Ibanez BTB400QM Electric Bass Guitar (Transparent Red)

Description
Docs
Like all Ibanez instruments, the BTB is made with the bass player in mind. With a thick, full sound and clear tone, the BTB Series lets your real bass sound be heard. Played by some of today's top bass players, when you hear one, you'll know why.

The BTB series comes with a fuller body and neck, with more passive pickups for better quality tone and sustain. Also, BTB basses feature Neutrik locking jacks and Monorail II bridges so the strings are independent, and do not interfere ith each other as they vibrate. If it's subtlety you're going for, the studio-quiet Vari-Mid 3B EQ allows you to modify and color your tones as much or as little as you want. And don't forget about the 18 volt circuitry that provides much greater headroom than found on standard active EQs.

"It can't get any better than this!!!!"
Feature:
I really like the neck because the strings don't interfere with eachother when they vibrate. I also like the lock that locks in your chord when you plug it in.

Quality:
The quality is great because the strings are always secur in the neck and there are no loose parts. This bass dosen't give any problems, It wont let you down.

Value:
Every single penny is worth it I know that because I alos own a $750 Fender bass and the quality and sound of that bass is nothing compared to the Ibanez. This bass should have been at least $1500

Desirability:
It's the best bass I have played the bass fo a long time and this is the best one I know because i have years of experiencewith diffrent kinds of bass.

Sound:
It is the best looking and sounding bass ever (I think.) It's great for slap and normal. You won't regret it when you get one.

Support:
I didn't have any problems with this bass but i also have an Ibanez RG1570 Electric Guitar and I contacted the company because the wammy bar was loose and they were very friendly I wasn't a big deal they told me how to fix it over the phone but, they said that if that didn't work that I can send my guitar to them and they will take it from there.

Overall:
I would be satisfied with this product for as long as possible unless it starts giving problens (Witch I guarantee it wont) but if it dose after a long period of time I would get the same bass again because I have tried almost all of the Ibanez basses and this one is the best.

"Ibanez SR400LA is, shall we say, the best value I've ever seen."
Feature:
Bass, Mid, Treble, Volume, and Pan are excellent.

Value:
I got it during a 30% sale at the local chop shop. I would easily pay the full price for it if it came to it.

Desirability:
Looks wonderful. Sounds wonderful. Feels wonderful. Plays wonderfuly. Built wonderfully.

Sound:
Good range of sounds.

Support:
Never had to deal with them; the product is that good.

Overall:
I'll play this for at least 5 years (unless I hit a growth spirt musically and need to quit my job to tour the world). When I decide to get a new one, it will be because I wore the neck completely through. Of all the basses I was looking at (in the $300 - $700 range), this one killed the rest in every category; not a couple...all of them. It is the perfect guitar as a mildly intermediate player. I would buy this one over and over until I had enough for the best guitar on the planet. The value is the best part of it; a perfect score on a $600 guitar is amazing.
