They've been getting lots of positive feedback. Good comments about customer service, too.

You could even drive there and check them out since you're in NYC.

Wow. That is crazy cheap. Makes me nervous...but I asked for it. I just need to get a bit lower than what is currently possible for me on my four string. I believe I should be able to get the sound I want through my strings and eq but am battling with how far (low) to go with that thought. Thanks man!

Ibanez has a 5 string cheap (around $450). I have one, it sounds OK but not great. Gonna have to trade up soon.

The OLP MusicMan knock-off ain't bad either.

If you do, let us know if they're any good.

+1 I had one and it wasn't bad. Quality varies with budget insruments so whatever you chose, play a bunch of them.

If you want cheap, buy used. You can almost always get a top of the line (or damn near top of the line) used instrument of one manufacturer for the price of a new cheaper model.

Cort.

Get a used Cort Curbow 5 string, it won't run you more than 400$, and it's safely the best sounding and playing 5 string in the price range.
