I went to my local GC and played the Ibanez GSR105ex and it to my ears beat out all the basses I played that day (Epiphone Thunderbird, Squier VM p bass, Ibanez SR300, and others) I'm steping up from a Yamaha RBX170 so I know what a good bass is when I play it. The GSR105ex like the Ibanez has a nice black finish, smooth frets, and superior versatility. I admit to being a metal head so a 5 string is sort of a no brainer but, all the ones I ever played had weak pickups or akward string spacing this GSR105ex has neither it's a nice wide flat neck reasonable spacing and a killer pickup that kick out major lows so this thing is a beast but, it can work for anything just use your amp settings and see what you get either way you get a monster.

I've only been playing bass for roughly 6 months. With that being said, the neck has good playability and isnt to thick. makes it easy to play the low b string. Has a good sound and for the price you can't go wrong. Running it through all kinds of amps it still sounds good. I've dropped it a few times with no dings in it.

For a cheap 5 string bass, this is a great way to go.
