Thanks for the replies guys! This morning I decided to call guitar center and see if they could help me out. Turns out the bass I bought belonged to a salesman there! They didn't know what strings he normally used so I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow to find out. Thanks again!

Yeah thats exactly what I meant, thanks for clearing that up! And doh, I completely forgot to check out Ernie balls! Ive felt a set of Ernie balls on a friend of mine's bass and they didn't feel or sound nearly as good. Maybe there were a different gauge or not broken in. Ill check out the...

A couple of months ago I bought a used sr500 from my local guitar center with some of the best feeling strings ive ever played. Ive tried my best to hunt the strings down while making my current set last but the g string broke on me and the rest are getting pretty worn. Anyways, the only...

Bump! Instead of starting a new thread, I figured I'd just bump this. So, like I asked before, does anyone have any experience with the Hadean EB-510 TWR? (Link Removed)

Thanks for the info guys! I've been looking at them for a few days now and reading through the essex club thread. I'm pretty sold on them and I'm sure I'll choose one soon! Has anyone had any experience with the Hadean EB-510 TWR? I noticed it today on their site. Looks a lot like my ibby...

I love the SR500! Haven't put it down since I got it. Thanks for the advice though, I certainly do like thinner necks. Also, I'm a bit confused on the names. What does the RN, JR, TR, MN in the names mean?

I've been looking through the Essex bass club and am falling in love with them. Which is wonderful considering the price! My question is, which model should I buy?! As some of you may know, I recently purchased an sr500. While yes, that is more than enough bass for me, I've also been...

You can barely hear it. Except when it's cold in my room, it's much louder. But I've only listened for it twice (Don't want to keep doing it and cause a problem for myself.) I actually did it just now to hear the difference, as my room is considerably hotter right now, and I could barely hear...

Oh jeez, here goes another question!: Well, now that I've played the bass for hours straight, I have a question about it that hopefully you guys can answer. When I hold on to the top piece above the neck, as well as the neck itself and wiggle it gently, there is a distinct crackling noise...

Yeah, I bought it! Its an older made in Korea one, as someone mentioned I should lookout for. Its amazing so far. I've been playing it since I brought it home, trying to learn basics and such. But I think its safe to say that Ive caught the bug! Also, I have a new found respect for...

Completely forgot that my local pawnshop sold musical equipment until you said that. Thanks for jogging my memory!

It's definitely an older one (No mid freq switch). Is the switch crucial? Will I miss it? Also, in case anyone was interested in seeing the bass in question, here's a link Invalid Link Removed

Thanks for the responses! I guess I should have waited and tried it out for myself. I'm not a big fan of the bigger, bulkier looking basses; so saying it has a small, light body really appeals to me.

Thanks for the quick responses! I haven't had a chance to play it yet. I'll be sure to go up first thing in the morning and check it out.

Hey everyone, I'm new here and wanted to take this chance to say hello as well as ask a question. There is a (very) lightly used Ibanez sr500 at my local guitar center. The price is only $350.00 My question is, is it worth it? I've only dabbled in bass (friends bass) and am now...
