Manufactures ... guess ... ... a hint: it's not the usa is not the core is not Tawan ... Won China! I start wondering if there are still things that RE are not made in China these days ... Ms. Olympics!
Good short, the craft back ...

Technical description (since no one has yet set)

Micro HBsAb
-2N (handle) + ACHB2B (bridge)
- Dorbr hardware /> - table, wicker covers the bottom and Saddle
- Mahogany neck and stocky al AGB4
- Rosewood 22 frets
- Gibraltar IIIB bridge and tailpiece Quik Change III B

The rglages: simple! One volume knob, one tone and a switch ...

1 point pnalit for manufacturing in china ... (I dare esprer Ibanez does not work for children ...: s)

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable ... the bass is plutt good balance, making it faster as it nosed over many MODELS ...
Access in acute is quite simple even if it has seen better ... but I chipotte ... You just have to have small fingers boudinns ... ... More srieusement, this bass has a good ergonomics gnrale trs ...

SOUNDS

Do you get a good sound easy?

Yes ... the sound is the first ds net connection and, unlike previous ones opinion (not positive trs ...), I think the fact that there is so little on the low CONTRL its advantage is ...
I have tried many MODELS ... sometimes more expensive ... sometimes too expensive! Sr is that by 1000 euros in a low, there will be a better "panel" ... through 1500, we can even afford an analog low ...
Here we make a low 400 euros and it is true that the Tone knob is not effective trs ... at least on the neck pickup (although after some testing of connections, I have found more effective ... in any of RSAC Manir much clearer!)! The microphone body, he makes us hear the change when turning the knob ... and without correction ... just a little tender ear ...
In fact, to change her, the switch is the most effective ...

I tried one that I really Cort AIM ct "sound range" but I did not like the Aesthetics ... and then, when I saw the small label indicating the function of 5 knobs, namely, volume 1 and 2 pickups and eq for bass / middle / trebble ...
Question: Is it useful to have a low EQ on knowing that today are found on all the amps and that it is almost the same thing when we go through a mixing desk? ... I got my rponse ... and my "research" has Droulez differently from that point ...
Everything has to say that yes, this bass is not a sound palette trs tense ... but it sounds good without correction ... and as I make it through an amp simulator that plugs directly into my Mackie, I have a sound palette trs tense and more than ample for my needs ... and, as a composer, I work in styles that can be trs DIFFERENT!
And unlike what is said by the two reviews, I bought it for use "main" directs Jazz / trip hop, and this low Integrates perfectly with my compos ...
I manage to get the roundness as well as an over the lens ... punch for the mild slap as for jazz ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week ... tested in several configurations of connection ... She is doing well plutt trs in most cases!
The advantage: its looks and the lack of an eq, which I think is plutt binding ... imagine live! Move from one song to another when not used for the same rglages Both ... although you can get this type of CONTRL tapping foot ...
Its less: Button Tone REALLY effective "naked" on the microphone body!
MODELS I have tried many before you buy, but all of a c'tait Premire tested ...
In 250 euros, I tried an Ibanez acoustic-lctro, the Epiphone Viola of a jazz bass and a little known brand ... The Ibanez silent but well less than the Crafter I'm talking about below ... La Viola is actually surprising trs ... its body is hollow which Confre him a lightweight with good rsonnance ... but the fact nosedive!
That said, I hsit qualitprix because the report is on the low trs good!
In the same price range as the ATB, I tried a Cort, a Crafter acoustic-lctro (which I keep in memory ...) and four other models which m'chappent brands ... but perhaps to the fact that they n'taient not "unforgettable" ...
I also tried other models more expensive ... a Fender Jazz bass in (which I find too "flashy" too bright for a jazz bass ... and the price is multiplied by 4 compared to Ibanez), a low type Gretsch, who had a good sound but a sound palette Reduces even more because, as the curves, even too ... and no way to find the punch! (This low, whose brand m'chappe also Coutat just under 900 euros in ... Gretsch is over 2000! But has the ring! Is clear that if j 'had had the budget ...)
And Warwick ... but not well adapted to my needs ... or my ears!
So, in conclusion, I think the two previous ones opinions are subjective trs ... and I agree with the first DPOS ...
For that price, I do it again this choice without hsiter ... with more than 2000 euros in my pocket, I took the Gretsch ...
Voilou ... enjoy!
