    Ibanez sr505: Korean / Indonesian

    Hi there talkbassists, I have decided to get my first five string, and the SR505 seems like a solid choice. I played one in a shop years ago before I was familiar with Ibanez models, and I loved the feel and sound of it. Only recently did I realise what it was. I played another in a shop last...
