Ibanez Roadstar II vs Peavey T20

[rnilson]

All right I am getting a bass to use in my newly formed Math Rock Trio. I am looking for a bass that is verstile and can do agressive and old school P bass tones.

I have narrowed it down to either:
Early 80's USA peavey T20
-$200
-In good shape
-No case

MIJ Ibanez Roadstar II P-Bass

-$300
-In fair shape (a bit of Mojo)
-with hard shell case

So which would you get in my shoes?

Haha, i started a thread the other week about a Peavey Fury vs Ibby Roadstar!!


The consensus was in favor of the Roadstar!


Now, i HAVE a T20... and i really wouldn't trade that for either of those, but... the slanty Super Ferrite sounds different than a Split P. The T20 neck is fairly chunky, too. I do a bit of math-rock stuff, and i don't usually reach for the T20 in those cases....

Try one if you get a chance!!

The roadstar P-bass is just not a good bass, it's a top contender for sub 1K p-basses that are stock.

Really good sounding bass.

Pulled the trigger on the Roadstar....It was just too sexy to let it get way.

Very nice indeed... I've always wanted one..

But I've also always wanted a t-20... care to drop a brother a note on where you found it and some contact info?... since you aren't buying it.
