"a tru bass"

Sound:
The sound is awesome - it has that perfect boomy bassy sound, with no tinnyness or roundness to it. It completely fills out the room with pure bass. Some of it may be to do with the amp to but i dont kno what amp was used.

Ease of Use:
brilliant. the action wasnt too high that it was to hard to play but not too low to make the strings buzz. The strings on it must hav been flatwounds as they wer soo smooth and easy to slide nd do fingerwork.

Overall:
not that iv played on many basses however this one was the best. a combination of fantastic sound, the extra 5th string (vital for any bassist) and good playing control. It is important to have good strings and a good amp because they must hav had something 2 do with it.

"Ibanez SRX705NT SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Feature:
It's got real hot pickups, and I think the choice of wood Ibanez used works well. It's light enough to wear for long periods of time, but still has great tone.

Quality:
I have two complaints with this bass. The first is the 9-volt connector in the back of the guitar. I have broken two during the first battery change, but was given a new bass under warenty, so..... The second is the sustain on the B string I think it is unmatched, and lacking compaired to the other strings. I know how to set up a bass and just can't get it up to par.

Value:
I think this bass is a great value.

Desirability:
I think this bass is beautiful. The natural finish is awesome. Plus mine has the matt finish hardware, which is sweeeet!!!!

Sound:
This an all around badass bass. It sounds good live isolated through a cab, but shines if you DI! I pair this bad boy with an Ampeg B4-R head, and BBE 482i sonic maximizer. Then run it through an AVATAR 410 cab w/Eminence neodymium speakers.

Support:
As I said before I am on my third bass due to the 9-volt cords in back breaking. I had no problem with Ibanez' warenty.

Overall:
Overall I love this bass, it plays nice, sounds good, looks good, and is a fair price. One thing I wish I knew before buying it was that as of yet there are no replacement pickups(besides the stock) so no Bartloni's or BassLines for me.

The SRX705 is loaded with features and designed for heavy rock players who want to spend their time playing - not setting up their bass! It features neck-thru construction, a light ash body, and a massive Accu-Cast B205 bridge - a combination that delivers big tone and ringing sustain. Its PFR pickups and EQB-IIDX electronics are also remarkable. The Passive Full Range pickups feature powerful output with added low mids for incredible punch. The EQB electronics include active 2-band EQ for complete tone control. Another outstanding Ibanez value.
