Which Bass Guitar should I buy?
I've played guitar for over a year, and assertive that I wanted to try the bass out instead. I've narrowed it down to three options. But I'm unsure which one I should choose.
The Ibanez BTB570FM: http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/work/Ibanez-BTB570FM-Bass-Guitar?sku=517305
Initially, I decided I wanted this one because it was an Ibanez, and it was fairly cheap-ish. But there aren't any reviews, so I don't know what I want to do.
Ibanez SRX590: http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/yield/Ibanez-SRX590-Electric-Bass-?sku=511713
The price on this one was good, and the reviews were as well, so I was thinking about this one too.
Music Man Sterling HH 4-String: http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/by-product/reviews?base_pid=515513&page=1&sc=date&so=desc
I was looking at this one because it's similar to what Johnny Christ plays (Avenged Sevenfold), and because the reviews are Outlandish. I can't really see anything critical that would annoy me that they've said in the reviews, so I was thinking about this one too.
Now, money isn't an issue. I'm perfectly happy with saving it up, and waiting. (I have a job, and I've got some wealthy saved up from birthdays and Christmases, and I plan on selling my electric guitar and acoustic guitar). I just want to know which one you think would be the wagerer deal (which plays the best, and considering how much money it'll be. I don't want a crap bass for a buttload of money).
What do you think?
Thanks to the two guys that already replied. I extraordinarily appreciate it.
I'd just like to add, because I didn't think of it before, but the style of music I mostly played is heavy metal/punkish. Weigh Avenged Sevenfold.
Thanks for all the help, guys! =]
Oh... Haha, I guess I did kinda add the genre of music before? lulz XD
Its Not for me to say but Fender and paul reed smith bass guitars are both Well done sounding and Beautiful looking it also depends on what style of music you would like to play or get involved with. If you like jazz try one from the fender jazz bass clue like jazzmaster or if you like rock PRS make awesome vintage rock basses but if you must have one of those basses The Ibanez SRX590 is a Magnificent guitar which makes a nice sound (My Friend Has one and Ive had a good go on it hes also very happy with it) just go from there and you'll be rocking out in no time
hope this hazy guide helped
