I recently bought this 2007 Ibanez SR1000EFM off of Reverb: I've been wanting one of these for 10 years, and I finally have one! Here are some more shots of this bass: Check out how thick the flamed maple top is!! The preamp is shot, so I have a different one coming this week. Busted preamp or not I played it this weekend at church and it sounds pretty darn great! Very full and tight sound. We'll see how it really sounds once I get a fully functioning preamp in there! I'm getting used to having no forearm contour. The body is curved, which helps. I so like the thick body and slightly fuller SR neck. I'm not crazy about the super thin edgy body shape on the new SR's It's a thumbrest, BTW...
interesting curves on that ax --- i think it's cool! congratulations on your "big pics" and your new instrument!
Congrats. What preamp did you get? I have the same model and the preamp is acting weird in mine as well. :/
