Ibanez SR900 Electric Bass

Feature:
Bartolini pickups and EQ are flexible and accurate. Mid adjustment is powerful, nice wide template of sonic options without the questionably unusable sounds/features some seem bent on providing. Knobs and tuners are die cast metal. Feel is solid and approaching elegant for a bass in this range.

Quality:
I have owned a few other basses, fender, and a previous ibanez sr-500 that served me well. I can't speak to the super high end "rick" quality, never owned one, although played some and they were great. This is a perfect working mans or advanced beginner bass for studio and stage, it may find it's way to the hands of pros easily as well. It looks plays, and sounds great, way beyond it's price tag. Even though I have not been crazy about "flat" finishes on other instruments. This one just plain works! When some of my friends came by the immediately noticed it and said it looked "bad@ss!" Very nice flame to the maple, no rough edges, glue sots, dead spots, or cut corners in the overall design finish that I can find. Some previous reveiwers said they had dull fret markers, mine look nice, not bright really. I'll take the classy look of subtle pearl inlay over boring obvious white markers anyday.

Value:
Fantastic value!

Desirability:
I wanted it...and got it...yes.

Sound:
Great sound and shaping, cleanly emulating bright P to mellow J to a cool rock throaty mid growl all it's own. Sweet sounds are easy from this bass.

Ease of Use:
Great low action out of the case, minimal buzz, but it is there with first setup. Appears to be relatively easy to setup, but did not see the need to, so will find out eventually with string change probably. Nice new bouncy crisp Elixer strings should last a while with some basic care!

Support:
well...uh...haha...have not dealt with much, but would not look forward to trying...with a massive company like ibanez, somewhat removed from the common musician. Maybe if you have an endorsement you would get a call back. Most stuff i fix on my own or take to a local shop.

Overall:
You get what you pay for...and more, great looks, solid flexible sound, very comfortable to play (for me at least) great in recording/live performance applications. I started on Ibanez and I love this bass. I will hopefully and likely hold onto and play this bass for many many years to come.

Feature:
The neck is shorter for the people who have short fingers can play without the stress on their fingers.

Quality:
One piece of wood. The body and neck are all together. Amazing or what?

Value:
Worth all of my money.

Desirability:
One of my buddies (who also plays bass) was drooling over it when he saw it. Is that hot enough for you?

Sound:
I love it. The best bass that ever happened to me.

Overall:
I will own thins bass for the rest of my life. i love it that much.
