Ibanez BTB555mp Bass Customer Review

Feature:
the looks on this bass are hot!! it kinda makes u wanna go over to it ang give it a great jam!

Quality:
the quality!!ah man u cant expect anything more, its all you want, the finish is so beautiful! i would never keep a back up. this bass is solid! u could go travelling on the dirt roads with this bass and over all the potholes it would not worry the bass at all, there is no bad aspect of quality.

Value:
i would say the price is a bit hectic hey, but if you buy cheap you get cheap. so maybe this bass is marked at this price for a reason

Sound:
the sound which comes out of this bass is phenominal! it's very good quality and certainly recording equipment, great for slap. this bass helps you achieve the results u want, it even improves the sound of your playing. its an awesome sound for jazz, to heavey metal,( whatever you want!)u can't even compare this bass to others. no where near.there are hectic variations in the settings on the bass.

Ease of Use:
all it is basiclly is turning the amp on and turning your levels up on the bass and bam!getting good quality sounds out of this bass is like taking food from a baby!

Support:
the company were very warm and friendly.they were not at all hard to reach.

About This Product!
Description
Our sleek Soundgear shuns tradition. The muscular BTB enhances it. BTB takes the traditional formula of powerful tones produced by a massive body and substantial neck and adds an even longer 35 in. inch scale neck, the right mix of premium woods and modern appointments.

Features
Custom designed Bartolini active EQs and passive humbucking pickups (on BTB500/1000 models) designed for the 35 in. neck scale.

18 volt EQ circuitry provides much greater headroom than found on standard active EQ's (except BTB300).

35 in. neck scale provides superior articulation. Perfect for 5-strings and detuned 4-strings. Standard 34 in. scale is available on the new BTB300.

Off-center line neck shape (BTB500/1000) makes upper fret work as easy as playing the lower frets.
