from my experience of trying out and playing different basses in stores. ibanez seem to have one of the lightest bodies and weigh the least in my opinion. schectors to me felt a lot heavier than ibanez. i own the ibanez sr500 which is pretty much the same thing as the 505 except mine has 4...

i guess thats a 405, although, i find it interesting how that pic above me has that smooth looking finish and its not gloss looking while the one in the facebook pic looks like it has a gloss finish to it. but other than that, i still believe its a 405 based on the pickups, knobs and place where...

im trying to play and learn some hillsong stuff.....but its kinda tough. their alternate picking is a bit or somewhat too fast for me at the moment. sigh, hopefully ill get faster.

to prodigalwolf...im actually bringing my bass into the shop at sam ash this saturday because thats when the guy gets back from his vacation. to be honest, out of all the people ive encountered in music stores, the repair guy at my local sam ash is really cool and nice. hes an honest guy and...

ibanez sr505?

i recently got a sr500! it is new but...i gotta take it into the shop to get it fixed cuz the top of the neck near the headstock, the strings are too close to the fret board. the middle of the neck is fine, just the top part. i like how it sounds tho. very good. its just...ugh...stupid salesman...

im still waiting for my moment haha. im really not that great at all, kind of a in between beginner and intermediate, maybe closer on the beginner side-ish. when ppl ask me if i play an instrument or not, i go "no, not really". sigh....its all good tho, one day ill get there, currently ive been...

most people play with alternating ur middle and index finger or pick. some people actually use their index, middle, and ring finger so that they play faster and alternate with all 3 fingers, but thats more advanced where im not even close to yet. one big important tip i can give u is that...

heh, possibly yea, im thinking of MAYBE trying out a sr500, but not sure if GC would have it to try out

sr500's only come in that brownish/orange looking color?

hmm....well the guys already marking it down from $899 used. yea, it actually supposed to be $899 used, but hes being nice i guess bringing it down to $710, after tax already. so id feel kinda bad if i asked to bring it down even more. any other suggestions/comments are welcomed!!

hmm...what do u have in mind? a newer mexican fender? thanks for ur help everyone! u guys rock!

update! i am able to get a USED fender american 1989 jazz bass for after tax and everything, $710. i tried it out in the store, it seems pretty good, the condition is pretty nice id say. some small cosmestic issues/scratches, but nothing much, they are small and subtle scratches/dents. u cant...

oo i see. if i can find one and try it out, ill definitely look into it, i just dont want to buy them online without trying out the basses first cuz then i wouldnt be sure if i like them or not. i was thinking about a P-bass too, but the jazz basses have thinner necks which is good for me...

ill see if i can find one to try out. thanks for the input. hopefully samsh will have it.
