Ditto!

I just picked up this bass and it is the best bass for under $300 I have ever played. I bought it as a cheap backup for my EBMM Bongo and Fender Jazz basses and haven't played anything but the Ibanez all week since I got it. It is fun to play, has superfast action, is lightweight, has a great low B, etc.....
And as stated above, it sounds great through my Ampeg B2RE.
42 pages and I didn't see another Axstar. If someone has one collecting dust, I WANT IT!!
I love this bass
Very interesting, I'm sure I spotted one of those in the video for "Dancing on the ceiling" by Lionel Richie.

Nice Iby, What kind is it?
Ibanez basses sound amazing through an ampeg, especially when im using my eq ( same head as you ), Mine is 18v active and I thought ti sounded amazing through my old 100 watt Fender amp but when I got my Ampeg I was so blown away with the tone.
Im considering replacing the MK-1 Barts in it with a higher end Bart though, not sure if I want to yet because it sounds amazing as is.
I'll post pics once I get my camera back.
GSR205FM (I think FM=Flamed Maple).
I hate to harp on price but at $340CAD (about $285USD) it was a complete steal. And that was new!
I love it when you find basses like that, that are typically considered as low end cheap instruments, My Aria IGB-40 was about $230, It was my first bass, and Its still AMAZING sounding to me.
Way cool bass!! I am really happy to see they are finally making basses with JJ pickups againDitto!

Nice bass. I have to same model, only mine is the black version.
BTW: Did/have you had any problems with the freatboard around the 6th fret on the low B?. A few days after I got my GSR, I had problems (major fret buzz) with the 6th freat on the low B. I`ve fixed it now (many adjustments on the neck, & bridge), but it was freagin annoying while it lasted.
just joined the ibanez club.
picked up a srx400 and srx500 in the span of a few days. think i got a good deal both basses for $400.
pictures will be posted as soon as i get home from work.

I like that Bass a lot. how is the B string, is sloppy at all?
I gotta SR1000 Prestige, best decision i ever made buying this bass, plays and especially sounds INCREDIBLE. Fraid i aint got a picture without me in it but its the 4 string version of the six string near the start of the post that every1 keeps quoting
I dont have my camera back yet, the Pentax Customer service is horrible, I havent heard from then in 2 weeks.
Anyway, I borrowed a friends camera, Pretty bad quality but here it is.
My sexy Ibanez BTB450QM in Natural Brown Burst, and no the bass isnt small, Im just 6'4", and make any comments about scenery you want, I know a lot of you enjoy that haha
