SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: I think it would be unfair to give this bass any lower than 10 when you consider the price, however it would still in my opinion score about 8 next to any bass even American made Alembics or Spectors, very similar growl to the sound of these classics. Feature: Thin neck,which is not a preference of mine as i have big hands but would be useful for smaller handed people, personally i don't find the neck size a problem. This bass can also achieve a varied number of tones which makes it very versatile. Active electronics, special body structure. Quality: spotless construction and finish Value: This is in my opinion the best bass when you think of what you get for your money. I think to say to do this bass justice you would have to play it through an ampeg or Gallien rig says it all Manufacturer Support: have not had to deal withe Ibanez yet but i've heard that they are very helpful The Wow Factor: Just look at the body and hear the sound Overall: Can't beat it in my opinion when you consider the price

Sound: It's a very nice bass, and the active EQ and tone controls help you to craft any sound you could want. It's also amazing for slapping. Feature: The EQ again is useful, and the Luthite body makes for a very lightweight bass. Ease of Use: Very easy, only thing is an occasional battery change, and small handed players may have a bit of trouble. Quality: It's lasted through anything I have, and I don't forsee it doin anything different. All you have to do is carry around an extra 9-volt. Value: Awesome bass for an awesome price. Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with them, but never heard bad things The Wow Factor: It looks nice when your playing, and anyone can tell its very light and easy to control. Overall: It's an awesome bass, and I have no intention of replacing it for a long time.

Sound: With this bass you can dial in tone for days! No matter what your style, from funk, to hardcore, this bass sounds amazing. And with the super-fast neck, and narrow string spacing, you'll be playing difficult new riffs like you mastered them years ago! Quality: This is an Ibanez, and therefore nearly indestructible! The Wow Factor: This bass is the definition of sexy. With it's smooth lines, intuitive cutaways and curved back, this bass feels like it molds itself to you.

Sound: Very Very good, solid bass, sound is versatile, the bass is strong. I really like the bass. Only reason is not a 10, is because you can always find something better, but with a much higher price. I would personally give the sound 9.5 ! Quality: Overall is great,except the one of the volumne knobs is coming off

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: I've abused my EDB600 for over 8 years now. Best slap bass under $1200. Between the 3 eq knobs and the pickup knob, you can get almost any bass sound you could want. Feature: The active pickups sound awesome Ease of Use: You do have to replace the internal preamp's 9v battery occassionally. Quality: Ibanez basses hold up forever. However, the nubs for holding the strap and the wiring for the battery are the 2 weakest parts. Value: Again, this is the best slap bass you can get for less than $1200...and it's $350. If you're still playing a worthless Fender bass or clone, upgrade to 24 frets with the EDB600. Ergodynes feel almost as good as Warwicks. Manufacturer Support: Never used support. The Wow Factor: The Ibanez Ergodyne is straight up awesome. Overall: The EDB600 is perfectly dimensioned to be played to the extreme. AMAZING slap responsiveness.

Sound: Nice tone, really punchy. Feature: It has all I would need. Quality: It seems well put together. Value: I think it's worth it. I feel that Ibanez makes pretty decent basses. I used to have one of their old TR basses for years and for a $200 cheapy, it didn't let me down. Sometimes you get lucky and find an instrument that's just right for you no matter the price. Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with them. The Wow Factor: I'd say it's one of the better basses I've played. Overall: It's not the "ultimate" bass I have ever played, but it's one if the best. I like it quite a bit. I'd definately pick one up.

Sound: Great sound...quality good...good feel...however not for people with small hands...frets at top make you strech out alittle....overall great buy for price...you can't go wrong here...... Feature: 3 band equalizer good response. Ease of Use: frets near head spred apart alittle too far for poeple with small hand but you can adjust with practice.....very playabe. Quality: well made but alittle static when you adjust the EQ. tuneing pegs stick out alittle and can be a worry for breakage.....like any thing in life you got to tke care of this instrument and it should last. Value: great value for the money spent Manufacturer Support: do not know.....never delt with manufacturer The Wow Factor: good sex appeal Overall: only time can ansure this question.....

Sound: It has a very fast neck and I have fairly long fingers so this helps my playing, almost twice as fast when I play my other bass guitars.I cannot find fault with the sound it produces.

Quality: Extremely well constructed. Value: Yes Manufacturer Support: Bought my bass in New Zealand. The Wow Factor: I already have one. Overall: I will look no further as this is my final buy. I know I made the right choice as I have been purchasing bass guitars since the 60's. I am still rocking, and love every minute of it! Three cheers for Ibanez!

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: The Ergo has really made life better for me. It's got great output, amazing tone, & the 3 band eq works phenomenally. I play everything from country to thrash on this thing, and it's NEVER out of place. The fretboard is not too wide, fast as heck, and the neck is stable, and the bass hangs very well. This bass stays in tune between gigs really well- and it's often frozen solid between shows! I get a lot of compliments on the way it looks, as well. It may be a touch heavier than some basses, but I love the lucite, and will never change away from Ibanez now. In the studio, it sees a compressor, and that would be all. The guys in the band call my pearl grey EDB600 "Rock Solid"- nuff said. (OH- and I am a touring live FOH sound engineer- if the sound sucked, I wouldn't have it) Feature: Everything you need, and a better eq than 99% of the axes out there. Wicked pickups, clean, quiet pots, and rock solid bridge. The only thing to look for is the finish on the bridge will wear off (takes a lot of playing first!) , the control knobs have no markings, and don't wear a belt- once scratched, I have no idea how to repair the finish. Quality: It's a well- made bass. Stays in tune, frets wear well, not a lot of adjustments needed in 2 years with it- it went to my setup guy once- my yamaha backup has been there 6 times for adjustment in the same time, perhaps because I hardly pick it up. Value: I am eminently impressed with the Ergo, and would buy again. Manufacturer Support: I had a problem with the sweep pot for the mid-eq point- I was told that a real good repair guy could probably fix it, but I should just buy the new circuit board. I had it fixed for a quarter of the price of the new board. BUT Ibanez was very friendly and did really try to help The Wow Factor: I only give it a 9 because I wish it came in black. But people do seem to find it attractive- and the unique finish on the guitar never really needs polishing, and doesn't show fingerprints, so that is very cool. Overall: I will only buy another Ergodyne, and I will only buy a different bass because now I want the 5 string.

Back to Product Information
Sound: This bass has a very mediocre sound. No punch, growl, or anything of the sort. It is pretty warm, but dull at that. I use it for it's warmth, but theres just not enough tone variation. A lot of the pre-amp configurations are worse than bland. Feature: Pretty good in this department. The nut is not so hot, and the bridge is a little better than garbage. Tuners are really freakin good, though! The preamp seems to be decent, but the pickups are due for upgrades. The neck is very thin, and strong enough for most people. The body is heavy, and very resonant (I dont know if thats good or bad). Quality: Im stuck on this one. COnstruction quality seems to be ok. I have a slight problem with my trussrod not being straight in the neck. I dont know why, and its not really worth it to fix it. The materials they use for the hardware seem to be a little lacking, but overal durable. Ive seen a lot worse. Value: Price is high. You can do better for the money. Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with them. The Wow Factor: Looks good.. thats about it. Looking for a trade. Overall: Im looking to trade this. If it was stolen, I wouldnt care too much. It was a gift, so I cant complain about buying it.
