When it comes to music, and you need a bass guitar. Which bass guitar do you choose? Well you might want to go and look around at a music shop for one. Not all music shops carry all the name brands. Most of which carry generic and a few expensive guitars. Of course online you can find what you want.
I might just have the guitar for you... The Ibanez SR700 Bass Guitar, features a 5-piece Jatoba/Bubinga neck, 4-string - lightweight design, balanced, comfort-countered body mahogany body/figured maple top; medium frets, Accu-cast B20 bridge, Bartolini MK1-4 neck pu Bartolini MK1-4 bridge pu, Bartolini MK1 3-band EQ with a thin neck. The price of this rock machine is $933.32.
The thing that caught my eye was the colors. Wood, polished, and black. I think all guitars should look like this, but that's my own opinion. Compared to other guitar brands, like Ricks and Fender, positive reviews about Ibanez, saying it's just as good. The quality of the guitar overall sounds very professional. If you're just beginning as a bass guitarist, and you need a bass guitar. You should go to a local music store, (if you're strapped for money, no worries, an owner might give you a deal).
First look around, if they have the SR700, play with it a bit, get used to the sound of the bass play. Try the other bass guitars as well. If you have a music sheet of your own use it. I want to make a point on prices of guitars. You do not need a costly guitar. Many people always think, "I need that $2,000 Fender!" Actually any brand will do. If you have enough charm, maybe you can get the SR700, cheaper.
