Members ontherooftop Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 i play mainly funk and 60's rock (mostly beatles and such) and im not really into metal or hardcore things like that so being in my position would yall get the edb400 or the srx390? or if yall have any better suggestions in the 400 dollar range please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jazz Ad Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 Definitely NOT the EDB. It has a dark, modern tone that won't fit.Actually for what you play I'd recommend a classic, passive instrument.Something like a mexican Fender P or J-Bass.

Members Bogster Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yeah, what JazzAd, said. Much as I like Iby's, I'd go with something like a Jazz bass over the two you listed. Especially the SRX. Great bass, but definitely geared more for rock/metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ontherooftop Posted January 8, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 are there any iby's geared towards jazz? i really like their smaller bodies and general setup over fenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DevilRaysFan Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 After reading both of your threads, look into a G&L L-2000 or ASAT -- if ya cant afford a USA, get a Tribute -- If ya cant afford a Tribute, get a used one. The Tributes and USAs sound IDENTICAL The reason being is I can emulate just about any bass on my ASAT (L-2000 witha tele body)..It can sound like a Jazz, a P, an active Jazz or P, it can emulate P-J setups, and a similar tone to a StingRay can be gotten out of one..... Theres very few basses (like a Ric or early Alembic) that it can't imitate...Plus it has a zillion other sounds you can get out of it For funk and rock, and any other style, its the all purpose Swiss Army bass..........

Members been_effected Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 If you're really looking for an Iby I'd be looking either at the high end Soundgear range, which can get quite dub-ish at times, or at a BTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lug Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 I have a similar bass, the SRX505, they sound excellent, play excellent and are priced excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members januaryscar Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 Ibanez ATK300. However if its the slimmer neck you prefer, try finding a used 90's one - they have slimmer necks much more like the soundgears... the current models have broader necks like a stringray. That being said though, the 90's models are heavier in the weight dept compared to the reissues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 90s ATK (which I have 2 of) are fat width and thin. NOTHING like a SoundGear; which is narrow and thin. Atk necks are Like this: Stingray necks are like this, Nothing at all like any Ibanez I've ever played: In fact, SR's are about as unique a neck shape as a Warwick is; which nothing is like either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
