"A really good piece of bass from Ibanez, plays like the best for alot less. Put the extra money you save into a good amp or take"

Feature:
good solid parts, no loose parts. I've played this bass for days & days & still running.

Quality:
The strong maple clear finish is sexy, my wife even likes it! It's a good solid bass with a fast neck, I have loooong fingers anyway so I play fast or slow with ease, & focus on creativity & not trying to play. use it on the road or in your secret woodshed spot. I played in a funky hipity hopity rockity band & never had a problem with it. The nobs are tarnishing but BFD. I do not plan on parting with this bass.

Value:
This bass is just a good solid bass that can handle all your needs. Ibanez really did good when they decided a few years ago to make higher end eqipment available to us reg. folks at lower prices. I did some research & I've sampled alot of other basses & it holds up very well. the only thing thats gona make you play better is to practice!

Desirability:
I have the clear maple model & I hear "beautiful" & "Wow thats nice." I'm a happily married dude, and yes I would consider a threesome with my sexy wife & bASS.

Sound:
the 3 band eq is really cool - everything from thump to funk, it sounds just like Megadeths Peace Sells But Who's buying opening bass riff, Slappy silly like Flea & good deep fat tone. great variation of tone. play this with a variax line 6 pod xt live & you have it all, the only thing to make sound better is quit wankin & start spankin (practice that is). Basically your amp will determine much of the sound quality as well. The great players of past often played with mediocre equipment that would be considered archaic in todays electronic/digital world!

Ease of Use:
on board 3 band eq makes adjusting tone very easy, low & fat to tight & squeaky. I basically could'nt tell the difference between a much more expensive bass when played thru a amp modeling pedal board. what it comes down to is that it is very playable & if it feels/sounds good then you will want to play it!

Support:
Like the Maytag repairman, never had to deal with em'

Overall:
I will always keep this bass, maybe the next one will be some super computerized interactive bass that you plug into your ? If I lost this bass I would probably get the same or similar Ibanez fast neck style with active pickups again. No complaints with this bass epecially for the price. Just like any instrument make sure it is set up for you to you liking.

Feature:
probably the most useful feature is the slap EQ.

Quality:
at first i was constantly worried that i was going to dent or break something, but after i dropped it on my drive-way and it didn't leave a scratch, i was pretty much convinced it wouldn't get hurt.

Value:
if anything i would say that it was under priced

Desirability:
tell you what. as a man who use to loved to date, i'm perfectly content staying at home with my bass.

Sound:
the sound is incredable. i play just about anything from picking to tapping to slapping and this bass sounds great no matter what. i've been playing bass for almost two years now and it's easily the best bass i've ever played. it's improved my playing speed a lot. get this bass.

Ease of Use:
this is without a doubt the most playable bass out there. i've come up with lines that i can't play on any other bass. it is the fastest, easiest bass to play ever.

Overall:
over all i'd say that this is possibly the only bass i'll actually sleep with. i'll probably never replace it.

Feature:
Well, when I bought this bass I bought it from a local music store so Ididn't get anything with it. But the EQ is very useful.

Quality:
The quality is pretty good but the only thing I have to complain about was that my nobs were coming loose but that was easily fixed with an allen wrench. I'll probably have this bass for a long time. I probably will never get rid of it.

Value:
Very good price for what you get out of this bass. My friends even say it sounds better that there Dean's and Peavey's.

Desirability:
I have the vintage blue one and when I first saw it I had to have it. It's not all that sexy but it still looks good.

Sound:
I love the # band EQ on here. Sometimes I just turn off the EQ on my Amp and just get the song from the bass.

Support:
Never had to call Ibanez for anything so I guess that's a good thing.

Overall:
I love this bass.

Feature:
What I like about it is the neck's size. It's juste the right size. Also, the EQ-3 band rocks when your guitarist puts you a solo right in the teeth!

Quality:
The only problem about it is it's not the PRESTIGE one :P. They are very well made, this thing looks like it's made of rock. I have a backup, but it's in case a tragedy happens

Value:
100% worth it.

Desirability:
The Gray Nickel one is just SWEET (the one I own)... When I saw it at the shop, I was just freaked out about the fact it would be mine in a few minutes

Sound:
Being a rock bassist, I absolutely adore the metallic sound the Ibanez basses provide. The ring length is amazing (I beat my brothers' Sabian AAXPlosion cymbal)

Overall:
I think I will stick long enough with this bass, until I get to be a real beast.

Solid sound with a wide range of possibilities with the EQ right on the Bass. Fast neck with 24 frets, and not quite as heavy as some other models.

Great for people like me who have smaller hands, as this has a fabulously fast neck. Also, being only 5'6", the way this bass is weighted and balanced feels very good. Much better than the Fender P-bass I used to own. I also have a japanese-made Fender Jazz fretless, and the Ibanez plays just as sweet. Wonderful for anyone wanting a contemporary sound. I've been playing for about eight years from rock and pop to jazz and funk and this bass can handle it all.
