^Nice of you to remind me, Guigo. Early next year I may have some money to get a custom bass (if not, I'll have to settle for production, but still)...

Just for the record I work (in fact I was his boss until recently when he was promoted) with Daniel Alegria, owner and designer of D'Alegria Custom Made basses. I'm not a bass player but from what I've heard it's highly recommendable.

Ibanez make pretty decent 6 strings around that price range, i don't think anyone has mentioned them yet but a lot of people these days are dissing ibanez basses because they're very popular and seem to be associated with death metal (silly i know) but for the price you cant go wrong. Or the yamaha rbxjmii  is really nice too.

Probably.  I find the wide fingerboard of my five-string Fender to be a bit of a pain in the ass, but I'd rather have an overly wide fretboard than a bass I can't slap.

I guess such basses are primarily aimed at metalheads making little or no use of slap, but needing an easy to shred fingerboard.

Not necessarily. Six strings tend to be really wide, but there are five strings with pretty slim necks, almost like wide fours.

Five- and Six-string basses all have really humongous necks.
