MGR/Joel from DEATH BY MONKEYS « Ibanez EDC700 »
Published on 12/18/01 at 15:00I bought this bass about a year ago at Woodwind and Brasswind in South Bend, IN for 700 with case.
This bass is the best axe I own. I also have an Ernie Ball Sterling, Fender American P-bass, and a '64 Gibson SG bass. Out of all of these this is the best one, the tones that it can create is unlimited with two mid knobs, a bass knob, and a high end knob, along with the awesome blend between the pickups. The bass is also the lightest one i own and is the best balanced. Also with the bass being luthite, climate barely, if any, affects the sound of the bass.
I've never used this bass yet for recording, but with the sound it makes live, i don't see how it can't record good. The only thing that i have found bad with this bass is that the input jack came loose after about 8 months of playin punk shows with it, so it wasn't unexpected, but all it needed was a little tightening. Other than that, the bass is awesome!!!!!!!
This bass is one of the strongest basses i own too. I play in a punk band, where sometimes we go crazy up on stage, and the luthite is much stronger than the wood of any other bass for scratch resistence, and breaking.
If you are looking for a great sounding bass that will hold up to extreme abuse for a long time i would highly recommend this bass.
