Another "Identify This Bass" Thread

Anyone have the slightest idea what brand of bass this is - I really dig the tone. I'm usually pretty good at bass ID'ing, but not this time.

Thanks.

Hmmm...and I used to own a Soundgear many years ago, my identification skills are slipping. Perhaps also its time I got out and played some Ibanez stuff again.

Thanks liam_g.

 

Been cruising youtube for soundclips - sound pretty good too. I guess its been so many years I've kinda half forgotten about Ibanez. I must make a point to try out an SR505 if I get the chance. I'm thinking of a new bass in about 1-2 months - Fender Jazz 24 and this Ibanez will be on the short list to try out.

 

Awesome - thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.

 

Follow up:

Got out on my lunch hour to try out a Fender 24 and an Ibanez SR505 - grabbed the SR504 first and couldn't put it down. It sounded amazing, maybe the Bartolini MK-1's and the 3-band Bartolini EQ had something to do with that - incredible feeling neck, very unfinished feeling, very Stingray-like. Been a looooooong time since I've owned any Bartolini equipped basses. Now I remember what I've been missing - incredible stuff. Anyway, I was so caught up in putting the 504 through the paces, I never got around to trying out the Fender - I think a new bass is calling my name. Help! Seriously, if you're like me and had forgotten about Ibanez stuff or the Fieldy-association has planted a big misconception about what these basses really sound like, you might be WAY surprised - I was...wow. This thing had floor rumbling, super growly, tight low end & the richest, sweetest treble I can ever recall hearing. Can't say enough about how impressed I was & thanks to the fellow TB'ers who ID'ed the bass out of the video clip for me. I'm sure I'll be purchasing this bass in a few weeks - a review will be sure to follow.

Thanks again.

 

You ain't kidding - it's got some incredible low-mid punch. Unbelievable how much the SoundGear line has changed since I last owned one (probably 1989 or so - showing my age ) They sure didn't sound like this as I recall it - then again, different pickups/electronics back then. Anyway, long story short - change of plans...I'm buying this bad boy in 2 days, not 2 months.

 

Can't believe I've overlooked this bass - I guess my experiences with the SoundGear stuff in the past (albeit a looooong time ago) left my thinking I'd "been there, done that" with the SoundGear line...boy was I shocked to hear what an improvement is going on these days. I can tell you this is NOT the tone I remember - every note is so defined & growly w/sweet treble. Major improvement to go with the Bartolini electronics package.

Yes, the string spacing seemed on the smaller side, but my Schecters also have what some consider a tight spacing, so I think it will be a non-issue for me. Speaking of which, I may have to consider some Bart MK-5's for my Schecter Elite now...
