MGR/Anonymous « Ibanez SR400 »
Published on 05/17/03 at 15:00I bought it at Music Warehouse for $500 with the case. I was only able to get this great price because the salesman had mislead me about a Jackson base guitar that I took back and exchanged for the SR400.
This base fits alomst everything I was looking for in a base. I have been playing for a while on a beginer base for about two and a half years. After very extensive research I decied this was it. Everybody I found gave good reviews.
The kneck is very nice and fast. The light amber color goes very well with the hardware. The controls are amazing! I am able to manipulate the sound from the extreme deep base to the classic slap style. For all the specific details just check out www.ibanez.com/guitars/guitar.asp?model=SR400&color=2. As far as the pickups and sound of the SR400 goes I have found nothing wantng.
If you are used to playing one of those really light bases, the SR400 will take a bit of adjustment. The neck needs some slight adjustments like all new bases in my experience. The only other complain I would have is that one of the knobs was not very well tightened, and after some abuse has come off. This is easily fixed though.
The quality and construction is great and I have nothing but praise for this product.
During my research I came upon a statistic that said that Ibanez was the most popular bass guitar maker. I was interested in another base at the time so I did not think much of it. Now I know why. The SR400 is well priced, has great sound, and as far as looks go, not many come close. I only rate this bas as a four star because I have yet to find a perfect base.
