Bass guitar recommendations?
Hey all, aspiring musician here who just got his first yearly bonus from his job. (Yay!) Instead of pocketing it all into my savings like a smart person, I decided to treat myself and use a little of it to fill out my collection of instruments with a new bass guitar. It will be my first bass, but I'm interested in getting a five-string as I'd like the ability to down-tune to match the tone of my seven-string electric Schecter if I wanted. First research is leading me to the
Ibanez' SR505, which has an awesome Flat Sapphire Blue color to it which I love, and great reviews for all around playing.
Do any PA bass players recommend a specific brand or model? Anything under 4 figures would be preferable.

that said, I hang out with a lot of musicians and when the subject of bass guitars comes up, Ibanez is always at the top of the list

I had a lot of fun on my Fender jazz bass, but that was 15 years ago, and I'm not certain they have a 5 string version.

In my opinion, if you're going to go with a fender, you're better off sticking with what made them a household name; passive 4 string Precision and/or Jazz basses.
They had a standard Fender Jazz there, but it was like 1200 bucks. Seemed too costly for my first Bass, the Ibanez was almost half that.
@ceres feel free to close this thread if you'd like. Thanks everyone for the short replies! I'm excited to learn this new instrument :biggrin:
