  We present a model describing a single brane with tension embedded into a
five-dimensional space-time with compact extra dimension, which can be easily
stabilized. We examine the linearized gravity in the model and obtain an
expression for the four-dimensional Planck mass on the brane in terms of the
model parameters. It is also shown that the scalar sector of the effective
four-dimensional theory contain a tachyonic mode, and we discuss the problem of
stability of the model.
