I'm thinking about playing again...

Hello, forum! it's been a long time since the last time i posted something here...

Well, here's the situation.. I have a Peavey Max 110 Bass Amp in my room... it's just sitting there, doing nothing.. i sold my P-Bass (Aria STB) almost 6 months ago.. i now have a little money to spend so i'm thinking about buying a new bass (it's not like i'm joining a band or anything, i just play for pleasure and it helps me chillax)

I've seen this two basses that left me heartbroken...

1) 2012 Warwick RockBass Streamer STD 5 string, Natural Satin, all passive, 2 humbuckers, 24 frets (haven't tested it yet)

2) Ibanez GSR390WN, really beautiful bass, Ibanez Humbuckers (2), active, 24 frets..

What i like about the warwick rockbass? All passive, 2 humbuckers, 3D bridge.. what i don't like? the fact that is a 5 string bass (i'm more of a 4-string)

What i like about the Ibanez? 4 string, Super fast ibanez neck, top of the line of GSR basses.. what i don't like? Active...

I need some enlightment.. someone that had experience with both or similar basses...

Finally, both basses cost exactly the same (and apparently i can get the rockbass in 4 string if i buy online, but only in black) so, what do you think it's the best choice? :smug:
