its been great for the last few weeks i actually got to use it before i got called up for work. the pickups (bartolini usa customs) are some of the cleanest ive ever heard, that was the first thing i noticed when i plugged in. it doesnt get muddy at all on th B, and ive had it tuned down...

just purchased a new ibanez sr 5005e (love it by the way) just wondering if there was anybody else on here with one of the series and what your opinions are on them and also any issues in terms of reliability.

i had the same issue, playing metal, money was tight, and both my guitarists were running half stacks, i picked up my peavey 410 cab for a peavey max 450 head and found i still couldnt cut through / feel the bass. so i added a peavey black widow 18" ( haha and for those who think using a peavey...
