Ibanez SRX590

#3
It has the 595, the reason why I ask though is because I was thinking about getting it but I cant find no reviews or anything on it. I played it in sam ash it sounded real good, neck felt nice and fast, realy no buzz with the action set up nice and low the way I like it, could get a whole lot of different tones out of it and had a nice slap tone to.

I just want some other opinions on it though before I make a decision.

Yea true it just seems a lil weird though that no one could find anything on it or has heard of it. I mean I searched the web and realy couldn't find any real reviews on it.

Yea, I looked too and couldn't find anything either. I don't know when it was introduced as a model--it could just be relatively new.

You can look at it this way, if it was really bad I'm sure there'd be a negative review out there popping up on our google searches. A bass with no reviews is better than one with lots of negative ones.:smug:

If it's like my SRX 700 it won't have much slap tone man. But it does have a variety of tonal options...It's not bad for the price...if you want to play metal or hard rock with no slapping then it's your bass, if you want to slap then you need something else

The 700 is neck-thru and has different pups (alinco vs ceramic). They don't sound too much alike. I have a SRX505 (earlier version of the 595) and it gets great slap tones plus a nice MM style sound.

It's supposed to have that MM type sound, that's the whole idea :smug: Now IMO that 590 is far from reaching its purpose - I tested a few in the local GS and sadly they were all screwed up: a lot of craftmanship flaws (loose knobs, moving pickups, finish flaws, it felt like they were made from plastic) and the tone was horrible (very thin and lifeless, with no definition). I don't know if this was an isolated case or not, but I won't look at a 590 - ever - and this coming from an Ibanez freak :o
