My first bass guitar :hyper:

Thanks to the people on this forum when I asked what bass would be best for my needs and they recommended an SR500 series.

I went with a 5 string for the added range it gives you in both notes and hand positioning. I play 6 string guitars but I'm sure I'll have a lot of use for the low B. Plus a lot of the bands I listen to have bassists who play 5 strings and I like their style.
