Ibanez Gio - worth a try?

[socrates]

Hi - anyone have any experience of these yet?

http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/u_eb_page14.php?year=2014&cat_id=2&series_id=55&data_id=120&color=CL01

Fancy a cheapo 5 string for trying to learn/tinkering at home - am usually a Jazz/Precision bod so know it will be a leap but I know Ibanez are well respected...

any thoughts?

It is an Ibanez....it will be great value for money.

Personally I'd hold out and try and get a second hand SR505. Little more expensive but the step up in quality is huge.

I gig regularly with its predecessor, the SRA305. A couple of years ago, to avoid confusion, the SRA series was revamped into the Gio series. Great value for money.
