Ibanez 2016

[skeeler]

The 805 is on the website. The site says the string spacing is 18 mm. Neck dimensions are like this:

Scale 864mm/34"
a : Width at Nut 45mm
b : Width at Last Fret 74mm
c : Thickness at 1st 20.5mm
d : Thickness at 12th 22.5mm
Radius 305mmR
​

As for the 800, there's no data. String spacing is probably 19 mm. The text on the Sweetwater page talks about the neck being fast/thin, which would seem to indicate the normal SR4 neck, but that may have been copied/pasted from another instrument (except that it does refer to the purpleheart in the neck). The 805's dimensions are different from the those on the other SR 5-strings', so maybe the 800's are different from those on the other SR 4-strings. I hope not; I love the SR4 neck.

Both the single cuts and the fanned fret models look amazing!

Is there any new fanned fret model for 2016?

 

[skeeler]

No.

 

[Aidil]

Phew...

Anybody else notice that the BTB lineup is missing the 1400 series and the 800 series?

That explains why Sweetwater was deeply-discounting the 1400's (flame maple top, Nordstrand Big Singles) recently...

Great basses, I have one And love it.

Ibanez is killing me!!! I hope they make that poplar single cut in a 6 string!!

Ibanez seems to feed off the GAS illness.
One year they come out with a new bass that's awesome but you don't like the finishes available. Two years later, they sell it with a paint job that's your favorite color.

Not that I know of. I lumped in the SR with the fanned frets in with the new stuff I have been seeing here because my GAS is sky flipping high right now!

Thinking about getting one of these, being a lefty I have limited choices, im still a beginner so I think this will be a nice upgrade to replace my S-101 P copy, and Ill still keep my Dean Edge 4. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated

Which model are you thinking about? My only experience is with the Talman TMB100, which is only $200. One of the best bargains I'm aware of.

Looks like the blue version of the red bass Adam Nitti is playing on YouTube.

First Ibanez bass I've liked in a long time. Where did this pic come from?

Their Japan site.

Their site.

You seem to have mastered the Internets. I've looked at every bass under basses and didn't find it.

That's my fault. I forgot to say it was their Japan site.

Ibanez is showing a 4-string SRSC800 at NAMM:

Invalid Link Removed

Sweetwater has it listed for $1050.

However, Ibanez doesn't show it on their website.

4-string single cut SR bass? They read my mind.
