Bass advice :D

I got some money now and I need a bass

I'm thinking about getting this - http://uk.yamaha.com/products/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/el-basses/rbx/rbx375/

What do you dudes (the ones who have played/used it) think of this bass? I just need something that will sound reasonable, nothing brilliant.

Buy my bass, Spector 5 string with 2 EMG 40DC's @ 18v, better investment.

Used on my EP so you know how it sounds.

In all seriousness I would not touch that bass with a ten foot bargepole. I know two guys who have had the humbucker fitted RBX's and both have had them go shit after a year or two. Some kind of electronic's problem that makes them sound really muddy and horrible.

I know it's not a 5 string, but for me THIS bass is the absolute winner in the under £300 category. Hell it sounds better than a Fender Mexican imo (at least with the stock pickups)

I was just thinking the same and I'm considering this one: http://www.thomann.de/se/ibanez_btb705dxtkf.htm

Ibanez BTB's are held in VERY high regard round here. Chances are if I pick up a 5 string at some point it's gonna be a BTB.

There are loads of Squier Vintage Modified video's on YouTube.
And it gets raving reviews from serious mags.
