All user reviews of 4/5 for the Ibanez EDC700

Local music shop $600.00 with case

This bass is very light for its size. It fits the contours of your body well, the neck is thin and plays well. The eq is infinately adjustable.

The nut on the 1/4" input is always loose. Some areas on neck lack sustain.

Construction is overall excelent. I have had this guitar for over a year and it still looks and plays like new. Never had any problems.

I think this is a good intermideate instrument. The overall quality is good and you cant beat the looks.

UTILIZATION

This is a handle "highway". For those who want to s'eclatter slapper, the handle is perfect. Not too wide, even with my little finger is a joy!

- Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
Perfectly! Tested including Scar Tissue Red Hot.

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
The shape is a matter of taste! I find it modern. Slight problem without

- Do you get easily a good sound ...?
This bass is versatile as desired. The body does not luthite a great sustain, but we can do with it, slamming the heavy to gloss through the round style jazz and of course his favorite the funck / fusion. It seems to me that the bridge pickup makes better.

SOUNDS

- Are they suitable for your style of music?
For the alternative rock and a touch of fusion is nickel.

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I use a Yamaha BS150 (this bass and this amp will make them happy slapmen) and effect Digitech BP 200 for the chorus an octave wah or distortion

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
Clearly my config is not done to make very bold. Balanced sound and well cleaned. Easy to slam shut.

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
My favorite settings:
bass a little above the center
Acute central
Medium just above the center frequency gain and more treble side. If you go down the very low frequency of medium ago by crazy drummer since everything starts to vibrate!
Finally, the balance 1 / 3 2 / 3 innings easel.

Other interesting to slap config:
Balance 1 / 3 rack 2 / 3 stick
Medium-dug grave and acute desire and a little above the center

OVERALL OPINION

- For how long have you been using it?
7 years

- What thing do you like most/least about it?
The best: handle highway
Minimum: the lack of sustain Ah and then one day I had to change my volume pot. For it to have the cross and the banner! Thank you Ibanez Europe ....

- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Today the most interesting because of its very low today typed. With her in the studio can do everything.

- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
My word yes.

From the perspective of the characteristics just mentioned, I simply add that the settings are very (too) many with double sliders, this leaves both a lot of adjustment possibilities, but also a lot of opportunity to lose initially.
However, it's still nice to have all options at hand.
I found the bass very strong (but I'm careful) and the handle has never flinched in 6 years.

UTILIZATION

The instrument is enjoyable, its material of construction is a little different. He must love that I never shocked, for my part.
The neck is rather thin.
Ergonomics is good even if the use, the knobs are not extremely comfortable to handle.
But it manages to find its settings quickly.

SOUNDS

This bass can still cover a wide range of sounds. This is its main advantage in my opinion.
The beginner will either find the sound that matches his style.
Coupled with a Trace Elliot for example, we get a bright sound without any difficulty.

OVERALL OPINION

Used 6 years I was very satisfied. I'm just barely separated.
Its price / quality ratio is excellent, it can go a long way without feeling restricted.
It can grow in peace and take the time to have real requirements. It lacks perhaps that nice big pickups, but the original ones will fill the bass not too difficult but still like to have a precise sound.
In my opinion and because of these findings is an excellent instrument for a versatile bass player wants to leave his instrument for a beginner bass active most advanced spray without his wallet!
