Merry NBD! (Ibanez content)

So Santa was cool enough to stop by my house last night. He brought a B stock ibanez btb1406. It was only 950, including case. I adore this bass! It's beyond anything I thought I'd ever own. The finish is perfect( can't find the flaw that made it b stock). The sound is way "cleaner" than my fender jazz, or I suppose modern is the right term. The set up was just fine out of the box. If you ask me, it's one of the most beautiful basses I've seen. It's been way easier to adjust from 4 to 6 than I thought it would be. I'm still finding myself slip up every now and then, but I can play the songs I already knew with little to no hesitation. I've been really into tapping lately, and this thing sounds amazing for it, I actually prefer the passive tones to the active. With the 17.5mm spacing I find myself moving way faster up and down across the strings.

Anyway, sorry for the jumbled up thoughts, in just excited about this bass! I hope everyone has a merry Christmas.

 

There ya go!

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks!

 

They did. What kind of project? If you're going for a modern sound these single coils are ideal.

 

That sounds interesting! I have no experience with any other nordy's, but I've heard they provide a more modern take on the traditional P sound (depending on model), so maybe you'd want something more traditional in the center and go for the modern at the bridge. But the quick swap idea is really cool, I like it.

 

I gotcha. Well that'll definitely sound different!

 

Do it! I'd always read how awkward the transition is, but it has only been a few hours and I'm at least semi-comfortable on it.

 

Ha I'm sure. I plan on taking about 3 months before I gig on this thang.
