There was no snark in my post. I'm sorry you were annoyed.

Like I said, you weren't wrong.

I have a Sterling Ray 34HH. It's "ok".

I second the suggestion for ESP/LTD. I have a B4E and it is my main instrument.

Welcome back, are you practicing yet? Go practice! LOL
Go try out some gear. You may find you have more options than you need. There's a pedal out there that will get the sound you want whatever Bass you wind up buying. I came back to playing after a long lay-off and was amazed at the weight loss and sound possibilities available. I got a little GAS and wound up with 3 Fender basses of different configurations, all passive, all different in nature. I used to be a Gibson man, then a Rick player. Now, a Jazzbass, a P-Bass and a PJ Aerodyne and I have all the sound I need.
Go practice!

Okay guys. So I had the chance to play an Ibanez sr 305edx today at guitar center and absolutely loved it. I think I’m going to end up going with this one even though I said I was gonna go a different route this time(that’s what the next bass is for right?) .

Thanks bud! Love your profile pic! I am a massive rickenbacker fan, got to demo a few and there is just no sound that is similar!

Great, have fun with it, and TB tradition is that once you get it, you post a NBD (New Bass Day) thread so others can live vicariously through your purchases.

TB is a great resource in many ways, but GAS can be a real issue here. I'd keep your purchases to strings, strap etc for a long while. I had one bass for my first couple of decades, now I have about 20 too many.

Hey guys, so I am looking to purchase a bass again. I had an ibanez sr700 before and played in a metalcore band, I liked it but I was thinking about going for something different this time. Would like something with some grindy mids for punk but that also has good lows for metal in case i play it again. Looking to spend no more than $500. I saw the Sterling stingray HH and single humbucker version that looked and felt good, would you guys have any other suggestions? Thanks guys

Check out the Schecter Stiletto Stealth, I bought a used one, put a rex brown Seymour Duncan pre amp in it, wrapped the pick guard with some faux carbon fiber wrap and BRUH!!! I love it, P pickup for my lows, MM in the bridge for your grit & grind! New the 5 stings are $530. This is my Numero Uno!!!

Thank you. It's a '78 fretless 4001.

So, bumping an old post back to life, what did you get? It’s after the fact, but that LTDB4E is a great bass
