Best bass for $1,500

I don’t have anything yet, but there was this on YouTube, and I believe there is a clip or two of the SR1100b on there, too
no problem! There’s a demonstration of the 4 string, but I think it’s on Korean...you get to hear what it sounds like though
N/m I found it. I’ve seen reviews by these guys before, even though I don’t speak Korean they’re still fun to watch
That's terrible; all that distortion on a short demo that doesn't let anyone hear what the bass actually sounds like.
If you like the Ibanez thin necks like I do (I have 3 of them), you could also try a Schecter. My SLS Elite 5 was something like $1,350 or so IIRC. It plays like an Ibanez and is stone cold beautiful with a couple color versions. I have short fingers and my Schecter plays effortless for me. It has more tone choices than any bass I've ever seen and it seems you have a variety of music you're trying to get. This bass and the Evil Twin version of it have Fishman humbuckers, a pot that pulls to make them single coil instead of double coil, a 3 way mid-EQ switch for modern, funk, and old school, and tone, volume, and blend knobs. I can make this bass sound like a P bass or a metal bass and everything in between very easily. There a few good YouTube demos out there if you want to watch them.
