As a bass player myself, I think the 5 string is overrated, but like Rudi said, it’s really about the sound you are going for. As for sustain, I don’t think I’ve heard anyone get more sustain than I can get playing the open E on my Ibanez 4 string SR 300(it’s 14+ years old, and Ibanez has changed the model so unfortunately, finding one exactly like mine is difficult).
Also, the type of strings matter.

Ann Wilson, but then, I kinda liked Nancy too. Another set of sisters that play multiple instruments, albeit, I am pretty sure the MonaLisa Twins have them beat. If I was 25-30 years younger, I’d totally be crushing on the MonaLisa Twins! Not sure which, although I kinda lean towards the redhead.

Impossible choice Tim. Do I take the one with long gorgeous red locks and fantastic guitar licks, or the blonde percussionist (who is no slouch on guitar either)? They both seem too have a great sense of humor.
Yes, I am aware that that isn’t their natural hair color, and that the description sells them way short as far as their talent. Near as I can tell, if we exclude the brass (Mona plays the flute, and apparently mom plays the sax, and someone mentioned a trombone), the only instrument they don’t play is the dulcimer? Their skill at the autoharp may be in question as well. None of which helps in choosing one or the other.

Michael James Thompson: Diana Rigg was smoking hot, but unfortunately, I wasn’t born until 1969, and didn’t discover the Avengers tv series until I was nearly 30. I first saw her in Her Majesty’s Secret Service, and was totally enamored with her, so much more than most of the other Bond girls.
If we are talking about actresses, my first crush was Lynda Carter aka Wonder Woman.

That is true Tom. Like I said, it’s all about the sound you are going for.
One should also point out that since my music room isn’t sound proofed (and I’m sure I’m not the musician with that issue) playing a note that low through my Beringer BXL3000 amp would feel like an earthquake in the house, and knock every picture off the walls.
I’m not saying that there isn’t a place for the Low B. Just that I don’t find it useful in the music I play.

Thank you Jung, and Merry Christmas to you as well.
Yes, I very much enjoy the Duo Sessions (well, except for the song I don’t like, but the fault with that lies with John Lennon, not with the MonaLisa Twins). Thanks for the suggestion.
