Ibanez SRX500 Bass

Lazzaro · 16th August 2003, 10:35 PM

This is the one I'm planning to get as soon as I can get enough money together. Just wondering if anyone has one or has played one and what you thought of it ?

ibanez basses rule. I got 2 of em, a 5 string and a four string. Thats just my personal opinon. Apparnatly warwicks are the way to go bass wise but fuck what 'they' say.

any specific model ?

*Lynz* · 17th August 2003, 11:17 PM

musicmans all the way

But thats a pretty cool bass.

Lazzaro · 17th August 2003, 11:20 PM

It's also £700 cheaper than a musicman

I also use an ibanez bass, i use the GSR-205, 5-string bass.

the sound you get is great, you can get a really clean sound so it sounds a lot better if you use affects

I use an Ibanez bass too, it's a GSR-200. It's pretty good after the action was sorted out, really easy to play now.
For some reason it's always a bit dodgy when I'm recording stuff, like i have been this week. It always sounds out of tune to the rest of the band when you listen back to it, maybe the intonation or something.

I saw a bassist use one of them ones but 5 string at a gig once. Fuck knows about the sound but he had a cool beard

I suggest an Ibanez SR300 DX or a 305 DX

I've got one of them- the action is really painful on the fingers, but i've left it because i'm a guitarist and it's useful exercise. You get a great sound out of an Ibanez though

My sister has a mid-priced ibanez bass or some description, i can't remeber what kind. It's really nice though, the neck is so fucking thin it's unreal. Quality sound as well.

This is exactly the same bass, as my wife and I are going halfers on for my birthday on October. It looks almost brown from the picture but is actually black in colour, with a slight shimmer through it. This is an easy to set up bass, ideally suited to heavy music. The bottom-end is immense. I played this bass through my own amp (Ashdown Mag 250 4x10 Combo) for about 2 hours in Sound Control in Dunfermline about a month ago. It sounds superb.

I am also a big fan of the Warwick Steamer single-pick up, but this is about £80-£90 more than the Soundgear and doesn't sound any better. If you play heavy music this is probably the best bass you will get for the money, unless you go second-hand and if that is the case in my opinion Musicman (if you can get one cheap) is the best option.
