I've been offered a westfield 5 string bass for £130. Anyone know if it's any good? Can't find one on the net. It's damn nice in my opinion and it's also a similar colour to the bass hooky uses in TPK vid :D.

Confused the hell out of me for a while playing it. Kept using the low B as a low E and wondering why it sounded wrong. :rolleyes:

Oh, it's got 24 frets too, unlike my current 20 fret 4-string bass. :thumb:

Take it. A good deal if you ask me. You'd easily pay double that for one of their 5-stringers.

Long-scale 5 stringers aren't that common. It'd probably sound awesome if you tuned it EADGB rather than a low B - would need a different gauge strings though. On my 4-string basses I use EA and two D strings, with the bottom one tuned to G but of the same gauge as the D.
