I've got a Gretsch G2220 which is great fun, but the guy I bought it off had purchased a u5 as he found it easier to play (he was a guitarist that was shifting to bass for his band and wanted to get comfortable with the stretch in his fretting hand/strenghtening little finger etc).
I've also got a Sire Marcus Miller P7, and its great quality.

My indecisive mind is still struggling in buyer mode for a new bass and having flipped and flopped between the Fender Player Jaguar and the Yamaha BB434 for months now I've noticed the Sire Marcus Miller U5 which I've taken a bit of a fancy to. Never played a short scale before but at the price I'm tempted to just take a punt at it from Thomann who apparently will have stock available in around '2 to 5 days', imagine this would turn into quite a long wait though. Only Andertons look to stock them in the UK to try out and I won't be able to get there for a few weeks, if they've even got stock to try, the website says they're not available until September for them.
