*RooT* Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Hi, I am after some advice on getting a new bass. This will be my first bass, i play a bit of guitar but fancy ago at bass. The style i wanna play is a range from slipknot to Red hot chilli's.. I like the look of the Ibanez basses but i dont know if i want a 4 or 5 string, looking to spend around £400.... some advice would be thankful....I have seen an Ibanez SR-520 on Ebay, any good? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for 4 or 5 I would reckon a 4 sting if its your first bass and the new Sterling range is hard to beat. Just do a search on here and TB, they get a lot of love.

OutToPlayJazz Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 If you like the Ibanez basses, you'll not go far wrong with a new SR500. It has the Bartolini pickups & three band preamp. Massive value for less than a Mexican Fender Jazz. Have a listen to the sound clips of them on thomann.de......... Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
