    Ibanez SRX-500

    Ibanez SRX500Published on 10/09/03 at 15:00
    Bought From The Guitar, Amp and Keyboard Centre online for £319 (GBP)

    The bass feels very comfortable, its one of those 'next-gen' types with a slim neck and active electronics. Two active humbuckers, volume, tone, bass cut/boost and treble cut/boost. Full 24 fret neck that is extremely slim and fast. It gives the full spectrum of sounds from a low bassy rumble that literally shakes the walls to a high trebly almost nasal sound. It is sort of a compilation, looks like an abstract jazz bass, has a new style neck and sounds kinda like a Stingray with the bridge pick up. Also, it can sound like a Warwick Thumb a certain settings.

    Nothing realy, perhaps the fact that the higher strings sound …

    Bought From The Guitar, Amp and Keyboard Centre online for £319 (GBP)

    The bass feels very comfortable, its one of those 'next-gen' types with a slim neck and active electronics. Two active humbuckers, volume, tone, bass cut/boost and treble cut/boost. Full 24 fret neck that is extremely slim and fast. It gives the full spectrum of sounds from a low bassy rumble that literally shakes the walls to a high trebly almost nasal sound. It is sort of a compilation, looks like an abstract jazz bass, has a new style neck and sounds kinda like a Stingray with the bridge pick up. Also, it can sound like a Warwick Thumb a certain settings.

    Nothing realy, perhaps the fact that the higher strings sound almost underpowered, expect to use the eq, a lot.

    Seems very well built, GAK had to order one in specially, transport it all the way up the country, leave it in a cold warehouse for two days and the finally tell me where it was so I could go get it, and it was in tune when I got it home! Feels very solid, think it will stand up to my style of playing (smashie-smashie.)

    Extremely good, will reccomend to anyone who is looking for an extremely versatile and powerful bass. What is the same price? Epiphone flying vees or explorers? Squiers! The only thing that even close are Yamaha's. Even the Fender Mexicos dont feel as solid. If you have eyes that want a Stingray or a Warwick, but a wallet that doesnt, buy it. Its that simple.

    a little more done everything sympatike with the thumb rests on the microphones for a game with more fingers PRCI

    SOUNDS

    The bte a question dveloppe its pretty impressive, the 2 large pickups (ki are magnifike) are active and send good bass heavy and very well rounded with a good ki ODB-3 distortion come keep her very heavy and little prsdfinie (drive back ... so we can not have it)
    his palette is quite varied, but all the same orientation to a heavy sound
    mtal for the rock o reggae, it is exelente!

    [

    OVERALL OPINION

    was going to do a year and a half ke I use it and my great misfortune I have ending for me if the bailiff Sparer help me (and yes ... music and wealth do not pair for the poor little musician ke us)
    I like everything about her, aa t really love at first sight, I bought way back to a store to look a little while and if I start, I would do without hsitations
    For other models try to include at Ibanez, sound and sttike that really won me low, APRS is a matter of taste.
    It's worth to look at it ...!

    Wow, this is a tuc ouf of this bass, it's been 1 hour that I play with and I am Acroceras is beautiful handle is perfect, the pickups too, violin making. some small default to wear at the violin but it does not matter.

    The handle: The frets are perfect medium, it has 24cases, the head is beautiful (as)

    the body: the color is gorgeous (the same as the picture), but more beautiful in real life.

    The lctriquee: I would put this on 11/10 the sound that comes out is clear, precise.

    This bass is truly a monument itself, I recommend it to all bass players that start low and change.

    SOUNDS

    As stated above, this low trs is versatile, it suits me anyway (I play metal, Hardcore No-group)
    I use a Hartke HA3500 amp VX4 + * 10, a killing!

    I do not hardly touch the EQ of the amp, the Ibanez is easily adjusted and the amp follows aisment trs.

    I play prfre fingers fast and heavy sound, I served with the trs SRX500

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for almost 6 months and I'm not deu. While it is not the best ibanez 4 strings with, but the report qualitprix is ​​excellent. It surpasses the SR and Ergodyne, struggling in its quality and prsence.

    I love the sound, color! (I bordeaux red / black), its easy handling, and comes with elixir strings (nice). Are the least weight, between the location of the jack (attention has wedge the jack with the strap if you walk on it compulsory)

    A report qualitprix dfiant competition, a good low-rev at good prices!

    I referrer that choice without hsiter, that said, breaking the piggy bank a little over a j'orai opt pr Cort A4 (300 more!)

    SOUNDS

    This low, I tried it in total with a guitar amp Hartke: ca frankly dmnage! I have taken the trouble to write is that I think it sincrement excle in mtal, rock ... but it's still the versatile bte!! It has a round, warm and above all ... PRECIS. When I record a bass line, I like the fact that the good of Manir hear that it is not a sound "noyquot;.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I did not buy tjs I put money from cot .... but I really hate to have it, it's a great investment. MODEL I try some but it fascinates me as a kid. The report qualitprix is ​​justified.
    I'll buy two if necessary.
    MJ 01/2006: I finally bought this Nol. Prfr I wait a bit before posting my opinion. I wanted to be sure to confirm my first opinion. VERDICT: is that good! It is amazing because its handling is a breeze: the handle is enjoyable end. In addition, several friends came to try it at home they all ei dchirait find it! I have the feeling of holding a beautiful instrument in the hands that I would classify as high-end beginners.
    Its level is versatile and slaps fit really well (since I do more than a. ..).
    The finish is the price I find this satisfactory trs. In addition, she is super nice.

    Even if you can not buy it, go take a look at this beautiful object was worth the effort!

    Then the sound level ... It makes sense! A warm and very clear for many styles of music prcis but is versatile trs. It passes easily from the mtal Młoda acoustic. I use a Fender Bassman 150 combo bass and sound, admnage. Frankly I do not blame him at the sound that excels!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for six months and I conquered. This bass offers many opportunities for good bass players but is also good for beginners trs. All this while keeping a reasonable price trs in the vicinity of 500. I classify the trs good bass 4 string Ibanez.
    And nothing more motivating than beginners music with an instrument that we like! The SRX-500 is love at first sight when seen ensured. LORD is love when you hear it!

    No doubt, this bass is fantastic!

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is trs and enjoyable enough for a low end of that price. hand flows well throughout the race but from the cargo 15 17 must hold.
    conclusion: access to acute relatively complicated.
    the shape is well thought out and goes well with the body regardless of the position of the bass.
    we get a good sound? What question are active micro remarqueble a quality for the price and allow 2, 3 shots pottars to get the sound you need!

    SOUNDS

    This bass has a really good sound trs! (Especially walking) ... it lacks a little low in the slap but it may be because of my amp (randall 30W)! I intend dailleurs change soon. I play heavy metal, hard rock and therefore I need a good well rounded and a little fat. no problems! with EQ, a little bit of bass boost and you're jou. the performance of microphones is extraodinaire for this low price and offers a range of its "almost" ilimite.

    is the main strength of this low!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 7 months and I have never yet been Deut. I was able to make great progress with his presence and in concert is great! what I like most is the ease of finding the sound you want. I try other low bf before that the (Cort, ltd, yamaha) but none had as much scotch by the dynamic sound! TRS is a good value for price and quality I Do not hesitate one second if I had the choice again: vive la srx 500!
