a friend of mine going to buy him self a 5 string bass..so he needs to know what are some cheap good 5 string basses available out there...please dont mention any javas or givsons...and the genre he plays is metal....the cheaper the better but has to be decent...thanx!
Look for HMI basses the sound really good and price ranges between 8 to 12 k..they're made in chennai.. awesome for Metal..very reliable.
when you want cheap and quality stuff better look out for used ones... thats worth the deal.. Sanjivdas on this forum is selling his Ibanez bass(not sure) .. try contacting him..
