OK, not stupendous for anyone else but I'm a novice and this one will be my very first totally new bass. My new Ibanez GSR200FM!! Woohoo! Just got it at Alto Music in Orange County, New York. I left it there for a little tech work, so here are some pics I stole off of eBay that match it perfectly.....
hey for what it is they still play really great a kid im teaching every other week has one that I re-stringed it for him and jamed on it before i gave it back and I must say If I were a passive guy and were touring I would use one of these
That is a Awesome collection!
I am gasing for your Fodera. And that Is one of my favorite roscoes ever!
And sweet R bass
Hah, I use hair ties for sustain dampening as well. Great minds, huh?The same old bass, new photos
(sorry about the clothes, and yes, I had other clothes on me when I took the pictures)
Nice! That should be right up my alley - you know where to find me once you've recorded something. I'm eager to hear it!
Thanks for listening! I'm glad you like it.
And well, Mats G is a great example of how "disturbing" and "beautiful" can coexist. I really must see him perform some day, but I haven't had a chance to yet. Good to hear that he has a following abroad.
Enmesarra, Love the bass, and the King of Diamonds is a nice touch.
That being said, I just spent the last 20 minutes looking at Dark Knight posters from other countries.

Thanks man, I'm glad that you liked it.
By the way, The Dark Knight --> Kara Şövalye (in Turkish)
My current J bass, she's a beauty but needs a little upgrading
And my first bass, which looks nice but was a terrible terrible lump of ply:

Took this earlier today, but not with the intention of posting it here, but then I registered and realized I needed an intro someplace around here, and so here we are. \m/

I'd really like one of those. Every time I look at them, they get more and more appealing. Aesthetically, they'd go great with my indie rock/pop band. What's the sound like?

Plastic, and kind of dopey.
Haven't had the chance to play it through a real amp, and all the examples around the net are basically playing it wrong:
The best sound comes from fingering over the fret board with the lower pickup off, giving this sort of warm pop-y almost double-bass hum.
But yet all I can find is people playing it way down low with this gurgley metallic gain-y plinky-pick ness, one guy was even trying to slap it
Either way it seems to show love to slow deliberate notes, think Motown love songs, could totes work for indie.
This is my first bass and I wont ever be giving it up

Nice. I'm going to keep an eye out for one when I sell off some other stuff. Is it the short-scale, or the long-scale version (at least, I seem to recall there being a short-scale one)?
