"I finally found a 5-string that I really like"

Feature:
I wish it had a 3-band eq section.

Quality:
I really like the wood selection, the fit and finish are very nice and I find myself playing at the neck/body interface just to have the sensual curve in my hand.

Value:
I bought it within ten minutes of playing it - and I'm a cheapskate!

Desirability:
It looks beautiful and it feels GREAT!

Sound:
I've been looking for a solid-sounding B-string for quite some time - 4 or 5 years at least, trying instruments with prices that ranged to $5k. I've played well over 100 5- and 6- string basses looking for a B that sounds like a warm, natural extension of the G, D, A and E strings. The 705's B was crisp and deep so I pulled out the credit card within 10 minutes of playing it! It stands as one of my greatest purchasing decisions.

Overall:
It rates a 9.5+. In my book nothing on earth rates a "10".

"Ibanez SRX705NT SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Feature:
It's got real hot pickups, and I think the choice of wood Ibanez used works well. It's light enough to wear for long periods of time, but still has great tone.

Quality:
I have two complaints with this bass. The first is the 9-volt connector in the back of the guitar. I have broken two during the first battery change, but was given a new bass under warenty, so..... The second is the sustain on the B string I think it is unmatched, and lacking compaired to the other strings. I know how to set up a bass and just can't get it up to par.

Value:
I think this bass is a great value.

Desirability:
I think this bass is beautiful. The natural finish is awesome. Plus mine has the matt finish hardware, which is sweeeet!!!!

Sound:
This an all around badass bass. It sounds good live isolated through a cab, but shines if you DI! I pair this bad boy with an Ampeg B4-R head, and BBE 482i sonic maximizer. Then run it through an AVATAR 410 cab w/Eminence neodymium speakers.

Support:
As I said before I am on my third bass due to the 9-volt cords in back breaking. I had no problem with Ibanez' warenty.

Overall:
Overall I love this bass, it plays nice, sounds good, looks good, and is a fair price. One thing I wish I knew before buying it was that as of yet there are no replacement pickups(besides the stock) so no Bartloni's or BassLines for me.

About This Product!
Description
Ibanez SRX705 5-String Electric Bass Guitar
The SRX705 is loaded with features and designed for heavy rock players who want to spend their time playing - not setting up their bass! It features neck-thru construction, a light ash body, and a massive Accu-Cast B205 bridge - a combination that delivers big tone and ringing sustain. Its PFR pickups and EQB-IIDX electronics are also remarkable. The Passive Full Range pickups feature powerful output with added low mids for incredible punch. The EQB electronics include active 2-band EQ for complete tone control. Another outstanding Ibanez value.

SRX Soundgear Xtreme basses were designed for players who want an easy-to-play bass with simple controls and 'beyond massive' pickups that can pump out loud, heavy rock. Period.

SRX Series Features

Powerful and simple. Designed for the heavy rock bassist.

Super high output Passive Full Range Pickups with exposed pole pieces give a new meaning to the word loud.

Simple to operate 2-band EQ or PHAT II active bass boost. So you play more bass and less with the tone controls.

5-string offers wide string pitch and neck width. 5-string neck-thru model now available for 2003.
