EDB550s' 5pc Wenge / Bubinga neck construction combines strength and Exceptional Stability with extraordinary playability.

UTILIZATION

I've had 4 hours. So at first sight:

Handle very fine, very pleasant to play, not varnished.
light, fatigue does not feel too after 4 hours)

SOUNDS

A large panel of the circuit is available thanks to the active preamp. The slap funk to trip hop big vroom. Its very accurate compared to other basses in the same range

OVERALL OPINION

Not too good bass, notice to fill, but for now, very excited. 549 euros. I tried a lot, and the tops spring edb550 share the range of sounds it can produce, accuracy and ease of playing it aporte, even compared to lower the upper range.

In my case, this bass was made in Indonesia ......, it has a neck 24 frets jumbo, she deu Type Jazz Bass pickups SEYMOUR DUNCAN brand, but the information has which model .......
The whole is caincaillerie Ibanez, imitation brass and chrome. There are 4 knobs:
- Bass boost / cut
- Treble boost / cut
- Balance microphone bass / treble
- Master

The neck is thin, 5-ply successively wenge and bubinga ....... COOL !!!!!

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice (but not varnished smooth flow anyway!), Access to acute, as all the ibanez is easy, this bass is lightweight easy to use, 5 hours of non stop stud standing or sitting do not scare me.

My faith is quickly finds a good sound !!!!!

SOUNDS

I personally think it can make the happiness of a great monbre typre of music (I have personal jazz, blues / rock, pop and salsa ..)
I use it with an SWR amp and pedals but truebypass ......

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for four months, a major defect (q <ui for me is not one ...)

- This bass is painted anywhere, then all the months I change my strings on the one hand, and when I do, I want to make it beautiful with oil of lemon to maintain it and revive the luster of the wood, if not for keeps: no other product is required ....

CHARACTERISTICS for I leave you'll see on the site ^ ^ Ibanez or read the post because I too lazy Previous brands of ... ! ^ ^

UTILIZATION

For me, the handle is trs enjoyable, I got quite late.
CHAC in acute is more than adequate, it is trslgre, which for me is its main advantage ^ ^, the form makes me melt every time I see her on the stand lol ^ ^, but this is subjective trs.

SOUNDS

For my part I play in a group of nomtal, I do agree with BEAD (Si Mi R), for my store, because yes the 5-string is not my DLIR ^ ^. the legalization of the low possde a wide pallet of sound, by adjusting the pickup balance, bass boost and treble boost.
I think this bass can fit lots of music style, it's not the bass is the bass player ^ ^.
I play on an amp ashdown electric blue 180 to 180 watts and sound satisfies me !!!!!!!!!
I am delighted!

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using ending for six months, and loving jazz bass sound, with a particular grain, I am ready!
The particular feature I like most is the Duncan pickups and the weight of the instrument.
The report quality price seems right.
I highly recommend this bass. ^ ^

Carctristiques techniques
I will not repeat it all here. Check out Ibanez directly on the site if you want more dtails. You'll find close-up photos of each party.
It just trslgre (it's a feather compared a jazz bass or even a Squier) and very easy to play. I started the low six months ago and I soon was able to rgaler.
One default: it comes with strings that personally I find lame (Elixir pulling 45/100). Prvoyez to change by DR or Dean Markley Blue Steel (a bit more expensive but this is good) and take the time to rgler at the bridge because mine just curled to beginners.

UTILIZATION

The look
she is gorgeous! In any case, fans of Eternal diffrent forms and irremovable fender Jazzbass agree. The finish is perfect, but a rgal. I love it.

The handle
Channel 24 frets. Trs of good quality. Composed of two types of wood (bubinga and jatoba) is composed of five spices EDB type 4. It is beautiful but also very comfortable. Easily take control of it is relatively late. I got used to rev quickly.

SOUNDS

Microphones
2 pickups Ibanez / Duncan (JB in the neck and the bridge por JN) assets. It sends many thanks especially on the slap qualiseur (Bass Boost / Cut and Treble Boost / Cut) but you can have a more muted jazz type. Balance between the two microphones Obviously well. I also jou pdalier on a friend with a distortion is not bad either. A range of its wide offering some flexibility in terms of style and taste.

OVERALL OPINION

OVERALL RATING
a big fat 9 / 10 for all of his work. I use it on an amp HARTKE A 100 (which I will critique a next time) and rings of hell, at least in styles that I like to know funk rock fusion.
I recommend this bass is a great value quality price since it is found around 500 in all good shops.
