5 string bass at 30”?

[Tristan Gorin]

(No TMB35 or Mikro please) Looking for a five string bass at 30” or up to 32”, preferably with no fret inlays. Budget is around 1000, it’s hard to find this specific preference. Any recommendations help, if it’s over my budget lmk and I can save up!

Ibanez Mezzo SRMD205....$380 new....32" and only comes in the one color.

Then there's the Serek line 30",some 32"...about three times your budget,If you can find one.

For 1100-1300 you may be able to find an Atelier Baby Z 5-string (30"), a great bass you'd never need to sell or upgrade (unless you find the treble on the pre hard to tame), but I struggle to think of a similar bass for under 1000. If you don't mind fanned frets, the Ibanez 1005SMS bottoms out at 30" I think, and you can find those used for under 1000; while owners apparently really like them, many seem to replace the pickups with Nordstrands.
