Portrait of Tracy, comparing old and new, part two

Part two of my bass comparison. Part one consisted of my long time musical companion an Ibanez SR405 five string. This video is the same song I played on that, but on my newly acquired Ibanez SR500 four string. As you'll probably notice by the increased amount of errors, I've never owned a four string before. I learned on and have owned only five strings. So, this is a new and interesting experience to me. I don't think it's as easily noticeable in the video, seeing as I didn't use a very high quality sound card to record with, this time around. But, I LOVE the tone of this new bass. It makes me a little hesitant to go back and play my five string. Though, I'm still more accustomed to the string spacing on my five, so I'll probably still hold onto it. But anyway, hope you enjoy. As always, feel free to leave (preferably friendly) comments.

You can always get an SR505 if you really miss that 5th string. :/

Yeah, I've thought about it. It would be nice to have the full arsenal of the series. But, now that I've gotten used to the 500 and the 506, i barely play the 405 anymore. I plan on making some more videos eventually, now that I'm more acquainted. Maybe some original stuff too. Thanks for the comment though. Didn't think anyone was watching my stuff anymore.
