Ibanez Sr505/605 vs Peavey Foundation 5

[vaca11]

hey guys i have been looking for a new bass and got stuck between these 2 models.

I am a huge fan of ibanez necks thats why i am having this debate ^^

anyway..

Ibanez Sr505/605 is 595 Euros

Peavey foundation is 450 euros ( and shop owner claims its brand new)

So which one do you choose ? ( keeping mind that i love light weight basses and thinner necks) + state the reason

If you like light and thin neck - hard to go wrong with the Ibanez. Their sound is not my cup of tea but they're great basses.

I have used many different brans ( for trying or for few weeks) including custom shop ones but nothing feels like the neck and the weight of an Ibanez Sr

I loved the sound of Foundation ( if i remember it had feritti pickups ?) but it so heavy i felt i am holding a dead cow

This makes me think that the Ibanez is a better option for you. I think both the Peavey and the Ibanez are excellent basses. I found for me I was happier with Ibanez when I looked these basses because of the playability of the Ibanez. Both sound good, just different.
