p.s. yes actually i was in a jazz outfit for about 9 months back in Indiana. I just prefer a four string Bass is all, and i noticed you and dave say you play 5 strings. Thought I would throw that out there.
I was just reminded of when I went to a presentation by Steve Bailey, and he said something about when 5 strings first came out, he had a guy in Canada make one for him. He was playing for Dizzy Guillespie at the time, and he mentioned how those deep deep bottom end notes are like a big sofa to sink down into. That's mainly the reason I really like 5s. Can never really get too deep.
