My sr405 arrived today, WOW. The finish, the quality of hardware, surprisingly good (especially at this price point). Beautiful. Plugged it in, went through the paces, it sounds even better than I was anticipating. VERY versatile with the pickup HB / Single Coil options, and the active EQ, I can't imagine a tone or style that this won't do. I checked every fret up and down the neck, no buzzing, pretty amazing setup for a factory bass. Highly recommended, and though it was on backorder for a while, service from zZounds was excellent.

I've been playing bass since age 15 and I'm 50 now. I like all styles from classic rock to R&B , Reggae , and Metal. I owned a brown burst version of this bass manybyears ago. I fell on hard times and had to pawn it. All I could think of any time I played another bass since then was how much I missed this bass. Thanks to zZounds Inwas abke to buy a grey burst version and a wicked Ampeg amp. If youbare into diverse music styles this is a one stop instrument. It does it all and sounds incredible doing it. From deep fat round sound to soeed metal you can dial it all in with this little gem. If you are a beginner you can use this one bass to find your sound...if you are 50 and have owned 8 different bass guitars you will be impressed as well. If you could own only one bass this one would be it. Price is insanely low for the comfort , looks, and sound in this one bass.Ibanez has become my go to ever since the first one. Inhave a five string fretless with fretlinesmarked on the neck I bought from zZounds as well and its incredible as well.

Ok this is a great intermediate bass! Has a tone that cuts like a knife through the mix!!! It is pretty brutal through my Darkglass Alpha Omega. I am very surprised by the pickups, I usually change factory one right away, but, these sound pretty awesome! Not as warm as a basswood body, this as more of a piano tone, very clear and even tone. The set up from the factory was really good as well, it was damn near still in tune when I recieved it! the only thing I was not all that impressed with was the figuring of the maple top, kinda dull and boring. but it sure plays nice!I would highly recommend this as a first bass or an upgrade! the neck is really fast and thin, with nicely dressed frets, very easy to play!!

This is a very nice bass, with some minor set up I have this thing playing like a dream, the tone has a wide spectrum, and the Finnish and feel are superb

I would stay away from these cheap Ibanez basses if I were you. The scrappy bridge is made of the cheapest Asian steel they could find. It will probably last you around 5-6 years if you are lucky.You still see Fender basses from the 50's that are still being played. The hardware on those basses were made of the best American materials.
