Ibanez JTK200 Jet King Electric Bass Guitar Reviews
8 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"The Jet King is a diamond in the rough."
Feature:
It's pretty straight forward: Two passive Humbuckers with V,V,T controls, and a giant bridge that gives this bass a premium sound.
Quality:
So here is the rub... The hardware and electronics are economy class. I've had the bass since March and gigged with it every week since then. The tuners have held up, the pickups are doing great, but I have had to replace the jack and tone pot so far.
Value:
This bass is worth every penny and then some.
Desirability:
If you are into the retro look, go for it. Even if you aren't get it anyway. The bridge is awesome!
Sound:
I've had this bass since March '08, and for the price it is a steal. Yes it is light and the neck is a dream. I too had a bit of fret buzz, but it was corrected by a minor adjustment to the saddle height. This bass sings! The combination of the Mahogany body and the massive bridge gives it killer tone and resonance. It sounds like a brighter version of the Gibson Thunderbird.
Ease of Use:
Plug and Play. 100%
Support:
I Haven't had to deal with support nor the warranty. I didn't feel like a new jack and tone pot was worth dealing with the warranty.
Overall:
The Jet King is a diamond in the rough. I think Ibanez has stumbled on to something here. With a few upgrades this bass could be worth so much more. Note to Ibanez: Make the bridge out of tempered steel (not cast), use bartolini pickups, Schaler tuners, and upgrade the vol/tone controls.

"wow, what an amazing neck.."
Feature:
I didnt use the eq, so neutral 5.
Quality:
it was ok, you know really light weight export materials.
Value:
its a bit pricey for an impulse buy but once youve actually played it youll agree at how the neck profile is magic.
Desirability:
i do want one as a second bass that i can not worry about but plays as nice as my expensive ones.
Sound:
well...yea, i didnt actually plug it in. It was a bit twangy and light when played acousticaly, with initial fret buzz attack.
Ease of Use:
im really here to comment on the neck. it was one of the most comfortable and quickest necks ive ever played. It strange because I normally only like more narrow jazz style necks. I do like the thinner Ibanez style necks, but this was wider and yet more comfortable than the other ibanez basses in the shop. the frets looked very even, the neck was straight, but needed a setup. Im sure after a good setup this bass would be an off the scale great player, so heads up.
Support:
NA
Overall:
id say as a second bass this would be around for awhile. maybe a few upgrades..
