All basses feel differently, even ones of the same make, but your hands will conform to the bass after a couple of weeks of playing on it. As long as you are comfortable with it and the strings aren't an inch off the neck, you are good to go. However, what I do consider strongly is the way the instrument sounds. My personal favorite bass tones have always come from basses made from heavier materials. For some reason, I've always thought that Ibanez's don't have the warmth that I like in their tone. The same goes for Rickenbacker. But, if you want a bass that sounds like its being played out of a guitar amp with a vibrator, feel free and buy an Ibanez or a Rickenbacker. I really dig the tone of a vintage Fender J-Bass, plus the neck is robust enough to handle heavy gauge strings. I play on an Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 4 string w/ 130 gauge strings dropped to B tuning. It has a really punchy low end with lots of warmth on the A and D strings for noodling. What are you going to use your new bass for? Well, I love my four string and will never get rid of it, ever. But I definitely want a 6 string because there are some songs we have that I feel like I could do a fancy tapping part to, but would sound better with the added c-string. If at all possible, I'd like a bass that would at least sound somewhat similar to my bass (ESP C-304, neck-thru with EMG 40HZs), but if I find something else that I'm feeling I'll make an exception. I'm leaning more towards Warwick right now, but all of the ones I've played have sounded decent, but the strings are dead. If I can find one with a fresh set of strings I might be impressed.
