I have one. I have not owned another but have played the lower level ones and mine kids much much better.

Yes Trayster2 sr500qm it is,,, i have had two ibbys before the first was a shortscale in the mid 80s,, and the second was a soundgear ,, early mid 90s,, it flat out plays better than both ,, it is just a better overall bass IMO,,pups,, preamp all of it,, and the thing looka like its on fire ,, but i have noticed not all the sr500qm's look the same.

craigslist find...SR480 Active P/J with strap(meh) strap locks and a nice, well padded gig bag for $150. Had some electronics issues but after soldering the positive wire back where it belonged and cleaning the pots, no more issues

Sounds great, plays well and looks pretty good!

Diesel Kilgore · #**526** 12-01-2012, 10:11 PM

Wow helluva deal for 120. Looks great.

Does anyone know how low the action can get on the1206e? When I say low I mean without a lot of fret buz!

Last weekend I was just browsing at a local music store I hadn't been in for years. I wasn't looking to buy anything & I saw this beauty hanging on the wall - it was preowned but in beautiful condition (less a couple of scratches on the backside). I already own an ATK Premium 5-string, and so the Ibanez brand has been back on my radar after many, many years. I recalled an SR bass that I owned 20yrs ago & noticed that this was an entry level SR that seemed to have CAP pickups (similar to the CAP's found in my ATK 805). That alone caught my attention. I had to try it - yep, blown away! The tone is fantastic - very punchy, lots of air on top, BIG tight lows. Just really, really nice. The 3-band EBQ-IIID EQ is very nice! I love Ibanez' CAP pickups. I'm digging the tone a whole lot.

Got a number already. Just wanted to show this one off. My SR605. I picked this one up last December an is my main gigging bass (my SRX505 doesn't get used as much since my metal band is on a bit of a hiatus at the moment....plus it's tuned ADGCF).

mtshaw · #**536** 12-16-2012, 05:16 PM

Hey,

Finally movied from a Jaguar SS to my first full fledged, full scale bass; and Ibanez SR750. I'm disabled and mobility impaired, so my entire family pulled together to get this for me. Having fun with my Line 6 UX2. Next wish Tone Hammer Pedal.

Number please.

Edited for somewhat better cellphone picture

PDGood · #**537** 12-16-2012, 08:31 PM

That 750 is a tone hammer.

bassist4dalord · #**539** 12-21-2012, 03:43 PM

I'll join! Number for my Ibanez AEB5E, please. Early surprise Christmas present from the wife. Soo good!

The mount for your A string looks bent on your bridge. Not really sure what could do that as there pretty solid. I'd recommend replacing that bridge.
