The guy is nasty, vindictive and the last place I would buy any bass equipment from. He is not as bad as the infamous guy from Buzzard Bass (now closed I think) but he is certainly is in the same general boat. Get on his bad side, return a product, and he will ban you for life. So ridiculous...

Gave up looking for the Sadowskys and went instead with a set of light gauge LaBella Low Tension Flexible Flats on my Fender P. They sound pretty darn good to me and not nearly as stiff as regular La Bella Flats or as floppy as TI flats. As far as I'm concerned they can stay on forever...

I got my new lefty 1200 a few weeks ago and love it. I can dial in just about any sound I want - from rock to blues to modern, you name it. This is a VERY versatile bass and a looker for sure. And the famous thin Ibby neck makes playing for my short fingers a joy. I have Ernie Ball Slinky...

Thank you both. Just what I needed to hear. Now if I can just find the Sadowskys. Pretty scarce online these days.

Hi. Can someone tell me how these two compare as far as tension? I'd like to give one or both a try. Too bad that DR only offers one gauge. Thanks. I prefer a little flexibility. As for sound, I know it's subjective but feedback is appreciated as well.

That's what I am hoping for too Spazz. I am not a professional bassist. Just an old baby boomer who took up the bass late in life and is having a ball. The way I look at it, any bass will sound better than me. And if it ain't 12 bar blues, it's advanced math and I run as fast as I can. :)...

Thanks Eli. Knobulation and Tweakulage are actually the names of my two children, Knobie and Tweakie for short.

What a coincidence. I was just working on this last night. Actually, if you do a Google search under "relative minor" you will find a boatload of information. Some of which is easier to digest than others.

Prairie, thank you for the honest feedback. 'Seems like folks either like or not like the Ibanez, no matter what model. Let me explain my reasoning and you can refute. Don't worry I have thick skin. Your experience is very important to me. 1. I have short fingers and the less expensive...

Thanks. Batteries today last a long time so I am not really worried about that. And it's a lightweight bass. I hear it plays like butter. You can tie your fretting fingers up with a rubber band and they still move up and down the fret board. :) I think I convinced myself. And the prices...

I am getting close to pulling the trigger on the 4-string Ibanez SR1200 left hand but I still have a few concerns... 1. How versatile in this bass? I am a finger picker, not into hard rock, funk, slap, etc. Call me a bluesman looking for a lightweight, well made, very playable and attractive...

The last time (recently) I checked there still wasn't one review on Jason's site. After all this time I find that a bit strange.

You are in good company. He locks people out all the time. A badge of honor as far as I'm concerned. I say shout your dissatisfaction about Dragonfire till the cows come. This guy is a piece of work and just about everything he sells can be found elsewhere AND you don't get the attitude...

You can also report to the Better Business Bureau closest to his location if you feel it warrants. Yes, he blocks the IPs of anyone he doesn't like. What a way to run a business huh?

Etkini.....you can't say you weren't warned. Dragon Fire and its owner should be avoided at all costs in my opinion and in the opinion of more than a few others I suspect. The folks that haven't had a problem are those that never asked for a refund, exchange, or otherwise had a problem with...
