I've just never found one I liked. Even the more high end ones feel like crap when I play them.

I know there are artists out there who use these (generally hard rock/heavy metal) but I just don't see why. Anybody had any GOOD experiences with them?Edit: Wow! That sparked quite a discussion today. OK so from what I can tell a lot of people like them for their thin, fast necks. I can totally see that being a legit selling point.Also I'd like to thank everyone for not beings dicks to one another actually having a real discussion about something that didn't turn in to a Rickenbacker circle jerk. I have a 5 and 6 string and I play them more than anything else. Here's the problem with trying out basses, especially Ibanez since they are so common, in stores: they are almost always incredibly poorly set up.

If you can go to Guitar Center and find an Ibanez with properly adjusted string action I would be genuinely surprised. Nearly every one I've played in stores had mile-high action (not to mention being usually pretty banged up/missing knobs) with ancient, filthy strings, yet the ones I own have perfect fretboards, excellent low action, and sound really good. Knowing how to set up your instrument is going to make life so much easier when it comes to getting an instrument you are happy with.My recommendation: buy one used from someone who actually played it (not someone 'thinking' they'd get into bass but lost interest) and you'll have a good head start on the setup (it will almost always be better than a factory-set bass), then tweak it to your preference. It's a cheaper and smarter approach in my experience.
