Cool stuff Marco. Thanks for those links.
Not to derail from the 5 string talk but how does this look for a stone cold beginner who wants to give it a good honest shot? The reviews are pretty good and price is great, especially for not knowing yet how I will take to it.
Ibanez miKro
And for the record, I wasn’t seeking out a shorter neck but perhaps it would actually be better for me as I don’t exactly have long arms or fingers. But should I look for a more standard size in case I decide to upgrade and then have to adapt to the larger one?
ETA: I also see a 1986 Peavey Patriot Bass on Craigslist that the owner says is in decent shape. Owner is selling it along with a Fender Rumble 15 amp for $325. That’s about the price point I had in mind and including an amp it would be a pretty sweet deal I’m thinking. Any recommendations?

I don't see any particular need at getting the mikro if you don't have any size limitations. The price point is good though. For a first bass, get something you can beat up and really learn on. I had a terrible first bass, but I learned a lot on how to make it sound okay through proper set-up, what type of strings I liked, basic maintenance, and how to deal with the temperament of the instrument itself.
The Peavey line of instruments from the 80s can be quality, though some of their basses run heavy. I would recommend the Peavey T-40 to anyone.
