Ibanez Basses?

[funkybass]

I saw an Ibanez ad in the new bass player and it had your name listed. Are you now playing Ibanez? If so, could you give us some info on your Ibanez basses?

hi funkybass!

ibanez is currently building some basses for me, but they haven't been completed yet. my first one will be based on a 6 string soundgear prestige, but will have some elements to it that are different. i'll be posting pics and more info once i finally get it in my hands.

not leaving it or getting rid of it.... just opening a new chapter in my life in terms of sponsorship and cultivating some new relationships. this new bass's sound and setup will have some traits very similar to the warrior 6 i have been playing for years.

You made my BTB Prestige sound dang good when you played it. Wish I could do the same.

Almost done with flood repairs. I have my first audition coming up in November to play in my church's praise band. I've been playing as much as I can. Hope I get the chance to play for something besides the four walls in my basement.

so glad to hear there is light at the end of the tunnel with the house, my friend. a lot of folks don't realize that the flood damage still lingers among may nashville residents, like yourself. best of luck on your audition and let me know how it turns out!

A 6 string Ibanez with wide spacing.

looking for that too!

Is it possible we could see an Adam Nitti signature Ibanez?

maybe in the future, but not right now. i think we have a lot more ground to cover first before something like that comes to fruition. i'm certainly open to it, though if it makes sense.

[chadhargis]

Should have had you sign mine, then I'd have had an Adam Nitti "signature" Ibanez.

LOL!!

Actually, I've been plunking around on my G&L more and more lately. I've been digging the passive tone.

Makes sense. I'm anxious to see what you guys come up with.

That plus the pre and pickup design will be different than the stock version I would guess.

Wow Adam!

Ibanez!?

I told you back in 2005 that I got a hold of 4 Ibanez BTB's, and you were happy for me.

But you did not email me when you started to talk with the I-Team, you must have lost my contact data.

I cannot wait for you to come on board! I probably will not be able to afford another Instrument ever again, but I will be very interested in the Reviews if this works out.

Some complain about the Korean Barts that are on my basses, some might not like their DNSR or reg. Ibanez pups, but they really do fine for me.

I think that overall Ibanez makesa solid product, and realistic in value.

I hope you know that it was your point about punciness of Bolt Ons that made me settle in on my Bolt ons.

The fact that there are 2 stringers in the neck, as opposed to one or none, has me looking back at my boutique experience with some satisfaction of education.

I hope that market and manufacturing forces allow you to work with them and bring the aspects that you value to the Market in the Ibanez name. I know they make solid Basses that can shred with the best.

Let the snobs give away their money.

Peace, Blessings, and Bass

looks like Adam´s new bass finally arrived, looked the pics on facebook and i can say that is the best looking ibanez i´ve ever seen! hope that becomes a signature model

[chadhargis]

This thread is worthless without pics.

Let's see this bass!

I admit, I love my Ibanez. Bought it used for not much money and it's a nice bass. I've had a gaggle of pro players play it (including Adam) and they all seem to think it's a nice instrument. Of course, they could have been being nice and didn't want to tell me it sucks. LOL!

I own 2 Ibanez basses (SR and SRX). There really isn't a better bass around in the price range of (non-prestige) Ibanez basses. I haven't played an Ibanez that I didn't like. Keep in mind, I've never tried one of the Gio models.
