The Ibanez Club (Part 2)

I don't post too often here, but I'm pretty proud of my main axe. Her name is Cassandra and she's an EDA 900 in Silver Flat Metallic. The EDAs were the most radical in the Ergodyne series. She's one of the sexiest guitars ever... I can never part with her. They're not very common, so these will definitely be hard to come by in the future.

The neck is possibly the fastest and thinnest that Ibanez has ever made--definitely on par with the Soundgear necks. The electronics are interesting: a magnetic soapbar and piezos in the individual Monorail bridge saddles. I also love its light weight and balance, as well as the concave back surface.

Hope I didn't sound like an ass... I just really love this bass. :hyper:

This is one of my Ibanez Basses. It is an Ibanez SR 1306. It has a Paduk body with neck which has Paduk and who knows what on the backside, and Wenge fingerboard. The neck is a 5-piece bolt on. You can see the construction/layers near the neck pickup and the end of the fingerboard. This was my first fretted bass, bought sometime in 1994. I don't know what year it is. The bass has active electronics, and the pickups are single coils, I believe. The thing sounds like a six-string Jazz bass, which is why I bought it.

Other variations on this SR 1306 theme have different bridge designs, different brand pickups (Bartolini) and different pickup designs (Soapbars?), but mine seems to be rather unique, and I can't find anyone else here on Talk Bass who has one exactly like mine. I'm sure my bass isn't "rare" but perhaps uncommon is the best term.

I would like to know of someone else who owns a bass exactly like this one. I would further be interested if someone who also owned this bass did anything to quiet the major hiss this bass has, and also if they were able to boost the signal coming from the bass? I suppose this is a topic for another portion of Talk Bass.

Anyways, see my 2nd bass, and 1st Ibanez: Great bass. Great tone. Too much hiss. Too little signal.
