help needed to choose a right bass

[denisboy]

sounds better good to me..
gonna see it one day at davis but i dunno with the budget of 800 can i get high end basses

 

[cheyen]

get an ibanez man!

i used to own a greco,. then later own switched to yamaha,. then to fender,.
the tone was gorgeous man,....but when i tried ibanez,...i got stucked to it,.
fast neck,.... even for a 5 striing,.....

 

[denisboy]

ibanez?
i never thought of it.
one of my fren had got a ibanez,he told the sound doesnt sustain?

 

[ahkiatt]

my ibanez sounds fine to me...

 

[Z3r0_G]

ibanez sounds fine. just that the GIO series doesnt sound good IMHO. lacks the body and warmth.. not to mention GROWL(only found and associated with warwicks or rockbasses)

heh.

 

[denisboy]

hey thanks u guysss
now i am down with a few choices..

1. Tony Levin's Stingray
2. Rockbass (yet to try it)
3. Cort (yet to try it too)
4. PRS
5. Thunderbird Epiphone

all sound equally good to me i have seen a few rockbass and cort at swee lee and tried a bit.
so i am now confused to which to get

 

[denisboy]

oh man i kind of like the Ibanez RD500 too.
shit how do i decide man..

 

[ahkiatt]

Rd500 is really worth the money...

 

[denisboy]

RD500 is good?
wa must try it man
i got BB414.. i read the rd500 review like sound similar??

 

[CrispyEgg]

i see your "choices" have not narrowed down since, but instead expanded lol!

i'd reccomend the MIJ fender. can't go wrong with those! but rmb that they're passive Jazz basses, it's really up to you to form your unique tone with your fingers.

the ibanez500 would be a great deal if u like the THUMP in your bass, highly reccomended.

i'll just leave it at these two.

 

[denisboy]

hahahaha yea
really cant decide man
i am more into funk rock and stuff so i guess i will be RD 500?
haha i dunno le

 

[ahkiatt]

thick skin a bit go try all.

 

[denisboy]

hahaha i will but i aint that good
pai seh
anyway i calculated my budget will be 1k
haha

 

[denisboy]

so now i guess got more choice to choose from?

 

[denisboy]

all right a conclusion..
Ibanez EDB400,Ibanez SR500 or Ibanez RD500??

 

[CrispyEgg]

u got two threads both talking about the same basses?!?

RD500.
