MGR/Paolo Snaporaz « Ibanez BTB700 »
Published on 09/17/02 at 15:00Bought this one from a guitar shop in Brussels for some 1000, after having tried out a few actually to test some effects, I walked out with an effect AND the bass...
Very good compromise between natural sound of passive pickups and active equalization. Great sound, easy playability, nice finish, high quality features (pickups, tone controls, bridge, ...)
The long horns are not too much to my taste, but hey that's minor. I was never really into looks of the gear I'm playin'. The sound is much more important.
The sound is OK when it's slapped, but not as funky as a Warwick...
Very good quality overall. I was quite disappointed that the production of this 700 model was stopped in Japan and replaced by the (not a lot) cheaper 400 model in Korea. I thought it should be the same, but when I tried a BTB400 in a shop, I was really disappointed about the sound, tone control quality and general impression of cheapness in comparison to the BTB700.
It's a real valuable bass with a great and versatile sound. Nothing is cheap about it and it's a lot of fun to play. I am wondering how the deerer 1000 model sounds...
