well they are both good for the price, but i would save up some more and invest in a bass that will last you a long time. the OLP's have a reputation for falling apart, but they have a great sound and the grinds dont have much in the way for sound options IMO. if you saved up a little more and got a ibanez sr400 you would be much happyer in the long run.

I'd go for the grind and upgrade it.

Yeah, what Tryxx said. Peavey's are rock-solid basses, and are great for upgrading.

Replacing parts of the bass for ones of higher quality. Such as the pickups, the bridge, the tuners, etc.

I think Low has a good point, that one takes the prize. Whats retail/street for one of those?
