Thanks for the good reviews. I was looking to pick up a Rumble 15 Combo, and they're the only people who have it, so I wanted to ask people who knew what they were talking about (you guys). Thanks again :) ordering right now

I'm just deciding to pick up the bass after a few months of "I wanna", anyway, what's a good first bass? A few musician friends pointed me to the Ibanez GSR200. After some googling, it turns out that they are on sale! Is there a better beginners bass out there? I'm also gonna use StudyBass.com...
