Le Compte BRN-X5 5-String Bass
I have to admit, I didn’t expect this much versatility from a single-pickup bass! This Le Compte BRN-X5 is in on consignment from a great customer, and it is a total workhorse of an instrument. If you are a player who loves the iconic sounds of a Jazz bass, a Precision bass, and a Music Man but wants a simpler, more streamlined setup, this is the bass for you.
Versatility & Electronics:
Don’t let the single pickup fool you—this bass is a tonal chameleon thanks to the Trickfish Preamp and clever switching:
- 3-Way Toggle: Switch between a classic Jazz single-coil sound, a punchy Parallel (Music Man style) mode, and a thick, powerful Series mode.
- Trickfish Preamp: Features Bass, Mid, and Treble controls with an Active/Passive push-pull volume knob.
- Mid-Frequency Switch: Toggle between different mid-range centers to find your perfect growl or slap scoop.
- Strings: Currently wearing smooth, polished chrome strings for a slick feel and warm resonance.
Construction & Feel:
- Model: Le Compte BRN-X5 (5-String)
- Fingerboard: Stunning Birdseye Maple.
- Neck: A slightly thicker “Jazz-style” profile—very stable and substantial in the hand.
- Weight: Lightweight (9lbs 5oz) and comfortable for long sessions.
