Please vote - Which bass to get finalists

[maddnotez]

After some research and conversations I have narrowed it down to 4 and I cant decide.

The Schecter is $100 off and 0% for 24 months which is very appealing to me.

The Ibanez looks killer and the Warwick just seems great, the clips sounded fantastic.

Please vote and post any opinions. Very curious about the Corvette vs the Corvette Basic.

Looking for a solid, best bang for buck bass to record with but the tone is most important. Will be for modern metal.

Since it’s for recording, the Schecter has “Studio” in the name.

That’s all I have. I have no experience with these basses.

I had a Rockbass and it sounded good. The neck, in my opinion, was the weak link compared to its German bretheren, of which I now own 4. I had issues getting rid of fret buzz on the Rockbass, where as I've never had any fret buzz on any of my German Warwicks. How much can you spend?

I have a Rockbass and a German Warwick and, honestly, they're both great. They're very zingy and can be bright, but also have the round, woody undertone that supports the rest of the ensemble well. Of the available options, If you're recording modern metal, I'd go with one of the Warwick models, myself. The Ibanez would be a close second.

Any of them would work well, but in that case, I'd think it comes down to what feels best and has the cleanest electronics.

None of the above is an option, but if you held a gun to my head it would be the Ibanez.

I choose the orange one with the green neck...

Ibanez 1st, Schecter 2nd.

Thanks for the replies. Got tired of racking my brain over this so I just went with the cheapest option.

Got a Sterling Sub Stingray with Rosewood and a Sansamp Bass Driver for just over $500.

I would go with the Ibanez. Bit more flexibility in the preamp and comfortable to play while head banging.

Schecter Studio...followed extremely closely by the Ibby

I voted for the Ibanez, seems to me likely to be the best bet among those, nothing wrong with the other choices, but Ibbys are great bang for the buck and tend to be more tonally flexible...
