VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I give it a 9 because the low B seems to not 'pick up' that clearly, but I did buy it second hand, so it might be a pick-up height adjustment. Aside from that, this has got to be one of the better sounding basses out there. Plus, active pick-ups make the difference. Not bad for stock pick-ups! Feature: With all the tone knobs, I feel I can get that ;just right' sound. I had owned an old Ibanez TR-50 (which is an awsome bass for being a 'beginner' bass) and that thing only had 1 volume, 1 tone. So this is ALOT better. Quality: Well, I'm getting frett buzz, I heightened the bridge, and it took care of alot of it, but I'm still getting some through. I think after I get some different strings it should clear up. But, then again, it might have been something the previous owner screwed up. Value: Better than alot basses I see between $800-$1,200. For it's cost, and because it's a 5-string, you really can't find a better bass. The stock active pick-ups really are amazing for being stock. over all, unless you want to pay over a grand, get this bass! Manufacturer Support: never had to deal with them. The Wow Factor: I got the black model, and with all the black, and the chrome acessories, it has a real nice look. plus it's aerodynamic-like, so its sleek and smooth to the touch. Overall: I don't think I will be buying any other bass, although I might buy the silver one also to keep as a back-up, alt. tuning bass.

Sound: The sound is rich and powerfull for all aplications including slap, the Low B string could sound a little better. Feature: just a cheap cabel and a allen wrench and manual Quality: The wood could of been a little better because once u install strap locks you need to retighten the screws pretty often. the bridge could have been a little better Value: It is well worth it's price Manufacturer Support: did not have the oprutunity to deal with them yet The Wow Factor: It has a very professional look, chrome over moon shadow is a nice combination Overall: I will definetly keep this bass and just see what else is out there

Sound: Pay the extra 260 dollars and get an Ibanez BTB ! I have the 300DX very nice.. but lemme tell you for 260 more... BTB ! or perhaps another HIGHER Sound gear model, all I know is the old BTB kills this thing.

Back to Product Information
Sound: Best I've heard yet. There might be and probably is better sounding basses around but anyway it sounds great :) Feature: This one has the Phat active bass boost system which turned at max is great for the usual stuff. Turned off the sound gets more clear and is great when tapping and/or soloing. The volume does drop pretty much when the boost system is turned off so you might want to have some effect pedal or something to add a little more power with it.. Quality: Always something to make better. I think the neck could definitely be better manufactured than this one has. The frets are too long so their ends scratch my fingers and some of them seem to be a little lifted so I bet I'll have some problems with it later.. Value: Despite the flaws this one's sure worth the Euros I paid for it. The Wow Factor: This one's both. A good looking and great sounding instrument. I tried several basses from different manufacturers (Yamaha, Warwick, Epiphone, OLP and Ibanez). The Yamaha was the second best option but cost more so I chose the Ibanez. Overall: It's very good but could be better. Anyway it's definitely worth the money I paid for it.
