Hey Everyone:
A couple of the music sites has great deals on bass guitars right now. American Musical Supply and ZZounds Music are closing out 2 Ibanez models. The EBD700 4 string, and SRX 650 4 string bass. These are previous years models, and they have outstanding deals on them. They list at 866 and 733 respectively, and can be had for a paltry 349 and 299. When they were current models, their street price each was around 600.
I just picked up a 5 string version of the EBD at ZZounds. The bass I purchased has a beautiful mahogany finish, and records very well. This bass arrived set up percectly, but I did have to tweak it a touch for my taste. Thought I would pass this bit of info along in case anyone was looking for a fine bass to add for their studio work. After all, its not everyday deals like this come around.
