@@johnr374 i've tried the ibanez, yamaha, and stingray 5 all this year and the stringray was easily my least favorite. least comfortable and sounded worst. no contest. i think the only way it would ever be worth choosing is if you really wanted that single humbucker tone it's known for. the other 2 were a close call but i prefered the yamaha for the bigger string spacing. the jackson looks cool and i hope to try it soon.

The best sub-500 bass I've ever played and/or owned is the Cort Action series. It's offered in 4 or 5 string and the Powersound pickups (don't turn your nose up until you hear and play it) are extremely versatile and have lots of low end and mid range punch. The action is as smooth as butter and is comparable to many of the higher end basses I've played. It's not a Fedora, Tobias, or Mayones, but it'll stack up to any Fender, Ibanez, Warwick, or Schecter..and I've had them all. Best of all, you can grab them on Amazon for about $250

Eb is one of those dreaded keys on 4 string bass. But it can be done. Eb on 6th fret of A string sounds good . If tuned down a half step, than the key of Eb will sound even better on 4 string because we now have low Eb. On five string the keys with 3+ flats are easier to play, and low B string gives people an option to go lower.

I have an older Yamaha TRB model base which I use with a Fender Rumble 100 watt combo and I can confirm that this rig is a really good setup. But the fact that the Yamaha bass came out on top of another bass almost twice its price just shows how good the value is on these instruments. The only problem I have with my bass is that the bridge lacks enough adjustment to get all my strings intonated properly while using a light guage (bearing in mind a light guage for a 5 string bass is still fairly massive). I do notice that the bridge is one of the things that has changed between my model and this one which could well fix that issue.

The Squier that completely blows my mind is the Affinity 5 String! I’ve picked up and played more of them than I can count and they feel awesome! Much better than the other Squiers, I don’t know why that would be seeing how they’re half the price. The necks are consistently straight and hold up over time.

String spacing is such a personal thing. My first proper bass was a 1962 Precision which had a 1 3/4"(45mm) nut and which I played exclusively for over 20 years. Eventually I tried a Jazz bass and could not get used to the much narrower neck and string spacing. I quickly reverted to the Precision!

I like the Yamaha most out of those. The 5-way switch is actually a mid freq. shift. I used to swear by Soundgears (and owned an SR505 for a long time) but I've gone off them a little over the years...they are usually consistently the best bang for your buck (playability/versatility/lookswise) in most price brackets to be fair. The Jazz sounded like a Jazz, great but you might as well get a MIM Fender or a Sire. Quite liked the other 2 but never played them myself.

Out of all the basses in the price range, the Yamaha is DEFINITELY the one to beat--they rival basses that are double their price. And, I love that they fall within the Stingray sound (which is my preferred bass sound), but is much more comfortable to play. I'm a guitarist who loves to jam on bass sometimes, and with a lot of MMs, the necks on their 5 strings make me feel like I'm really stretching and it's uncomfortable to play over long periods. The Yamaha makes the transition less awkward. GENERALLY, I prefer Ibanez for their SRMS and BTB stuff, but those are 900-1500 basses and they seem to be CONSTANTLY out of stock.

I always use the Slap-setting, Bass in neutral position, because the bass boost pot is extremely powerful, treble on full and go between the pickups. Very nice bass for the money. Since I only use one preamp setting, I'd like it to be passive, so I don't have to change battery all the time. Maybe I'll just get a P Bass, can't get more simple than that?🤔

I’m shopping for my first bass. And I have absolutely NO experience with guitars. I know the general consensus is to start on a 4 string but I have an opportunity to get a 5 string cheaper than a 4 string of the same brand (sterling by musician). So my question is, is it a good idea to go ahead and get the 5 string as a complete novice?

i mean its just one more string to learn. No big deal. No sense in getting a 4 string then a 5. Because imo once you go to 5 you don’t go back to 4.

Going from a six string to a 4 string is a big change the string spacing is the big difference but after 15-20 minutes of play it all comes back

The Ibanez is a great bass for slap, but the Yamaha can get close to that sound- but has a wider tone palette. The Squire really didn't cut it in this video. Not crazy about the Jackson. Maybe it's the look I dislike?

I've loved every video I've heard of the TRBX series so far. I'm a bit concerned though as a lot of user reviews are saying there's too much low end on lower notes and distorting.

The audio seems to have been flipped. I see Nathan on the left and Lee on the right, but I hear Lee on the left and Nathan on the right. I've confirmed, twice, that my headphones are on the right way.

I have the Ibanez but not in brown, same series in turquoise blue and has a greenish shine in it ....Plays great even I have now for about three months....Still learning the bass but with an online course now it will be speeded up with the lockdown.... Yes, this video needs a update for 2020 but what about the 6 string basses please???
