The Ibanez Club (Part 2)

Mach1FT: What's that Radio Shack mixer doing there!!???

Here is my de-fretted SR-405, I made a veneer for the headstock to match the body. I also upgraded the pre-amp with a Bartolini NTBT 918, it's a two band eq and I installed a "dummy" pot to fill the hole.

Does anyone know what bass this is?? The bass pictured to the right. i bought it second hand, all i know is that it is an Ibanez. It says gio on the headstock, and gtr50 on the back of the headstock. Made in indonesia.

I would assume that the model is a Gio and GTR50 is the model number.

 

[Bass4lyf]

yea thats what i thought too, but i cannot find anything at all about an "ibanez gio gtr50". Is it a really old model or something. The neck/headstock is very similar to the ibanez TR models.

It was a bass sold in a starter kit with a 10 amp wat and a dvd about 5 years ago. i got the guitar version.

 

[Bass4lyf]

oh really!, heaps cool...kinda, got any links to it??

I just found out the 08 Ibanez curved top pickups are actually P-bass pickups in a dual coil shell!
LAME! LAME! LAME!
If you own one of these newer models, check it out by tapping on them with a small allen wrench while the volume is up.
I personally love my new SR-305 but, am going to be going with bart replacements as soon as I can afford them.
its too bad really, I mostly bought the bass because I was excited about the so called "NEW" curved humbuckers.
however, if you love that P-bass tone, you are in luck cuz these basses nail it when only the neck pickup is up.

I'm assuming from your description you didn't PLAY the bass PRIOR to buying yes? hence your surprise....

It may not be commonly known, but MANY many bass companies use "soapbar" cases for what are essentuially P pickups. What is common is the assumption that a soapbar shaped case means humbucker The truth is always in what you HEAR of course.....

Ironically enough, I'm sure there are players who enevr bothered to try certain bases with soapbar-shaped pickups because they were thinking they couldn't get a P-Bass tone....

If you post in here showing your Ibanez bass, I give you a number. It's kinda how this whole 'Ibanez Club' thing works. I gave you #317.
