Ibanez Love?

I still like my EDA900. Even have a lighter in the shape of one. Nice color on yours, that one's hard to find. I used to have a fiver in that coral red color.(actually had about five Ergodynes at one point, now down to one)

My brother has that bass. same color. it was a pretty cool sounding bass. even though I'm more into soundgear basses, I thought those ergodyne basses look interesting. makes me and my brother think of boosty collins for some reason.

"The Flock" View attachment 636965 That's my $80.00, pawn-shop Sound Gear "GiO", top row, second from the right. Top, right is the center of my heart...
What a little cutie pie!! The next budding musician...

Nice connection you got... Love my Ibanez guitars... But my current obsession... That Dean Pace there on the left... What a fun way to get into upright playing if you've never played upright before... 35" scale and a blast to play...

Just got a ATK... Killer bass... Killer tone... You don't need no stinking sting ray... If you have an ATK... I think I'm gonna get her painted... I know just the guy... ...
 
From top to bottom the Ibanez basses are worth the money. I've played the intro models and they will hang and many cases outplay many of the more expensive competition. I was a Stingray and Warwick guy until the Premium and Prestige models was introduced to me. I've never been the same in that my tone is more defined and sets in the mix so much better.

Our sound engineer pulled some older recordings from our 1st CD using my stingray and compares it to my new Ibanez basses and said there is no comparison. Ibanez blows it out of the water.

I'd never had an Ibanez but the new premiums caught my attention,I've had my SR1400TE(neckthru)since just before the holidays and am continually blown away by what a great instrument it is.

That is the one of the prettiest Premium basses along with the 1805 that I've ever seen. I've about pulled the trigger a couple times on one of them. Hope to one day have one. Big Singles area great combo in the Ibanez basses.
 
I own the GSR190 from a starter pack as my backup bass and I love the overall weight of the bass and the feel of the neck. Plus, after being shipped and left for a few days without any AC (in Central Florida) a couple of times the intonation was still solid. I can't say the same for my CIJ Jaguar bass that gets pampered.

Gotta love those 1800's!

I just bought this on evilbay and waiting for its arrival here in Alaska. I'm not sure I like the stacked tone knobs. All the other SR300's I've seen have the standard Treble/Mid/Bass knobs instead, and my SR600 has that arrangement. I really prefer that setup. The two stacked tone knobs are bass/treble. I'm wondering if I'll miss the mid knob....

Anyone have any experience with them?
