Feature:
I bought mine "used". I don't think anyone had previously owned it, but it had some chips taken out of the finish so I think it was a scratch & dent. It didn't come with anything. It's not made of the best of anything, it's just a standard-issue bass guitar. No frills.

Quality:
Mine came with damages to the finish, so I got it at a steep discount. I've never owned an Ibanez, and I've never been the biggest fan of their guitars, but this seems to be a pretty solid bass. I've only owned it for a couple of months now, and I haven't had the chance to take it onstage or on the road yet, but I feel pretty confident that it's not going to fall apart on me. I just need to keep a few spare batteries around for the active pickups.

Value:
Well I ended up trading in my old Yamaha BBN5 and a little Fender Bassman 60 amp, so I only paid $19 for the Ibanez, but seeing what people are paying for used ones, I'd say it's well worth it for a used one. I've seen the price for a new one, and I think that's a bit high.

Desirability:
It's a great, no-frills bass for people who want to say to others, "I'm not here to look good, I'm here to play some music." It's not covered with a bunch of fancy knobs and switches, and it doesn't have some elaborate etched pickguard or a body shaped like a dollar sign. It's the type of bass that ends up being some famous musician's "first bass" that sells at auction for half a million dollars. It's a simple, classic design that never goes out of style, like a pair of Chuck Taylors.

Sound:
It's got a nice strong tone. Punchy and crunchy, clear highs and powerful lows. Definitely more suited for rock music, but with the right amps and cabs, it could really fit any genre. I run mine through an old Bass Pod, a Boss OD-20, and two Line 6 DL4s into a fairly small GK Backline 250 amp and 4x10 cab. It's actually a little too much for the amp to handle!

Ease of Use:
It's a bass. If you play bass, you can play this.

Support:
Haven't had to yet.

Overall:
I could imagine myself replacing this bass with an actual Fender P-Bass, assuming that I had the money for one of those. For someone like me who is not a professional musician and who plays mostly as something fun to do, it meets all of my demands.

Feature:
No frills, just what you need, nothing you don't.

Quality:
Impressive for the price. I just needed to add a little neck relief (.02"). I can set the action on this bass lower than some guitars I have owned. (5/64" on the E and 4/64" on the G string). Fit and finish is flawless.

Value:
You can't get a better bass for $250.

Desirability:
I bought one.

Sound:
This bass sounds like my old 75 P-Bass.

Support:
Never needed.
