10 out of 10
Feature:
I have no complaint about the lack of accessories. It doesn't matter to me. The bass is the main ingredient and "accessories" don't make it play any better.
Quality:
Quality?? Fabulous. Everything is professional down to the little plastic "map" around the control knobs. I am not worried about this thing "breaking". My husband is a gifted guitar tech, and he can spot sure quality at a glance...My Ibanez 6 string is TOTAL quality, especially for the price. I am more concerned about my tempermental Warwick giving me fits, and that thing was more than twice the price of this one!
Value:
Incredible value for the $$.
Desirability:
Well I wouldn't exactly describe a bass with a neck the size of a surfboard "sexy", but if you must use that term, then she is just that! It looks alot like my Warwick, which is kind of nice, but I am counting on her even more than the Warwick because I feel she is honestly made BETTER!
Sound:
The sound of this bass is likened to rolling thunder with a clarity from the heavens! I was so surprised when I first picked it up in the store. It was sort of an "I'll show you" thing - being that I am a small woman (5 ft tall) with small hands....but a bassist to the bone, and once I got hold of this baby (I named her 'Mudskipper") we were an uproarious team! I have it paired up with a Mesa/Boogie Big Block 750 with a 4x10 cab. She sounds outrageous with that, yet plugged into my little Peavey 112 practice amp, she is just as gutsy and mean! How could she sound any better? I doubt she could. The Bartolini's tell the tale.
Ease of Use:
Again, I couldn't believe this thing. Little me, all of five feet with goofy little hands, and I could play her like nobody's business! It took a few hours to get back up to speed, as I am used to 4-strings and this is my first (and probably last ever) six string. Just picture (and it is kinda funny) this little lady playing this giant's neck of a bass. This bass is simple and sweet to handle!
Support:
Not ever needed support with any of our Ibanez products. Just a great deal for the money spent.
Overall:
I expect to own and use this product as long as I live, breath and thump! I own twelve (12) basses, and I am certain that she will always be at the top of my collection. The bass has enhanced my playing by leaps and bounds because of the 6 strings.

Feature:
unfortunately it didnt come with a gig bag or anything, but it did come with some elixirs, which is really nice. The pickups are awesome, the neck is really comfortable, this was my first six string, and i was coming from a 4 stringer. I adjusted in less than a month.
Quality:
i think its well made. Theres not apparent problems. The wood is reallly soft, which is one problem in the long run. But it seemed to be put together well.
Value:
I think this is a really good deal, I havent tried out many other 6 stringers, but for this value, its pretty amazing. I would sell it for a lot more.
Desirability:
I freaking love how it looks, when i first saw it I new this was the bass i wanted. Its beyond perfect in my opinion
Sound:
i love the sound of this bass, i can get a nice deep tone, or a higher, more mids and treble sound. the EQ makes quite a difference, along with the pickups. I personally love the sound, and it goes great when im playing metal.
Ease of Use:
Like i said, i had no problem making the switch from 4 to 6 strings. This bass is just so comfortable.
Support:
N/A
Overall:
the only real problem is how sof the wood is. The tone is great, shape is awesome, it plays well. I dont see any major problems with this bass
