Which 5-String Bass - Fender P, or Stingray HH 5?

[rlcramer]

I am currently selling my beloved 4 string Fender P-Bass on evilbay. I honestly LOVED that thing, but I really need a 5-string to match my detuned guitars and my 7-string.

Can you guys recommend what you think would be the best buy? I am talking strictly for recording - I NEVER play out, I never play in a band situation, this would be a studio bass only

5 String USA Music Man Stingray HH
or
5 String American Standard Fender P-bass

What say you (and pretend they both cost exactly the same amount of cash..)

Fendah!!!!!

 

[Rex Rocker]

Spector Euro or Warwick!



Why don't you just try tuning your bass to what your 7's are tuned to, tho...?

5 String USA Music Man Stingray HH

Those Music Man's have such a great playability. IMO Music Man necks rule.

Both Fender and EBMM are pretty over priced for what you get these days.
You'll easily get a Spector bass that will kick the pants off both playability and feature wise for less money than either.

Spector Euro or Warwick!

Amen to that.
