Write a reviewVintage-Hybrid Natural 5 String
so I had tried out a spector 5 string performer and an ibanez 5 string but didn't really like the feel or look of them. I took a bit of a gamble on getting this one as i've bought a number of basses and guitars off Artist previously and they've all been great. When the vintage arrived I tuned it up and it was ready to go, i've done 2 open mics with it and it's been great. The neck width isn't too wide but it still allows for adequate string spacing, the weight is perfect and the bare wood body is delicious. I got it in order to play multiple tunings and while my guitarist colleague carries his 4 differently tuned guitars around i am able to rock up with my five string and not change anything out of standard! the B string is HEARTY and just about vapourises my band mates. Love it. My 4 strings will be gathering dust now

Worth the price
Wicked bass! If youre still on the fence about it, just buy it!
My favourite bass!
I got this bass a few years ago as a Christmas present, and I can say after all that time this has become my favourite bass. I've played thunderbirds, jazz basses, fretlesses, you name it, but this bass, the AVHYB5 is by far my favourite! It really does earn the 5 stars I'm giving it!
Unbelievable..
This beauty arrived on the first day of lockdown, what perfect timing! It's even better than I had hoped, beautifully built, amazingly playable, fantastic vsrsatile tones. It's honestly the best bass I have ever played.. The Warwick is going into mothballs.
P-J style 5 string bass
A high quality bass that is a joy to play. Out of the box minimal set up was needed. The nut height and action was perfect for me, just a tweak of the intonation and it was ready to play. Didn't find a flaw anywhere, extremely well finished. It has a great variety of tones and easily handles several genres I play. I really like the round wound strings it shipped with, which are also made by Artist, I'll be ordering these. Fantastic bass, highly recommend it.
