Need a good new gigbass :O

[staf Wouters]

Hello forum

Straight to the point: I need a new bass, but I don't know what one. There's a huge list atm and I want to shorten it.

I'm going to tune it to drop C.
I like a punchy powerfull bassy sound.

Like this one:



Also, I'd like it to be a lightweight. I want to be able to do some cool moving on stage too, remaining stationary is not my style .

I also can't choose between 4 and 5 string. Most of our songs are in dropped C tuning, some in dropped D.

My budget goes up to €1200 in the extreme. But I'd like to keep it around €700 ^^.

I've recently found an ibanez atk 310 for €350, what do you guys think?
I've also been considering a G&L tribute premium L2500 and an Ibanez ATK705 or Ibanez SR500. Maybe I'll try a Warwick too.
I really can't choose ^^.

Greetz,
Me

P.S.: forgive me my chaoticness, please

Buy one of these from me:

Music Man Sterling (USA) HH 5
Music Man Sterling (USA) HS 4
Fender Geddy Lee Jazz
Fender Am. Std. P Bass 2011

They will all do what you want...

I really like the L2000, but lightweight is not the first adjective that comes to mind. Try it out on a strap before making a commitment.

Warwick has very tight lows especially thumb basses, but they are heavy. You could do an ash corvette or a proline corvette, they are a bit lighter. .y proline has tone for days. It's also for sale but That's another story

Inane basses are extremely light and many sound great. Go try some out. I would say buying used is best bang for your buck

ATKs are a secret in this business...

The ATK is a good choice but a used Warwick is never a bad idea. Even the Corvette standard is a great bass that sounds exactly like you described.
