...on the Ibanez SR305. This will be my first bass. http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-SR305-5String-Bass-Guitar?sku=517408 Anything I should know? My budget currently tops out at around $350 but I can wait and save up more if it's not gonna be worth it.
It's a nice bass. If you like it... go for it. It's a personal decision, but if you're concerned about quality, you'll be fine. I have an old SR400 I got second hand just because it was black and called me ;-) and like most other Ibanez basses, really nice to play.
You getting a 5 for a first bass? Brave man. Ibanez,s are great though, especially for the price you have no worries there
Good Buzz, end of the day how it feels to you is the most important thing when buying a bass its probably going to make things easier for you in the long run. Im still rockin fours but giving serious thought to getting a five.I think we all go for one eventually
I have one and it's nice for the price! same color to only mine has the black headstock older model first issue of the bass. I think you will dig it.
I've always wondered why 5's aren't more popular as you can do everything you can on a 4 with about the same ease and then when you want it you have that extra range for some low notes or even just so you don't have to change positions.
