That middle one has caught my attention many times. Overall, Ibanez has...They seem to provide crazy value for the money.
Although, both my in person experience with one and a friends experience with a different one left me kinda scarred of the brand.
No matter, that blue one! Looks way better in your photos than in those clean photos from retailers. Truly, looks awesome!
How the sound, play feel? Got any clips of what it sounds like? Do you wish anything was different about it or are you super happy with it?
I need info

Nah, you don't get off that easily! What concerns or issues did you have? Hate to see you turned-off by the brand.
Riis
It plays, feels and sounds great. The spacing is tight which I like. The overall neck shape feels like a shallow D shape to me. Very comfortable. It really has a modem feel to it.That middle one has caught my attention many times. Overall, Ibanez has...They seem to provide crazy value for the money.

Of course, don't worry. I was busy but now I have the time to write some more.
So my experience is with the EHB bass - the one floor model I got my grubby handlers on was not great - the knobs were literally falling out of the bass and were loose to the point where you could push them inside the electronics cavity if you wanted to. This is more on the shop, I guess, than the bass, but still. The knobs that weren't hopelessly broken didn't do anything. I played through an ampeg Micro vr stack and the bass controls didn't seem to do much. Other than that, the whole bass was just too small for me and felt kind of like a broken toy.
That is the only experience I've had with an Ibby.
My friend had, I believe, a BTB MS 6 stringer as a backup to his Le Fay but he said that the wood felt very low quality/pliable almost. He sold or returned it by now and has a Music Man bass as a backup instead, which he likes more. In my mind that took me back to the moment where I had my first bass and it was made of basswood. That wood is too soft, so I can understand where my friend was coming from.
That is all, sorry you both had to wait - I'm at work.
