Help me choose an Ibanez bass

[saarangnarayan]

I never liked the thin necks

That's actually exactly what I like about Ibanez! Different strokes for different folks, I guess!

My jam is any P bass. I hit a home run every time with that c neck.

Haven't made a purchase so far because, well, life got in the way and I'm putting off any major gear purchase until next year or so. But yeah, completely with you re. mulsticale basses. There really is a lot of benefit in having that extra tension on the lowest string. But a 5 string might be a bit much for me, though I haven't played one in my life. The SRMS720 does have my interest piqued because it seems to be virtually the only 4-string multiscale bass that I can find. But the compactness of the EHB stuff is enticing, too. Good thing is I don't have to make a decision immediately!

Spector also has the NS Dimension in a 4-string! Solar also makes a baritone but that’s also 35”.

I believe that’s only 35.5” though.

I’d strongly prefer to just stick with a 4-string and A is as low as I plan on getting so I’ll most likely try to get my hands on one of these first to see if it can handle going down to A.

Not sure if it’s been tossed out yet, but Yamaha and Fernandes make awesome basses that tend to get slept on.

We need less sleeping on, but more playing.

Especially if your string end trimming game needs work.
