[quote name='Kes' post='1330544' date='Aug 7 2011, 12:12 AM']Hey all, I've been playing bass for around 5 years now (a couple of cover and originals bands) and my current bass (Ibanez GSR200) is about 4-5 years old... i've been playing around with lots of different basses recently trying to find a nice upgrade... The things i'm looking towards atm is a 5string (due to playing bits of light metal and rocky stuff and wanting to play around with a 5 string for a change) and looking at the SR range - i just have 2 questions about it.... 1. the body type seems to be the only difference in the range... ash/mahogany etc. is there much difference aside from that? (any preferences) 2. while I can afford the ~£500 price tag i'm also looking around for 2nd hand ones. which as they're older wouldn't have the new mid range frequency select switch. Would i be missing much? is it worth buying new at all if i shop around (mostly on here) for a well looked after one. Thanks for any replies constructive or trolling... Kes.[/quote] For that price range you can find used SR's high models. If you want a new bass I would suggest you to look at ATKs as you cannot go for brand new high end SRs. They are very versatile and suits most of the styles. I own an ATK and used to have SR (not high end though). I would say the neck of SRs are great (probably the best and easiest to play for my little hands). However, having comparing the versatility, the ATK is way better than the SR (again, for me). It would be great to have SR's neck on ATK I also suggest you to check second hand warwicks on the form. You can find a good one in your price range. Good Luck, G

Sold Federico my Jazz Bass years ago. Good communication, cash payment. He is a great guy to deal with. It was pleasure to meet you Fede.

Traded my spector + some cash to his warwick $$ years ago. It was pleasure to deal with him. He is kind and great guy to deal with.

Sent my bass guitar magazines. Very quick payment of the post costs. He is a great guy to communicate and deal.

As I dont have a good knowledge about precision basses I dont know if its all original. Just posted if any of the BCers interested in. p.s. "candy apple blue" sounds really weird though Cheers.
