Ibanez K5

When I first heard that this bass - Ibanez K5 - is endorsed by Fieldy, I had to ask myself who the hell is Fieldy?!!!I'm 40 yrs old and it's definetly out of my time. Then I looked in the net and learned all about the Korn.
I do not like the style of music they play. However, I got to give him a big hand. This bass is fantastic!!! Plays a lot better than
a Fender Dimension V I was about to buy and it's very versatily as well.
Don't let the endorsement fool you if you are not a heavy Metal player. It has a great thump and adjusting the EQ to your taste you may find many other tones.
I recommend it as a great buy.

I had the chance to play a few Ibanez basses the other day. I was impressed. I think that they offer everything from decent low-end basses to outstanding mid/high range basses.

The only problem I have is that they offer so MANY models, that I can't begin to say which one would be the ideal one for me.

However, I did try a BTB1000e that I thought was FANTASTIC! Definitely Gas-able!
