Sound: Great sound and shaping, cleanly emulating bright P to mellow J to a cool rock throaty mid growl all it's own. Sweet sounds are easy from this bass. Feature: Bartolini pickups and EQ are flexible and accurate. Mid adjustment is powerful, nice wide template of sonic options without the questionably unusable sounds/features some seem bent on providing. Knobs and tuners are die cast metal. Feel is solid and approaching elegant for a bass in this range. Ease of Use: Great low action out of the case, minimal buzz, but it is there with first setup. Appears to be relatively easy to setup, but did not see the need to, so will find out eventually with string change probably. Nice new bouncy crisp Elixer strings should last a while with some basic care! Quality: I have owned a few other basses, fender, and a previous ibanez sr-500 that served me well. I can't speak to the super high end "rick" quality, never owned one, although played some and they were great. This is a perfect working mans or advanced beginner bass for studio and stage, it may find it's way to the hands of pros easily as well. It looks plays, and sounds great, way beyond it's price tag. Even though I have not been crazy about "flat" finishes on other instruments. This one just plain works! When some of my friends came by the immediately noticed it and said it looked "bad@ss!" Very nice flame to the maple, no rough edges, glue sots, dead spots, or cut corners in the overall design finish that I can find. Some previous reveiwers said they had dull fret markers, mine look nice, not bright really. I'll take the classy look of subtle pearl inlay over boring obvious white markers anyday. Value: Fantastic value! Manufacturer Support: well...uh...haha...have not dealt with much, but would not look forward to trying...with a massive company like ibanez, somewhat removed from the common musician. Maybe if you have an endorsement you would get a call back. Most stuff i fix on my own or take to a local shop. The Wow Factor: I wanted it...and got it...yes. Overall: You get what you pay for...and more, great looks, solid flexible sound, very comfortable to play (for me at least) great in recording/live performance applications. I started on Ibanez and I love this bass. I will hopefully and likely hold onto and play this bass for many many years to come.

Sound: I still get some fuzz out of it when recording. And I have some problems with electronics. I had to cancel my first live because of crackling noise which came from electronics when I touched the electronics cover on back. Feature: The best and the worst thing is neck-thru construction. It makes nice sound but it demands soft picking on strings to avoid fret fuzz. Altough I've played with fretless bass before so problaby it is my fault too:P Ease of Use: In my oppininon it is easy to use it. Great playability. Altough the body is lightweight and little. Easy to handle because of thin neck. Quality: Made in Korea. Actually when I opened the back cover would have expected more than taped wires. I had to put some soft material between electronics and cover to enusre that the electronics wont move and cause crackling noise. Value: 900$ Manufacturer Support: My retailer is problaby on of the worst. At the beginning it seemed nice but afterwards they didn't even answer to my e-mails when I had troubles. The Wow Factor: I wanted it. Overall: What can I do...I have to say its OKEY

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: I love it. The best bass that ever happened to me. Feature: The neck is shorter for the people who have short fingers can play without the stress on their fingers. Quality: One piece of wood. The body and neck are all together. Amazing or what? Value: Worth all of my money. The Wow Factor: One of my buddies (who also plays bass) was drooling over it when he saw it. Is that hot enough for you? Overall: I will own thins bass for the rest of my life. i love it that much.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Coupled with my DigiTech BP200 effects board, this bass gives me an impressive array of tonal possibilities. It has a sweet, clean sound, both at the bottom and high ends, and the EQ is much more comprehensive than on any other bass I've ever played. Feature: No included accessories, but it doesn't really need any. Quality: Looks as beautiful as it sounds. The neck-through body really makes the bass feel like it was carved from one piece of wood. All of my musician friends have been very impressed with this instrument. Value: Folks were surprised by how little I paid for this bass - from what I'm being told, it's a bargain at three times the price. Manufacturer Support: I haven't needed their technical support. The bass has been just great in the couple of months that I've owned it. The Wow Factor: My drummer, who also plays bass, is already trying to relieve me of this bass. I've told him, "You can have it when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers." I hope he just thinks I'm kidding - I'm afraid he might actually kill me for this instrument! Overall: A 45th-birthday present from my wife, and a perfect compliment to my 8-year-old Ibanez SR400. I adore this bass, and I'm sure I'll own it forever - unless I decide to buy another SR900.
