Feature:
The bass and mid controls help out in all situations of playing.

Value:
The bass was worth every cent that I spent on it.

Desirability:
As soon as I saw this bass I was in love...well I knew that if i did not get that one i would not be happy with any other one.

Overall:
This bass has been the best investment that i have made. it has a head turning look and the sound is to die for. For a bass player wanting to get "the bass" this is the one for you.

Feature:
The electronics are awesome. Single volume control (what a concept!), pickup pan pot, active bass/treble, and active mid/mid-sweep make for truly unlimited tone. You'll never have to touch your amp settings again. The combination of the active pickups and the active tone controls make for the best tone out of any bass I've ever played or owned.

Quality:
I say quality is the worst, because of one fatal defect. Everything is top notch, except: the bridge saddles are incapable of adjusting the open/fretted intonation properly -- after moving the saddles all the way forward, the fretted intonation is still flat compared to open string. This is completely unacceptable in a $1300 bass guitar. I'm in the process of seeing what Ibanez's warranty can do for me on this issue. If they do anything, they will have to replace the whole bass for another one that's not f***'d up, I don't see how it can be "fixed".

Value:
Not a good value at all if you can't set the intonation properly. If you buy one, make sure you adjust the intonation immediately, and return the bass if yours has the same problem as mine.

Desirability:
Super incredibly sexy. I actually want to bring this thing to bed with me. Seriously, it's that gorgeous.

Sound:
Sound is unbelievably awesome. Mid-sweep EQ is the only way to go. Great tone on every string, on every fret.

Support:
We'll see...

Overall:
I would be in seventh heaven if not for the intonation problem. I feel very jerked around that I was sold a $1000 bass whose intonation can't be adjusted properly.
