The asthetic of this Ibanez SRX is as smooth as the tones you get out of it. Powered in part by full-range passive pickups with exposed pole pieces, you get a mammoth sound that will rumble your audience where they stand. Providing the Meaty, punch-in-the-face tone that metal bassists love, the SRX690EX is constructed with a mahogany Soundgear body design, quilt maple top and an SRX4 neck with thru-neck design that provides both ultimate sustain and smooth playing you'll find on most basses.

Like I said before...me and "Ashe" are going into the Other World together!!

Sound
This is the ULTIMATE bass! This baby has it all, the looks, the feel, but best of all?...it's got the SOUND! It's got the benefit of being able to "fit" into any sized hole...whether it's metal, jazz, blues, rock, country, and even some ethnic styles! I've used this through a solid state amp and it shakes the Earth! When I used it through my hybrid tube-solid state amp, it just OOZES that classic bass tone, round, thick, warm, fuzzy, solid! And when I turn up the heat with rock / alternative / metal...this bad boy kicks a**! You can't find a BETTER bas for THIS PRICE ANYWHERE!!!

Features
The neck on this bass is BUTTER! You might forget you're actually playing a bass and try to bend some notes up!..LoL! It's THAT smooth! And the frets were excellent.

Ease of Use
I used this bass with NO effects! And I nailed the sound I was after every time! All I did was dial in a "starter" tone, and worked it until it was perfect! I've NEVER been able to do that with a bass guitar...EVER!!!

Quality
I mean.....HELLO!!?....It's IBANEZ! 'nuff sed!!

Value
This one's getting BURIED with me! I'm TAKING this into the After-Life!!

Manufacturer Support
Since I've never had to call them I'm giving them a 10.....only because their company read more made such a great instrument that they're not needed!!!

The Wow Factor
This bass IS sexy, the smooth yet wavy lines of the quilted maple top, the charcoal transparent finish, the smooth and flawless necks & frets, and finally the humbuckers that give you everything from melloe and mild to ferocious & wild!
