Fender P/J-bass or Ibanez Prestige SR1005?

[Faithless]

Thanks for your kind offer, Dave, but, guys..

I ain't lookin' for Ibanez again. I'm now far more to Fender's side, so could anyone say few words about this thing ?:

i doubt you'll get more versatile than the ibanez. i get great funky tones (i can't stand jazz, so i've not tried that one out) from my SR500, surely you can get better ones with the SR1005?

I think it also comes down to whether you really love 'neck through' basses...

I find them aesthetically wonderful, not sure how it affects the sound though ;-)

Then again there's those of us who must simply have 'Fender' on the headstock.

For me there's no contest, even though the SR Prestige costs more, it's worth it.

I've no problem if the OP wants to downgrade to a Fender - he should not feel he has to because of the music he plays.

Ibanez make some great stuff but get the Fender, it'll hold its money better

Doesn't anyone read a thread before posting? The OP already has a top of the range Ibanez.

[EdwardHimself]

^ no he doesn't.

Well, I have the Fender in question. It's a lovely bass, ever thing is perfect, stays in tune so well, I've only tuned it like 5 times in a couple of months. The only problem is that it is fairly quiet, and isn't active. Where as the Ibanez which is a little bit more expensive (If its the one I'm thinking of), but is Active.

So, as I tought it could happen, I've started playing jazz and funk ( rock didn't go anywhere, still got it's band), I'm now thinking of changing instrument - sell Ibanez SR1005, and take more versalite instrument. As I'm looking for 5 string 24 fretted bass, it becomes sort of problem, when looking at Fender's Jazz Basses, buuut, things happen, and they released 2007 model:

It has passive/active switch, Duncan pickups and other interesting things. It looks, this model came for me, but I'm waiting for your opinions, guys, on this thing.[/quote]
Yes he does!
