fast, playable 5-stringer?

[chadhargis]

I have an Ibanez BTB Prestige 1305e and a G&L Tribute L-2500.

If you want a thin neck, low action, and plays like butter...the Ibanez is the axe for you.

I love my G&L, but it's neck feels like a tree trunk compared to the Ibby.

The two sound 180 opposite of each other too. The G&L is very punchy, thick, and growly where the BTB has a much fuller sound to it. Very modern and melodic.

You can get multiple tones out of each depending on how you adjust the controls.

I love 'em both!

Beautiful G&L! Love the blueburst

I must say I'm a 4 string player. But for 5 strings with thin necks and low actions I was impressed with a few Ibanezes I tried. Cannot remember the exact model though.

Let me be the first to say a Ibanez SR505 I love it. You guy have your Fenders !!
