Bass purchasing advice

[Mizaki]

Hello, TB forum! I need advice on a bass to get. I'm looking for one that has a treble heavy sound that has an aggressive 'clicky' tone to it that is under $500. Sort of like .....Fieldy. Now, whether he is talented or not aside, I happen to like how that kind of bass sounds and that's what music is about, right? (translation: I didn't make this thread so people could bash Fieldy and talk about how I should stop liking him and get a P-bass or something) I'm not really looking for thump or growl, since I don't really need that kind of sound. So.. in that realm, what do you recommend?

An Ibanez ATK300 can do that, and tons more if you ever need a different sound. I got mine new for $450 out the door and absolutely love it. It sounds just like a Musicman Stingray and has a very powerful EQ that can hit just about any sound you would ever need.

I've gotten a very mid-scooped (as you described as "trebly" or "clicky") tone out of my Schecter Studio 5. The Studios' EMG's are pretty treble biased, if you are looking for something like that. We cover a couple of Korn tunes, so I'll cut my mids to 1/2, boost my bass and treble and "click" away. I dig that tone as well, and the Schecter covers it real good.

Last i knew, he was playing a custom version of an Ibanez SR885 detuned. Good luck finding your sound!
