    Been playing music for over 30 years but never picked up a bass. Got this for me and my kids and we love it! Higher quality than I was expecting for this price point. Enough adjustments for the pickups for our purpose. We're having a great time with 5-string bass.

  • Excellent value!

    I play just for my own fun, and have playing off/on for 30+ years. This bass is easy to play, nice neck, great sound. A lot of tonal variation with the electronics. Definitely worth the price!

  • Good solid bass. Ibanez makes great products. Guitar center!

    Got this bass to add to my arsenal and for practice and small gigs. It's a good, working bass in its price range. Maybe if it had a three-band eq, I would give it a five, but hey, that's why I have an SR 505 as my main axe

  • awesome bass nice sound good color

    Weight of instrument?

    Open Reply - Thomas
    All basses vary depending on the density of the wood. Even the same model can vary up to a 1.5 lbs Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Bass Guitars are generally between 8.00 and 10.00 lbs. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. This will be approximately 8.5 - 9.5
