BeastxHarlot is on a distinguished road
Default Ibanez SR700 vs ESP F404

Alright, I'm kinda torn between these two basses. Which one would be a better one? Preferably I'd like a bass that's flexible and can give me a variety of sounds. If not, a jazzy tone.

I hope you guys can give me some opinions or experience shared with these basses

thanks!

you're kinda torn because you've already tried both but can't decide, or you've yet to even touch either perhaps?

if it becomes so close that you can't decide, go for the trivial details such as looks etc.

[edited: sorry, my bad, my experience was the SR prestige, not SR 700 ]

i still believe Ibanez's RD900 (discont'd but still available) is one of the best, dynamic bass i've tried...
