Schecter Stiletto "Elite-5" 5-string Bass
This Bass is the newest to my collection as of 2005. This Schecter Custom Bass is made out of Mahongany with a beautiful Figured Maple top. It is a neck thru body design which adds to the sustain of the instrument. The bridge is made from a heavy Brass and is a Uni-Saddle bridge. This is for deeper and longer sustain of the strings. The neck has a single diamond figured peril inlay, which is beautiful. It has 2 EMG HZ soapbar custom pickups with active 18-Volt electronics.
Dean "Edge" Custom 5-String Bass
This Dean "Edge" Bass is made out of Mahongany with a beautiful Figured Maple top. I have the Black Shadow Figured Maple and a 5-String. (4-string pictured above). It is a 35" scale with bolt on neck. The neck has a Figured Razor peril inlay, which is beautiful. It has 2 Dean custom soapbar pickups with active 9-Volt electronics. This Bass sounds great and I use it on stage as a backup Bass.
Ibanez BTB Series 5-string Bass
This is my overall favorite Bass. The tone is fantastic and the playability is unsurpassed with Basses in the same range. The body is mahogany with a flame maple top. The pickups are 18volt active Ibanez soapbar pickups and the bottom end deep sound is phenomenal. Another great feature of this Bass is the Uni-Saddle Bridge. Each string has it's own independent bridge saddle, which allows each string to vibrate without effecting the other strings, producing great sustain. I had the body customized, stained and lacquered to my own design. I also use this Bass on many of my recordings as the sound is so hard to beat.
Fender Precision 5-string Bass
This Fender Precision 5-String Bass, has passive pickups and the tone is subtle and rounder than active pickups. It is a very light weighted Bass made out of alder wood. It has a warm sound and a good slap-popin Bass. I occasionally use it on stage but it is mostly my backup Bass. I am working on upgrading it and will eventually add active pickups on it for more tonal variations and balanced overall volume.
