I'm looking into a six string bass, and I'm very new to this. (greetings from the DB side!) I have found an ibanez 506 and a peavey grind 6 string used for the same price. Any thoughts on which is more preferable? If it helps any, ill be doing everything fron church music, jazz soloing and chords and standard rockband stuff. Thanks in advance for any thoughts! |

btw I play my SR505 at church too, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it on a rock, country, jazz or R&B gig either.
IMO get it!
