Bass forum, it's been awhile. Oh, how I've missed thee.
Anywho, my local guitar shop has something used in, finally. It's a 5 string Ibanez Sound Gear. I'm not sure of the specific model, but I'll try to find that out, as I'm sure it helps. It's gorgeous. Dark, natural finish. My bass teacher commented on it saying it looked like a Warwick. He says it sounds great too, however I haven't played it plugged in. The pickups are humbuckers. I was told they're good, but don't know what brand or anything. I'll try to figure out some more of the unknowns at my lesson this Friday. It's only $335, which to me seems like a good price for a nice looking 5 string bass, regardless.
I think I have enough for it, and may be interested in buying it. Feedback would help and be appreciated though. Also, any ways to convince my dad that someone who's only been playing bass for 5 months could possibly need a new bass would be great. I've made sure to tell him about the addition of a 5th string for the added range, and that different basses produce different kinds of sounds.
The more I think about it, the more I really want this bass. It's so nice looking, and I bet it sounds fantastic. And only $335. What does everyone else think?
