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!!!

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.

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!!!

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

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

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

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!

I play country, southern rock, & blues all for the same band and I have found that playing this bass straight into the amp (Ampeg SVT3-PRO) delivers beautiful sound for each style.

Absolutely gorgeous!

I love playing this bass. I've played Peavy Fury (way back in the day)and a couple of pawn shop special basses, as well as the SR200 and hands down this bass blows them all away.

Like I said before, absolutely gorgeous! Well made. Stays in tune. You can't ask for much more. Especially at the price!

Great Value!

Beautiful Bass! Front, back, fretboard, head stock!

It's got a nice 'beefy' tone, I can dial in the tones I want, but it's not the best. I am considering changing the electronics, maybe some EMG's.

It was neck through, and Ibanez SG. So for the price I figured I could upgrade what I wanted and have a really nice instrument. It was missing the smallest hex key, but I have my own so that was no big deal.

Easy to use, but still getting used to it. It's not an 'out of the box' bass.

Fit was good, all hardware is solid. I was surprised that the neck was so out adjustment, it had a crazy backbow, and every other day I am having to tweak it, it's been 2 weeks now so I hope it finally settles. I was close to sending it back. Also the finish is not the best, they didn't do a good job masking where the fingerboard meets the body, and the finish on the hardware is pretty 'splotchy'. Why am I keeping it? Well it's neck through, it looks good, it's light, and the neck is real thin and the price was too good. After the neck settles, and I change the pickups, I think it will be awesome.

It's a great bass, and I am sure it will be one of my favorites after its set.

Never dealt with Ibanez, but ZZound is great!

Its a good looking bass, and I get a lot of compliments on it. Anyone who has played a Sound Gear either loves it or hates it, there is usually not much in between.
