two hours

I can say the Bongo 5 is the best

Of course, it would be nice if I tried the others

Thanks, I needed that Big Poppa, my 25th 5HH has been on order since Aug 31st I can really get into monster trucks, I don't like Priuses, or Hummers, " I work for a Ford Dealer " I never use carpool lanes " We don't have any", I generally sit where I want, " cause I can " and the only reason that I am not first in line at the buffet is because my wife goes first! "After all she approved my order." Me and the 25th 5HH is gonna get along just fine!
