10 out of 10Feature:
Love having the nobs on the bass, makes life alot easier not having to get up to mess with the sound.
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.
Desirability:
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.
Sound:
Great sound. I have a crapy $70 amp and this bass still sounds great.
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.
Support:
never used this company
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.
yes
no

Sound:
BEAUTIFUL SOUND. Enough said.
Ease of Use:
Very easy, I'd recommend for beginning bassists, and veteran's alike.

You won't find a better sounding instrument in the same price range.
Sound:
Sounds great. We went to a local store and tried many basses and this was the best sounding one in its class. It sounds incredible through our SWR 550X.

10 out of 10Feature:
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.
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.
Desirability:
great sex appeal, just an amazing bass, beautiful bass, with that black & blue, looks green in black light. amazing.
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.
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.
Support:
never had to use them, bass is perfect.
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.
yes
no

Quality:
Wish it had better pickups.
Value:
Sexy, functional, meets all my demands - and at an attractive price.

This is the sexiest bass I've met yet, aesthetically. Something about blue stained wood just REALLY gets me going.

Ease of Use:
Love that smooth neck. Feels great.

I'm sure I'll seek out different pickups, but for now, it's perfect for me to learn on.

"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.
Desirability:
Very stylish...girls love it!
Sound:
The sound is amazing...as good as I've ever heard.
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.

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.
