MGR/Anonymous « Ibanez SR400 »
Published on 06/27/01 at 15:00I bought my SR400 from Ritchie's Music in Rockaway, NJ for $375.00.
The entire Soundgear series is extremely versatile, though I went straight to the 400 for the black hardware (chrome is not my thing). The Dynamix P/J combo is great, offering the sound of a jazz bass, a precision bass, or a combination of both. Along with the three band graphic equalizer, the sound can be customized for almost any style of music without using effects. The SR400 has a fast neck, not too wide, but not too narrow. The rosewood fretboard sounds great too. The body itself is sleek and sexy. Made of solid wood, it is relatively light due to its small size.
The SR400 is a well built bass. Although a bolt-on neck, it is on there pretty well and not likely to have any problems. The tuners, nut, and the rest of the hardware ore of outstanding quality for the price of the axe. The only upgrade I would reccomend to anyone is Schaller Strap-Locks.
I love my Soundgear. I actually like it more than the Rickenbacker's I've played.
