my freind is an insane bassist and he picked up a used tele bass w/five strings, is that normal or custom? also the neck is very small for a 5 string, almost like it was origonaly a four string.




(P.S.) i didnt think squire made tele basses

Squier make a "Vintage Modified Precision Bass TB", which, apart from the Mike Dirnt arm contour, is pretty much a MKII Telecaster bass. And you're right, there's never been a Fender or Squier 5er Telebass. But there are several ways of converting four-bangers to 5ers...

Does the bass have a Fender logo on the headstock? Warmoth makes a 5 string tele neck and an early '50's Precicion body, much like the first telecaster basses looked. The neck has a 1 3/4" width at the nut, which makes for super-tight string spacing and a fast feel. If the body is shaped like the telecaster guitar, then I think it's a custom-made bass.

I believe G&L might have made a 5 string ASAT bass, which would also fit your description. :) [/code]
