5.0 out of 5 stars great bass
great bass. well it has it's limitations. I'm a guitar player so for what it's worth. well made. intonation is good. the action, distance the strings are from the frets, is good. good sound. I would recommend for the beginner and intermediate. I ended up putting flat wound strings on mine and Seymour duncan pick ups in it just for an upgrade. I play in a band and wanted a beefier sound. but overall it's great. I would highly recommend it. good value for the money.
5.0 out of 5 stars awesome bass at a great price
this has to be one of the best buys ive made! plays awesome after a minimal amount of bridge set up(has a slight fret buzz ). super light action, the stock pick ups are just fine and has to be the LIGHTEST bass ive ever played...my old stage go to was an Aria Pro beast, thing probably weight clove to 30 lbs but had a super fat sound that was perfect for live, never wanted to use my 57 fender p bass for live shows!! i recently got back into playing and this bass paired with the Fender Rumble amp is absolutely perfect!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value, but be prepared to setup & tune!
This came with a tag indicating that it had been inspected and setup at the factory. But, shipping and handling must have had an effect on it (and/or they weren't careful at the factory) since it had multiple setup issues:- Neck curvature was incorrect (not concave enough)- E string bridge position was too low (and other strings were slightly uneven)The manual shows you how to fix the neck curvature and the tool is included in the box. The manual didn't say how to adjust the bridge, but it was pretty easy once I found some documentation online: insert a small allen wrench into the holes on both sides of where the string enters the bridge area. Once I fixed those two issues and did basic tuning (strings were about a minor third too loose for EADG tuning), it played great! I like that it's a bit lighter than my other bass (Squier vintage PJ) and has a flatter, slightly slimmer neck. I also like that the neck back is a smooth satin finish (vs. a sticky high-gloss finish on my Squier).Conclusion: I strongly recommend that you have an allen wrench set (w/ options around 2mm for the bridge) and a feeler gauge in order to perform setup when you get your instrument. The manual tells you proper string heights.Electronics and knobs seem fine. There is one knob that mostly stops, but you can push it a bit further. But, generally, the knobs respond as described according to the diagram at ibanez.com and changes are continuous as you'd expect.While getting the bass set up, I noticed some buzz coming out of my amp (Rumble 40). I was worried about electronics quality, but tracked the problem down to overhead lighting in the room that was on a dimmer circuit. Once I turned off those lights, the buzz went away and I got a very clean sound.I had played this model before and noticed that it was easier to play than my Squier. That's still the case. Only two things left to decide are (1) whether to put on flatwounds, and (2) what to do with my Squier :)
4.0 out of 5 stars May need a setup
Quite a nice looking instrument. When mine arrived it was untuneable much less playable. There was a back bow to the neck that offered no relief at the frets to most of the way up the neck.Once I adjusted the truss rod, I was able to tune up to a starting point at which time I readjusted until it tuned and played fine. I don't know if it was the weather it went through on it's way to me or it was just horribly setup at the factory.This is my first bass guitar. I've been playing guitar for a long, long time and just couldn't resist getting this bass at the price it was listed at. As I expected there is going to be quite an adjustment to my playing as the lower frets are so far apart and so are the strings but I'm having fun discovering what it's like to play bass. I think for the beginner bass player who doesn't have guitar experience this is a great bass to start with. I find myself looking for the missing strings, especially that third jump between G and B, LOL. Playing guitar for so long has crippled me so far but as I said, I'm having fun. The active equalization really boosts the bass which is welcome considering I crank the treble and midrange up all the way on my amp and mostly keep the tone on the bass all the way up as well. My ear has trouble discerning the really low notes and cranking the tone and treble/midrange on the amp helps quite a bit. I was toying with the idea of trying flatwounds or just new quality strings to see what differences that might make but, overall I can't really fault the instrument as I'm probably the biggest problem the bass itself has.As a side note - my bass didn't come with any adjustment tools. I had a set of metric allen keys so no big deal, but you might want to get a set of your own just in case this is normal for Ibanez.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great! Zero regrets purchase.
I frankly expected less, but it's very nice and well made. It is easy to play. The action comes set low. It is fun, looks nice, has a decent variety of tones too and you can dial it in. It's not luxury but its really good for the money and you won't regret having bought this model. I'm sure I can noodle on it for years. Don't forget a strap.
5.0 out of 5 stars Low and Slow
The neck is narrow enough for my hand and finger exercises. The pickups and sound is excellent. I love you Bolo and Ibenz. 💥👍🏽
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money.
I think this is a great Bass for the price, would be awesome if you're just getting into playing and want something decent. Ibanez is a reputable brand. For under $500 you can't beat it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and sounds amazing.
Bought this to replace my old Ibanez bass and love it! With the built in pre amp and pickup adjustments you can really hone in the tone you like. Onle recommendation is to remove the 9v battery when not using for a long time to prevent corrosion.
Versatile e abbastanza preciso
Veramente un buon basso considerando il prezzo
Super rapport qualité prix. Très agréable à jouer et sonne bien
Franchement très agréable à jouer et sonne bien. Bien finie globalement.
WOW Factor for Musical Journey
The media could not be loaded. IBANEZ artist NOMAD,FYI, I am a pro musician of 50 years standing,and play IBANEZ,reviewing 10 of the best available here on Bolo over the last 2 years...Bass is the foundation,and this instrument is a solid foundation for aspiring musicians and future bassists.You get a lot of bass guitar for your money in this classy rendition.The model is a trusted formula,4 string,with copious amounts of volume and tone control,and the addition of bass boost over the 180 in this model ..more deep sounds,even at lower volumes..nice! ...simple to play and tune,it is stylish and suits many bass techniques,including slap,with a full sound,and dare I say a sweet Rickenbacker sound for YES fans..strings are good quality,standard,an active instrument regardless of standard,this sounds gr8.. love the slim smooth neck...my only caviat would be to say ,a 3 quarter size model would be better for under15, because of range and comfort...for everyone else,a fantastic bass for introductory pricing,a solid BUY!

Regalato al figlio. Non sono un musicista, quindi non posso valutare la qualità del suono, e infatti non lo farò. Quello che posso dire è che la qualità estetica del prodotto è impressionante. Non si riesce a smettere di guardarlo, da quanto è bello! Se per voi l'estetica è una componente importante quanto la qualità del suono, tenete in seria considerazione questo strumento. Invece per la qualità della sua timbrica, vi invito a leggere le altre recensioni... :)
