Warwick Rockbass Corvette Classic 4

recently got one in hand - amazing speedy neck - clear tone, but gain could have been better - 35" i.e. longer scale length can be a challenge for some bassists - heavy weight

Ibanez K5 Fieldy Signature

- Speedy neck - round tone - poor hardware

- great value for money - great hardwares - the tone is a bit clicky, i.e. missing the midrange due to Fieldy's preference

Ibanez SR505

Spector Legend 5 Alex Webster Signature

Fernandes Tony Campos Signature Tremor 5-String Deluxe

Ashdown Engineering Perfect Ten

Active & Passive Monitors

midrange monitors that suits home recording needs, so might be running a bit short on low frequencies, but thats still quite a quality for the bucks heats up too much power LEDs almost invisible

Aria 215ce

Acoustic-Electric Guitars

nice bright and mid sound, quite full plus comes with a nice preamp/eq and Graphtech nut the only limitation might be the top is not flat (not sure if its too thin to fit in the budget), not sure if its the model since all the guitars that I checked had the same issue

Bartolini MK1

Came in stock with my Ibanez SR500, which I used to replace the ADX5 pickup on my Ibanez K5. It blended nicely with my K5 (older model with Padauk top) with fathomless soothing lows and tight midrange (exceptionally for single coil type) . I still find them every now and then as used at Reverb... interestingly Bartolini won't sell/list them on their website but more than 50% of their Ibanez artist roster mentions of using these

Ibanez SR305 Bass

The neck is so fast and smooth... the operation is easy apart from that sexy look...great bang for price... perfect for intermediate players

Ibanez SR1200TT

this is a discontinued model, don't be confused with the current ibanez sr1200 premium model neck through, golden hardwares eq similar to current ibanez 3 (vari-mid) band eqs bridge more suitable for funk players as a bit close towards the neck rather than the common ibanez sr models

along with the hardware this has plugins as pod farm and gear box, and especially I'm a big fan of gearbox, can save tons of money to buy plugins yet deliver you decent tone for bass and guitars
