I need to get a decent to good level 5 string bass for studio and live session work. Currently playing a 6 string Korean Ibanez BTB and a Cort 4 string, neither of which are keeping up in the studio. Cort sounds decent for live use however.
I need to cover Jazz Standards and Top 40 Pop/Rock stuff for the live work, studio is generally punk, pop-punk, metal etc. I also record bass for my own bands work which is Progressive Rock/Metal, but rarely ventures into modern 'djentier' bass. Despite that, I'm a big fan of Periphery and Tesseract bass tones, but also more classic 2000s era bass tones. Never needed to tune below Drop A so far, but who knows?
Budget is probably around AUD$1000 possibly more or less depending on how much I can sell my current basses for. Any suggestions, especially for something that punches well above it's weight class?
