    Yep, Ibanez deliver the goods. Consider also LTD by ESP. What's your budget, if you don't mind me asking?

    I recently bought a crazy cheap Ibanez and it's lovely in every way...sound & lookwise.

    bassist in Mike Got Spiked plays an Ibanez methinks, although not cheap, it's certainly a lovely bass.

    I don't call myself anything. Except "Jim" but that's only on weekends.

    Actually, I must get myself a nice wee bass. Recommend me something for about €250-€200, 4, 5 or 6 string.

    Hmmm, that's an option. A silly one but an option.

    Or I could just get a Fretted 6 string

    About €450 shipped, taxed and cased as far as I can reckon...

    Not worth it. No sir.

    Especially when you could get an Ibanez BTB-405QM HS for about the same money.
