• Can't Beat It

  

  As reviewed by Paul Sabre on 1/26/2010

  I simply cannot figure out how Ibanez puts out a bass of this quality for such a low price. A little fiddling right out of the box got the action low and smooth. The shape of the neck makes playing effortless. The 3 band onboard eq dials in almost any sound you need without having to go back and fiddle with the amp. The Roadster Orange finish is so much better in person than in the photos, the active pickups sound wonderful, and, a boon to all us gigging musicians, it's light. I started playing bass in High School. I'm 51 now, and have owned almost every type of bass at one point or another. P bass, couple of Jazz Basses, Yamahas, Peaveys, A Gibson, couple other Ibanez's, and this is the one I'm sticking with. For years the Jazz Bass was my main stage axe, and I used to carry a phony Hofner as a backup. I'd usually pick it up somewhere in the second set to give my shoulder a break. I am seriously considering buying another one of these for my backup and leaving everything else at home. For us working class players who simply can't afford a Ric 4003 or the Alembic of their dreams, this bass will fill the bill. At this price, you simply can't go wrong.

  great bass, i got it for christmas, i got it in the orange, the sound is great, the punch is clean, and the finger snap knob is usefull. its very light in thin. not much to adjust after pulling out of the box, though after having it for a few months, my bridge never stays, goes out every week and have to raise it, maybe i just got a bad one, overall awsome on the money and the is amazing.

  As reviewed by Alec on 6/25/2010

  I've been playing bass for little over 6 months. this bass was the first i ever owned and i must say that its fantastic. ive played it in all three shows that my band has put on and it works everywhere. it has a good low range, mid and high. i can go from rock to funk without more than a little knob twist. i bought it at my local music store and i could not be happier with it. plus the roadster orange metallic is amazing. the 24 fretts give this bass a massive range.
