I just purchased my first self-owned bass yesterday- an Ibanez Gio Soundgear SR200. I would Love to be a numbered part of this club, and will post a picture once I get a number, but I understand if Gios aren't welcome here. =)

The SR500 sounds very clean through the PF-350 with the 2x10 cab alone, add the 115 and I get a tone which I can only describe as "full and deep, but clean". I will be getting the PF-115 cab soon and I think I'll give the GK 115 to my nephew for his Double Bass. The SR405 is a thumpy little "B", She is not nearly as sophisticated as her rich, uppity cousin that lives in the 'burbs. She loves Stevie Wonder!, (the SR 405 that is), It really helps to have the low "B". In all honesty though, I've only been playing bass for about 4 months, I'm a guitar convert who realized that I "feel" music in a different way than most guitar players and I often find myself plucking basslines on my lester.
InterestingThanks for the info
In most of the PF video demos (if not in all) that I've seen so far on the Internet the reviewer(s) decided to use a Fender type bass - that's why I was curious to see/hear how that amp works with an Ibby![]()

Yeah, I've noticed that as well. Maybe they just dont own an Ibanez bass?
But again, I havent been playing bass long, So anything new sounds good to me, lol. I can forsee my gear changing quite a bit when its all said and done. I will get a GK MB200 or GK MB500 head and a GK 210MBE cab along with the PF115 cab and do a side by side comparison.

hey there Ibanez/soundgear players. My local CL has a SG405- fiver listed for $375. is this a good deal? assuming everything works and cosmetically ok. I play Jazz and Jazz fretless 4 strings and don't know much about these basses. I'm looking to add a fiver to the arsenal without breaking the bank but I don't need a $400 wall flower either. any of you with "hands on" this axe?
cheers to all.
Hey guys, I really grown found of my 300 DX. I love the P/J set up and while Ive heard some say those pups need replaced they work well for me.
My question is this, from my researching the only P/J bass Ibanez currently has in production are some in the Gio line? Im not really looking for a new bass right now, but I like to browse around. Any reason's why they stopped putting them in other bass's?
It has the same pick ups as my 1993 SR800, so... is it? Anyone?

Also, my sr3005 is 99% restored, just need the truss rod cover, I have one coming in next month. I had my 1015 in with my tech last week for a setup, both are playing beautifully. The 3005 really is an amazing bass!

Absolutely gorgeous. I have an SRX that I was thinking about converting to this exact look - gold color with Fender style pickups. Nice!

Go Gold!
