Alternatives Ibanez BTB 670

hello.

at last i am going to buy an new bass after my starter model.

i am very drawn to the Ibanez BTB 670 but i don´t want to buy the first model i lay my fingers on.

i tried some more at the music store in germany but those don´t actually feel as nice.

do you guys have any suggestions around the 600-700 pricerange.

thnx alot.

Hello Randy!

I could suggest the Schecter Stiletto Studio. New it's around 700 bucks, you can get them for 500 or so on Ebay (used of course).

Some other options are : Epiphone Thunderbird Pro IV, Spector Legend 4X Classic Series, Schecter Stiletto Elite.

Maybe you will find something out for yourself :) Let me know what the decision is / was! Good luck on your search my friend :)

Then, out of line as well, you could look for a Btb700 with Emg40 and VariMid electronics

Otherwise, stayin' 35" scale but alder body with quilted maple top, bolt on 5 ply maple/walnut neck and active AlNiCo pickups
Yamaha Trb1005j
