Back-up Bass help! (Ibanez)

[Christian Sturgess]

Hi all,

I need of a back up bass in case my main one goes out of action, as my band are gigging with high demand now! I have 4 basses, but only 1 5 string and will need another one due to tunings.

I've been looking around online for the past week or so, and one stands out for me within my price range -

I'm gonna go down to my local dealer within the next week and try it out, though I've played a similar Ibanez before and enjoyed the sound. Has anyone owned this model? Or have any better options? The dealer has it on offer for £540.

Cheers!

Christian

I've had one of these for years now and it's become my 'go to' instrument.
If it got stolen or broken then I'd replace it with exactly the same, can't fault it.

Great basses! The only other suggestion I would have is to look out for a used Yamaha TRB1005 or Lakland Skyline 55-01.
