seriously find a music store and plug in...really good.

 

[Sterling_Bass]

Thats really impressive. I need to find a store near me that carries the 1306. What did you think of the neck?

 

[GobBass]

neck was very managebale.the owner of the store threw it up and caught it to test its weight!
fingerboard and EQ were a dream.

 

[Sterling_Bass]

Do you remember the price of it?

 

[GobBass]

€1650.

Wow.

 

[Sterling_Bass]

Is that about $2000? Thats a really good looking bass with great specs, but for that price there are many custom options.

 

[GobBass]

i would cry in joy if they made a 4 string.Low B's ain't my thing.

 

[Sterling_Bass]

GobBass, you could always restring it with a High C.

 

[Anthbass]

Those basses look fantastic, except for the gold, not a fan. I suspect the price Stateside would be less than 2k. Some pretty serious competition at that level.

 

[69nites]

+1 on the gold's bad

I still want one tho I was planning on getting a neck through BTB soon anyway. I'm not above switching them out.

 

[lillitnn92]

wow, the 1306 is stunning. i was not planning on not buying a 6 string from Ibanez because i felt i should try something different, but seeing that, i'm not so sure now.

 

[steve21]

I wish they made a special edition SR 6 string.

 

[GobBass]

wouldn't you know..THEY DID!!

the SR1000EBG...On the ibanez site

 

[i_got_a_mohawk]

Woah, those are nice, i really like the fretboard inlay design, but i think i still prefered the look of those zebrawood limited edition ones.

 

[Sterling_Bass]

GobBass, could you give a description of the tone? Is it darker than the regular BTBs because of the wenge?

 

[Baryonyx]

They look good! And I can safely say that BTB's sound good, they're just not too comfy to play (I had one for about 3 years). They're so stiff, especially between the 1st and 5th frets!

Mind you, those look very cool!

 

[Basso54]

axe the gold hardware and I'm allllll over it.

 

[Tbirdbassist]

Is that about $2000? Thats a really good looking bass with great specs, but for that price there are many custom options.

Actually, it's the same in Euro's as it is in US Dollars. It's only $2000 if you buy it form a European dealer. If Ibanez offers it in the states, it should be around $12-1300.

 

[Drake Kennedy]

That's a sexy bass. I'd take a wenge top over my maple one any day, but I'm not sure about the maple body. That's discounting the good times and sentiment that's attached to my other bass.
