Sound: The sound wasn't all good at the beginning, if you buy this buy with another set of strings the factory ones suck. But when you get past the strings it's beautiful sounding. Feature: When I started looking for a bass I wanted one with more knobs for costumization but at a good price and this was it. Ease of Use: Super easy to use the neck is greatly designed it wasn't easy though to get the sound I wanted, because like I said before the factory strings aren't good Quality: Thankfully because of ibanez's great design on this it didn't get too messed up. Not even two weeks after I got it, my mom gave me a strap (with white skulls and blue flames) it ripped while I was practicing, and as if in slow-mo it dropped and flopped...let me repeat myself, it FLOPPED. This thing wasn't just strong, it's flexible!, all it got from the fall was a small chip on the head. Yea I was pissed but it still works fine Value: I'm left handed and when I saw this bass on this site for 160$ I bought it, well worth the price and for the price it has now Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed it this is a good buy The Wow Factor: It has got one very-very beautiful design it's thinner than other basses yet just as strong. The rounded edges practically sold it to me, this means it has less of a chance of chipping then a unrounded one. When I first picked it up it was really light, it's about 8 pounds. Over all great bass for beginer and medium players. Overall: I'm not replacing this till It just stops working at all or gets stolen which won't be happening anytime soon, I love this bass

Sound: Great sound. I have a crapy $70 amp and this bass still sounds great. Feature: Love having the nobs on the bass, makes life alot easier not having to get up to mess with the sound. Ease of Use: This thing is really playable. Just plug it in and your ready to go. This is my first bass but I've played my friend's and this one just feels like it belongs in your hands. Quality: Quality is amazing. I'm always carefull with anything I own but as you know sometimes it will fall or you will hit something. I still have a mark on my roof from hitting it, and the bass still looks new. Value: This bass is cheap. If you can find a better bass for the same price buy it. This thing plays like a $300 bass. Manufacturer Support: never used this company The Wow Factor: The color is amazing. But you shouldnt buy a bass just for the color. As I said before this bass just feels right in your hands. The neck is smooth and fast. Overall: This is the best bass you can get at this amount of money. It is a good bass for thoughs you just want to play.

Sound: greatest bass ive ever played, really unique after playing a p-bass for a couple of years. although it could have better pickups. i would suggest EMG pickups. Feature: nice accessories i went out and bought the hardshell case and its beautiful, and if you think the cord is not long enough, BUY A LONGER ONE! i play it with a wah pedal, joining a 10 ft. cord, with the 8 ft. cord that comes with it. oh and the strings, arest the best, but stock strings never are for playing 2 hr. a day. my g string turned black in about, 1 week, but still sounds great. Ease of Use: very versatile, and playable. i play, heavy metal, funk, disco, country, and just about anything you can think of, and this bass does it all. Quality: great feeling neck, very fast, never would play anything else in a gig. i have a backup, but definitely don't need it. Value: looks like a 400$ bass, plays like a 500$ bass, is a 240$ bass. Manufacturer Support: never had to use them, bass is perfect. The Wow Factor: great sex appeal, just an amazing bass, beautiful bass, with that black & blue, looks green in black light. amazing. Overall: its just amazing. and you know what, its an ibanez! does it need to be good to be good? abd you know what, when i play the frets off this, imma get me a ibanez sr1005.

Something about blue stained wood just REALLY gets me going. Overall: I'm sure I'll seek out different pickups, but for now, it's perfect for me to learn on.

Sound: The sound is amazing...as good as I've ever heard. Feature: "The knobs are good.....I wish the cable that came with it was a little longer. Quality: Seems to be very sturdy....have tried to keep from bumping it into stuff tho, so I can't say for sure, but its held up perfectly fine for me. Value: You can't find a better bass guitar for this price. Manufacturer Support: Haven't really dealt with the company, but their product is built very well, so I'll give em a 10 here anyway since I like their guitar. The Wow Factor: Very stylish...girls love it! Overall: I think I'll use this bass until it breaks beyond repair, or until they come out with some new technology that's better than this.
