[quote="BuffaloBob":1cs8dsoz][quote="Smallmouth_Bass":1cs8dsoz]I generally play 5-string most of the time. I do use the B-string, but if the situation called for it, I could use a 4. Even if I am not playing the additional low notes that the 5 provides, I like the added flexibility of playing down to low E in higher positions.
If I could only have one bass, it would be a 5-string.[/quote:1cs8dsoz]
This assessment exactly describes my feelings on the subject.
I've always liked fivers, but also always felt it was smart to have a four string for those songs that do not require the low B. That was before I purchased my ABII-5. Now it is my only bass.
If I can get my financial situation back up to snuff, I would like to add more basses to my stable, but they would all be Dingwalls and all but one or two would be fivers.
Actually, I would like to add one more fiver (a Super PJ-5), a sixer (that is a completely recent AB-II), and four string (either a super J or an AB-I).[/quote:1cs8dsoz]
I guess I'm not alone! Of course, I have an ABII-6. I also want a Super PJ-5, but instead of another ABII-6, I want a Z2-5. I'd also like an ABI-6 to throw a 13-pin output in for use with my V-Bass.
I love Dingwall, and there's no other bass for me!
