Show Your Ibanez

[Dincrest]

I figured since there are threads like "show your Warwicks" or "show your Nordstrands" and all that, that a "Show your Ibanez" thread was due. I did a search and couldn't find a "show your Ibanez" thread. Whether you love or hate Ibanez, they've kept a lot of budding bassists just starting out, in business.

So, yeah, show your Ibanezes.

And though my main player is a Warwick, my backup is an Ibanez Soundgear. Invalid Link Removed (The big sticker is a surfing alien and the rest are all Hello Kitty stickers. There's even a Hello Kitty sticker on the headstock. Hello Kitty is so cute, it's evil. Anything evil is metal. Therefore, Hello Kitty is totally metal.)

*peers down pants* Nope. I'm most certainly a dude. And, yes, I would totally rock that bass at a metal gig. I mean, heck, anyone can look all cool and tough with a black bass, but it takes a confident and foolhardy man to look all cool and tough with a black bass covered in Hello Kitty stickers! And I happen to think I could pull it off.

I have been suprisingly pleased with the btb line of Ibanez basses. I played a 6 string BTB the other day and it was actually quite decent, and for close to 800 bucks thats a great deal. Cant say anything about the tone but the higher end ones have barts so they must sound fairly good.

Here's one of 'em. A '75 Thunderbird copy. I have an '89 SDGR, but no pics of it...

Can't show my Ibanez's, haven't got any pics handy. But I do currently have an old P/J Roadstar II, and an EDA 905F. I also recently played one of the "new" SR405's at GC and thought it sounded pretty good.

I've got an Ibanez SR885, its actually quite nice. I love the tones I can get out of it.

My SRX500 hangin' with the P.

Edit: Will trade SR for a 5-string...(mine's in the $450 range).

My first bass. Its currently at my friends house because I'm not too worried about it getting beat up (20+ years old and from ebay) and well...since my friend wants to learn bass, I'm lettin her learn on my bass I guess...just hope she doesn't complain about when you first start that your fingers hurt...-.-

oh, and '79 P

This was my main gigging bass for a couple of years. It has a very good B string, better than any other Soundgear I have ever played. But the pickups and preamp are weak, it could use an electronics transplant, like most Ibanez basses with non Bart soapbars.
