2nd Bass! I'm back!

[GolfCart]

Hello fellow LFM!

  Well here I am again, I've been learning so much from LFM: Thanks a lot!  I don't reply much or say much, however I do read a lot of what you all have to say!  I'd have to say 90% of my bass learning has come from the LGM community, so thanks for that!  Well here's the question.  I think I'm ready for my 2nd bass.  (but i have NO clue what to look for)  we play a lot of shout as well as contemporary.  I've been looking at the sr505, but I'm not sure if i want to go with another Ibanez.  I'm really not looking to spend over 800, but of course the cheaper the better!  =)  I'm looking for this bass to last me for awhile.  I know this probably isn't important, but its almost a MUST, I love the dull wood look. lol.  So of course, this next bass has to be some type of dull look style. =P  Well guys thanks a lot in advance for advice and tips.  I'll try to get a video up sometime to show you what ya'll have taught me!  =P  Thanks!

I would say MTD kingston series, you can pick up a decent one for under $800. They play well and have the Buzz Feiten tuning system. For a Korean production guitar they play very nicely and have a rich sound. But then again I am biased toward MTD

Hi GolfCart. LGM has helped me develop alot as a bassist too.

But there seems to be a problem here..

It appears that, you have called LGM, LFM twice.....now you should know that MrEdabass doesn't tolerate spelling mistakes of such a degree. Now I'm going to have to bring justice to this situation. I'm sorry but this is for your own good.

Take it away boys

Maybe he's looking for LearnFunkMusic.com.

I apologize for my mistake.  I'm not sure how LFM got it there, the only thing I can think of (I used to play A LOT of world of warcraft, dunno if any of you are familiar with it, but LFM = "looking for more").  I really can't think of any other place it came from. lol. 

Anyways, I was in Guitar Center yesterday and played the sr505, I love the way that bass feels.  My piano player insists that I get a Kingston, but I'm not sure I want to go that far right now.  After some thought, if I buy the sr505, I can afford other little goodies.  Anyways, I'm still thinking all this over.  Thanks much all you LFM people!!! oops I mean LGM!  =P 
God Bless

After some thought, research, and playing of many basses my decision was, of course, placed on the SR505.  It was right in my budget and feels awesome!  So far, I have NO complains.  I picked it up on Saturday, and have been playing hours a day trying to get used to the 5 string.  It's my first 5 String so it's a little awkward, but soon enough I'l have it! 
Cheers!

Nice I can't seem to get around the feel of and Ibanez SR for some reason but I glide on the BTB which is less glideable than the SR, which makes no sense, the only explanation, MrEdabass's special stuff lol.

Yeah, that I've learned this weekend.  Picking a bass is almost like trying on a shoe; don't really know how comfortable a Bass can be until you pick up the right one.
