Right, I keep forgetting about that, I saw it. I'll get to it tonight.Probably for the best….I had decided at work today that if that one slot was still open when I got home, I was ordering a Slampegg also.
I’ll just have to “make do” with the JCE X and UA I’ve already ordered….lol. (Also, please check your pm’s regarding the swap from the SH to the UA).
Oh man. I am not building anything tonight. So I picked up my new head yesterday, and I just picked up my new bass 15 minutes ago. Everything I thought it would be and more.
I love the feel of the Ibanez SR, so I stepped up a model or two. Ibanez SR1600D in "autumn sunset sky" finish.

I was waiting on it, and the wife finally asked, “what’s with all this high dollar sushi you’ve been ordering?” Lol! I can also see you popping the hood on that streamliner and the hamster wheels spinning!Oh and also I should clarify, not building anything tonight was an exaggeration, I will of course be working on the January batch. I finished the last of the enclosures last night so all powdercoating and printing is done, now it's board preparation/get things ready for assembly time time.
Also sometime tonight I'm planning to go through and update the website for the January orders people have requested be held until handwired options are available, so if you asked for your January build to be held you should receive an email tonight confirming it (I think).
My best friend makes fun of me because usually when I get a new piece of gear I take it apart before I even plug it in, so as soon as I mentioned that I got a new amp he asked what the guts looked likeI was waiting on it, and the wife finally asked, “what’s with all this high dollar sushi you’ve been ordering?” Lol! I can also see you popping the hood on that streamliner and the hamster wheels spinning!
Beautiful bass!
Ibanez makes nice basses. Especially once you get up above the 800 series and the prestige’s.
3 out of my 5 basses are Ibanez models.

I think it may have been, I saw a couple threads about them where he said he services them for TB members, but didn't see him explicitly mention it was his design.@Sushi Box FX Is the Streamliner one of Andy's designs ? I'd imagine you guys could lose me in a nano second of conversation ;-)

Yup, I actually bought my SR500 the day after I bought a brand new Spector. I was working in a music store that was a Spector dealer, and I special ordered a Legend X in holoflash finish. It finally came in and I took it home, and felt pretty good about it. Then the next day someone came and traded in an SR500 for something else, don't remember what. But I liked the look of it so I plugged it in, and man that contoured body and slinky neck won me over, and the Bartolini mk i pickups aren't too shabby either. I clocked out, drove home, came back with the Spector, and took the SR500 home, and didn't regret it one bit. The Spector was cool, but the SR500 was me. Geeze, that was 6 years ago.I remember when I was first starting out on bass ~8 years ago now and looking at options, and was like "Soundgear? Cmon, that doesn't sound cool at all" and went elsewhere, thinking they were some square budget indie kid instrument. I was not very good at the internet then, or at braining.
Now I'm on my second SR (first was the single-cut SRSC805), the SR1346B 6-string from the Premium line. It's a completely killer 6-string bass and a looker in its own right. But man...the Prestiges are Ibanez realizing they're really good at building gorgeous hotrods.
And looking back, I'd now recommend even the entry-level SRs for being lightweight, slim-necked, and great modding platforms with quality control that puts a lot of competitors to shame.
And to not completely thread de-rail: they sound good thru Sushi Box pedals.
Mmkay, just a sec.Pics or it didn’t happen![]()
Anything in particular you'd like to see? I don't have time to grab pics if every single one individually, but if there's a anything anyone would like to see I can grab them.Pics or it didn’t happen![]()

Good luck with your Pedalnetics venture. Glad to see your first order!My primary is an Ibanez BTB846V; I haven't gigged with anything but it and my fretless Ibanez in years now.
Them and Schecter seem to be my goto's anymore, until I decide to drop the 3k on a custom![]()

No name anywhere on it, but you can pretend it's yoursA Finally in a white box with my name on it ?
