"Extended-range" bass.
Or...
Do I really need 6 strings or will 5 do?
I currently only have a 4-string fretless Jazz and I want to get another bass, something fretted with more than 4 strings.
I don't really want something massively long with a heap of frets, it's to have something more chordy for bass as a lead instrument so really it's going to be more like a big guitar for me.
Options are more limited for 6-string and I'd like to avoid anything that's overwhelmingly "metal" or "r&b" so that's most of the Yamaha's and Ibanez's and the like out of the running.
I have been admiring the Ibanez AGB-205 Artcore hollowbody 5- string...
5-string or 6-string?
Any recommendations?
