Ibanez SR505 or Warwick Rockbass Corvette $$

Hey,

I'm looking at getting a new bass and wanted your opinion on the Ibanez SR505 and Warwick Rockbass Corvette $$ 5 string.

I play mostly metal, but I also play pretty much everything.
Always play fingerstyle, not a fan of picks.
Playing through a Peavey Max 115, just a practice amp for playing at home.
I want a deep low end with a little growl.

Both basses are around AU$1200 (US$1100).

Thanks

I have an old 505 i believe and it was $700 2nd hand, i love that thing! I ebayed a 506 recently for around $500... I think you should ebay it, these arent overpriced cosmetic basses... ebay it and you wont be afraid to tweak, cut and explore it as much as you want.
