As for the 3 above. If it were me I'd go with the Peavey beacause I believe it's cheaper and I know it'll be a great bass (sound and feel). Any of the 3 would be great and  it'll be a long time before you out grow them.

[bassthumpa]

Try to find them at a local shop.  I personally found those SRs to have a very floppy B, didn't like it at all.  But you really should try them for yourself first hand.

I think I am going to do that...I will go to Guitar Center tonight a pluck away

[BimmerFan99]

Get a Schecter and put Barts in it.

Hey.  I have a Stiletto-5 stock.  How much did it cost you to swap out your EMGs for Barts?  I'm thinking about doing it sometime this summer if I have some extra cash.
A tech I took my bass to actually suggested I leave the EMG HZ pickups in there and get a new bass with Barts.  This Schecter is plenty enough for me for a long time, though.

[Keys410]

Ok. I went to GC...I am going with the Ibanez SR506...I liked the sound, plus the neck fit in my hand just right...Now I am praying the Lord makes away for that money lol

[wwtp207]

whats up
id say youll make the right choice. the sr's are nice pray and the lord will make a way. my first bass was a blessing i got a tobias 6 for $500 so the lord can always do great things. God bless

[bassthumpa]

Well, really the only "right" choice is whatever suits you best.  What's right for someone else isn't necessarily right for you, and vice versa.  That's why I always encourage people to go out and pick up the instrument for themselves, get a feel for it and hear it first hand.

I went back to GC again and I did notice the B was floppy...I don't like it anymore lol...I think either I will get a good 5 string or just cop a peavey grind

Don't be scared of the floppiness of B strings. Mainly, it's due to the string itself. Although I understand Ibbys come with Elixers, the bass may not be set up properly. Have the store set up the bass and try it out again. I owned an SR505 and gigged it for many years and the B string was just fine.
