This is killer for $884! That is a real temptation for a tax refund purchase.

Wow!! Beautiful. If that was a five string, I'd be very tempted.

If I were a 6 string player that would be gone. I've got an Ibby BTB405QM that was my main player from '01-07' and it served me quite well during those years. Actually, I could go back to playing it if I didn't like my Jazz so much.

Hot!

I'm really waiting patiently for Ibanez to make a single-cut bass - this bass would wear that look well.

Yeah single cut would be awesome, but Hoshino won't be making any of those anytime soon.

Call me crazy but I find the yellow/orange color horrible! There are some pics of this same model at NW, here:

I don't think the color is horrible. The top looks alot like the Z series MTD Kingston.

[cassanova]

That things sweet and at a reasonable price.

It is sweet, but I have my eye on some fives and fours on Ebay too.

 

[Solarmist]

Grab it Doc - You don't have an Ibby yet

That same amber burl top also come on the SR650PB (4banger)

I have played the 5 string version, it really sounds very nice for the price, i cant get over how good the quality is on these things, it sounds like a $2500 bass, the sound is clean and does not distort, it has a very modern mild growl to it, it is just evenly smooth, the only slight negative was the neck felt a little to wide near the nut, but i could over look it, it just wow's me every time i play one.

That really sounds good because I am definitely more of a five string guy.

I've spent some time with this 6 string BTB in my local music shop before. I wasn't a fan of the orange tinge the woods had and I found a few flaws in the woodwork and finishing of the one I was playing.

Otherwise a very good feeling and sounds bass for me, but here I'm not going to pay $1800'sih for one. I'd buy a Berg NV215 for that money and get some change from my $1800.

To me, the color is a little bit too much saturated, but that's just my opinion based on the pics, haven't seen it in person yet.

Just a quick question: Is this model a Prestige BTB? The 2009 SR Prestige is made in Japan, so is it the same for this one too?

 

[woo10]

Never mind, I zoomed in on the back of the headstock, I think it says "Made in Indonesia", so it is not even Korean made? Then why does the serial number has a PB at the end, I thought this meant it was a Prestige? I'm confused

 

[timzrage]

No BTB Prestiges are made anymore. I read the other day that the last year BTB's were made in Japan was 2005, is it true that many 1205's and 1305's are Korean made? I have a BTB 1005 that's MIJ, I love it. One of the best basses that I've played.

 

[MrMe]

GAS! REally nice top on that one!

 

[bassist 4 life]

go for it, you know you want to buy it.

I thought they had been talking about making one for ages? It is no matter, I'm more a fan of Ibanez guitars than their basses. I like their basses, but IMO their guitars are the best money can buy.
