2012 SR505

#22
exactly what I was thinking. I think I am going to go with the qm and trade in the one I have now to keep the wear and tear down. I feel bad because they already ordered a new one for me but I just found out about the qm today and I think its a safer bet.

The qm is 700 is that too much for this should I spend a little more and get a different one? They do have a used one for 500 but I am iffy on buying used and not knowing who had it last and if they beat on it.

Yeah it said SR505QM. I was also looking at a IBANEZ SR4505E for 1200. I know they are pretty good, but are they worth the extra cash? Have no problem keeping the SR505, but I am going to start playing bass for my band and want to be set for gigs. I love the SRs, because they fit in my hands perfect so its just a matter of which one.

BTW: Thanks for all of your input everybody, I know I am kind of being a pain I just want to make sure I think everything out while I have a 30 day return policy :)

I owned an SR505 for a little while. It is a very nice all around bass, especially for what you are playing. The only reason I sold mine was I found it too modern sounding, but I play classic rock and blues. For hard rock and metal it should be great.

Thank you for your service and be safe!

Ummm...you mean this one: Invalid Link Removed ?

If that's the case, it's an exclusive GC model and yes, I'd get it. The finish is prolly the main (and only) drawback of the SR50X. The one made for GC is very cool looking ;)

Yeah that SR505Qm does look really nice! Thanks for the feedback much appreciated. I am either going to pick up the SR505QM and return this kabbf because it really seems like it will ding up fast. Or I was looking at this model

Yes a little more expensive, but I have heard good things about them. I cant pull up much online about it. I also don't know about USED at Guitar Center. If not then will no doubt take the SR505QM

I def agree about the price being a lot more. But is it worth the price? haha. I pretty much am buying one bass and keeping it for a long time. The price isn't that much of a big deal for me if it performs. Unless the 505 holds its own with it :)

Hate to re birth the thread but i have a question myself... i played a sr505 at guitar center today...omg i loved it. it sustained well and played fast.

I noticed that its still a 34" scale length . with 5 string bass provide any advantage still with lower tuning (A# G# dropped) ?
