Which bass to buy for recording?

[maddnotez]

Guitarist looking to get a bass for home recording.

Looking for the best bang for buck. Preferably under $500, can make exceptions. This is for home recordings and I play modern metal.

Ibanez has a good selection of active 6 string basses which are common in modern metal.

Yeah some of the guitars I was looking at was the SR series.

I was going to make a new thread about this but I am looking at the 405, 505 or 675. I am going to use my Musicians Friend card and I would love to save the money and get the 405 but would the 505 or 675 be a night and day difference in sound and quality?

I also noticed the string spacing adjustment options on the 675 (was going to make a new thread about this) but how does that even work? The nut is set where it is set, it confuses me to know you can adjust the string spacing at the bridge but what about the nut? Seems like it would not work out too well.

I would make a new post if you want to get that detailed. Since I play music man basses and don't have much experience with Ibanez except for the odd music store demos.

As per the bridge spacing, I wasnt aware Ibanez had that option, I know their standard is 16.5 mm spacing. If it brings the option it means you can make the string spacing bigger or smaller depending on the manufacturers limits. The nut spacing wont change much.

Thanks, I will make another thread. Wasn't sure if it would be better to keep it minimized into 1 without a noob clogging up the forum but you are right. Thanks
