ashevans09 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Heya, Been looking into buying a good bass for metal recently as I really don't want to keep taking my Ped to those gigs. I've been looking at the Ibanez SRX 595. I won't be able to play it before I buy, but I played and loved the SRX705, so I'm hoping that it will be similar. Basically, I'm looking for a 5 string with a nice fat tone, nothing fancy, just good for busting out some metal. In a perfect world it would be 35" scale, 19mm string spacing and two humbuckers though i'm happy to compromise on that since I'm not looking to spend alot. The only thing that's a must is the string spacing. This will basically be a gigging bass only, recording will be left to the Pedulla and Pbass, I'm just looking for a roadready bass that can take a beating Oh yes and I will be using mostly fingers but occasionally a pick. So...any suggestions? Ta! Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshallBTB Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) hey, i use an ibanez SRX, lower range one but still a wicked bass, especially for heavier styles, nice loud sound and simple controls. a mate of mine had the SRX500, was a pretty good bass, considering the price aswel. as for taking a beating, mine is in fairly good condition, been playing it as my main live bass for nearly 3 years now, and plan to for much longer, would recommend...
