New bass! I nearly died.

Not many people seem to like SRX, or Ibanez for that matter...I am glad mine can sway a bit! I am really not brand dependent. My first was an Ibanez (cheap jumpstart pack) My second was an Epiphone Goth Thunderbird, and now this.

I like Ibanez. I've had a RB-999 bean bass (stunningly good tiny little bass, I miss it), a BTB-1305 Prestige (which I didn't keep), an older TR-series 200W (great ash-body P-bass sound) and my latest is a NOS BTB-1205E NTF which is a really nice instrument. The Ibby's just don't seem to get the respect they deserve from a lot of players.

I like the higher-end SR-series basses. Easy to play, and they sound great. Good score, great price. What's not to like?
