UTILIZATION

This bass has a handle qu'agrable more! a real Boulvard, with very good access to acute relatively simple (although the width of the handle ... a 5-string what ..).
Too good shape, a weight not so big, 7kg, very easy to handle.
The sound is very good, sound bold, open mics all fat and tone, sound and slamming mtallique in dsactivan the neck pickup and Tone mtallique ... spends the entire range, it is a pleasure. The PHAT EQ control can give a boost very enjoyable for bass solos on stage.

SOUNDS

It is perfect for my type of music, symphonic type mtal Nightwish, Within Temptation, Sonata Arctica, as well as things rock, etc. ... type Muse
I play on an amp Hartke A100, 100W. It gives really good.
types of sounds: see section to it.
I love all the sounds of the bass, the entire range of sound, crystal clear sound / mtallique be a low-saturated-type pieces, the sound bold, almost everything.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months, I waited a long time, and for the price (455), I do not regret it at all. I do not like too the fact that the cord is a little severe flaccid once granted, but it's not a problem either!
I played in on a Whale TBX12 low, low entry level, but I really apprci nothing to do with the Ibanez.
The report price is gnial quality is low mid-range that has everything a big, and has not to fade to a Fender Jazz Bass.
But to choose, I would resume no ... I like Inova, the next one Rockbass Corvette 5 string ... but I do not regret at all my Ibanez, which is one of the best basses I tried.
If you want a 5 string bass, take this!
