«  Very high quality »

Published on 03/20/11 at 08:33
USA, aluminum handle.
This bass was designed for the anniversary of the brand.
Sold very expensive in Europe (it is worth it) I got very cheap from a seller on ebay USA.


UTILIZATION

Ergonomically correct

SOUNDS

Huge.
Crystalline rather than stamped (even if), extremely accurate even if we push ds infra.
Modern, huge sustain, typed but balanced

OVERALL OPINION

10/10 for me. It's personal sound. That's lower than expected.

FYI, I have a fretless (for world music, jazz, sounds very warm and stamped) and a fretted (for its modern +, tt which requires power and precision bass)
= Fretless ibanez studio retyped
= Fretted. Before arriving at my final choice with it, I had an Ibanez Soundgear, a patrician white. Okay the 2 heads but it is above
