Help me find my new bass

There are some earlier SoundGears made in Japan and Korea that would share many of the ergonomic aspects; quality timbers, shallow neck profile, small body, 24 non-jumbo frets etc. The 400 to 700 series might all be worth researching.
 
Hey everyone! Just wanna say thanks again for all the recommendations.

I ended up finding a Bacchus WL-434S BM/M second-hand for $250, so I went with it. While I wish I could have stayed Ibanez, I'm really loving it so far.

I'm also rocking a classic Fender Bassman amp with it. It shaging rocks.

I'm no good, but I did a short demo of Sparkle by Cameo with it. I'm sure yall will notice all my mistakes ;)


Once again thanks! I learned a lot about basses thanks to your comments. Heck, I'm still thinking about finding a fretless 5-string at some point... maybe when I get better.

Man...honestly, that bass is prettier than about 95% of Ibanezes out there right now (and I'm a 'nez fanboy, so I don't say that lightly...) - and you only spent two fiddy on it?!? Big-time win if you axe me...:cigar: :bassist:
