I once bought a super cheap 5 string bass to see if I wanted to make the transition. It was of such poor quality, that I sold it off and went back to my 4 string convinced that 5 strings weren't for me. A year or so later, I rethought the idea and tried a higher quality unit. Needless to say, I now can't bring myself to play a 4 string anymore! I've been on 5 strings now for 10 years, and just picked up a 6 string to mess around on. Fun stuff! If you're looking for decent quality instruments for still pretty cheap, I'd check out
This place. For the money, there are some great guitars and basses here. Not quite as cheap as the kawi's, but another option to be sure.
