New Econo Ibanez

Looks kind of like a Gibson Ripper.

Wonder how it balances.

 

That's just a bass version of their GAX series. Man what a crappy line of guitars that is.

 

Is the body made of plastic?

 

no colored paper is what makes up the body

 

How they can make a bass made cheaper than their GSR series is beyond me.

 

Hey! My EDA905 just read these comments, and she's very upset!

Is that a switch next to the ONE control I see?

Could this be Ibanez' answer to the Jack Casady?

Ibanez is taking over the bass world one player at a time.

I couldnt agree more, even though the first bass I REALLY liked was a GSR200 (I may have to buy one one of these days)

 

I know most of you guys are heading to the cash machine right now to get some greenbacks to buy one of these little beauties, so I figured I'd post a little info about 'em I found at the Ibanez site.

See how Mikey-boy takes care of his friends?

MU-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Have a good weekend, everyone.

I expect a review Monday morning.

I dig it... Switch out that pup with a decent soap bar, new tuners, new bridge, that thing would probably be killer.

 

yah uh...ok.....

I kinda like the design though...and there's nothin wrong with single pickups...but a 3 way switch rather than a pot for tone control? come on....many pots have a thing that kinda sticks at the halfway point...that, full on and full off. but no, that's too hard for beginners.

It would be much better if there were no controls at all, just a jack.

 

I'd rather buy a better bass.

I do like Killdar's idea of no knobs though. Just an on/off switch would be cool.

 

my guitarist smashed the guitar version to pieces on stage. that's how much he liked it.

 

What are the three positions? Good, Not As Good, Sucky?

 

It prob won't be too bad of a bass, at least its got an Alder body. The 3 switches are probobly coil tapped, Top, Both, and Bottom coil. There kinda is a bass with not much more than an on off... the Mark Hoppus all it has is a volume knob.

 

Ditto..
I'd just add: New Body, new headstock, new electronics..
