Anybody tried one of these/What is in the Ibanez water supply.

[Meddle]

I must congratulate Ibanez for thoughtfully producing a bass for the blind!

Not sure how old these are but they just came into the stores here in Scotland. In the first store I saw it in the guy talked me out of even trying it, and was moaning about having to try and shift the thing (he didn't see it happening).

Who is this thing aimed at? The knobs and tuning pegs look especially cheap, and the yellow fretboard must be made of something unusual to get it that colour right?

All thoughts and ruminations welcome.

sweet jesus....That's a bass you'll never be able to lose. if it weren't for the yellow fretboard, I'd kinda like it.

Rofl, it's the Stryper bass.

It's a trend inspired by 80's guitars. They have a lot of garish color schemes for some of their guitars too. DiMarzio even sells neon colored pickups. Probably aimed at metal players going for the "ironic" look.

Also, Steelers, Penguins, Pirates fans....this is your bass. haha.

Crack that whip!

This thing says kids construction set to me. As I said I was talked OUT of playing it by the sales rep.

 

[ClydeMcAllister]

Man, get some yellow tape and stripe that thing up....
Awesome.

 

[tekhedd]

OK, that's awesome!

I don't really like the "normal" Ibanez basses; it looks like they did market research and decided bassists are terrified that they might be noticed. This on the other hand...

 

[ERIC31]

I'd play it. I'm not one of those bassists that stands in the back next to the drummer and never gets noticed. I'm dancing around and rockin out, singing backup and trying to entertain and be seen while holding down the low end!
