    I've played it a bunch of times in Sam Ash. The first time I saw it, since it was Ibanez, and Fieldy's signature bass, I wasn't gonna bother(his bass tone is pretty rancid, lol)..but some buddies there told me to try it.

    It was very light, sleek and elegant and had a nice resonant body, and when I plugged it in, I swear I was playing that thing for nearly an hour. Its definitely a very nice bass for the price, the low B didn't seem to have any issues at all.

    too bad it is a sig model, fieldy's no less.
     
  6. If it wasn't for the fact that it's his signature (and it has that rancid inlay), I'd be all over that bass. It's very very purty. Nice colour, nice shape, beefy p'ups, all the good stuff.
     
  7. I played one not two days ago, and was blown away by the natural resonance and tone. I don't even mind the artist signature on the headstock, but the huge inlay is a dealbreaker.

    To wish for a K5 minus the inlay with the pickups/electronics and monorail bridge from the 3005... :eek:

    Yeah, I hate the "K5" inlay but I like the headstock (except Fieldy's signature on it:D :D)
