10 out of 10Feature:
It has all the features it needs, and all f them are great.
Quality:
I've bumped this thing into many a wall and doorway, and I can say without a doubt that it will take a lot to break it.
Value:
Buy it. You can't find a better one in the price range. I spent all summer researching to find a good one, and I can say without a doubt that this one is the best.
Desirability:
Looks great, sounds great, plays great... What else can I say?
Sound:
This bass has amazingly good sound, acoustically and through an amp. It is also very versatile soundwise.
Ease of Use:
It's very easy to use once you memorize what knobs do what. After that, piece of cake.
Support:
I haven't used them, but I'll give them a ten because I love the bass.
Overall:
I don't think I'll need a new bass for quite some time. This bass is awesome, and anyone who as enough money should buy it. The colors are great, I got the orange metalic, and the sound is amazing, as I said before, and it's the best bass out there for $300 or less. It will work well for any style of music from blues to metal, and jazz to hyper punk. Buy it. It's amazing. I kid you not, I did not exaggerate at all when I rated this all tens. All I can say is that you should buy this bass without question. You'll be glad you did.

7 out of 10Feature:
As I said, the switch is a huge feature. The other dials change pickups.
Quality:
Doesn't look like this thing is breaking any time soon.
Value:
It should be way more money than the 299.99 selling price.
Desirability:
If you get the orange color like me, and you are playing in a band with a black guitar, who do you think they'll be looking at?
Sound:
The sound on this bass is amazing. The switch between slap+pick to finger lets you play any style of music. The active pickups rock.
Ease of Use:
May take a bit to get used to the controls, since they change the sound so much.
Support:
Only a 1 year warranty on the bass. But setting up the warranty at Ibanez.com is quick and simple.
Overall:
It will be a long time before I need a new bass. I can do anything with this bass.

10 out of 10Feature:
The features are rather standard and nothing really special in my opinion.
Quality:
The quality of the instrument is perfect.
Value:
I'll give the value a 10 because this is probably the best bass you're going to get for this much money.
Desirability:
I'm picky about the way basses look. Of course the first thing that caught my eye was the shape of the bass and the colors available. I chose Starlight Blue - it's beautiful and sparkly!
Sound:
This is my first bass; I chose this one because I want to 'earn' a more expensive one when I become better at playing. I have no complaints about this bass at all. Mine keeps its tuning well, sounds amazing and has no fret buzz. I love it.
Ease of Use:
Of course this thing is easy to use... it's a bass.
Support:
I haven't had to contact them at all. That says something in itself, doesn't it?
Overall:
I love it and everything about it.
