| Awesome Period |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| Very well made, would gig with it solo, but I still love my old SR800 so it'll be rolling out to shows with me too. This is my new go-to bass though. |
| Features |
| What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? |
| Neck through, Active EMG's with 3 band and a high mass bridge... what more could you want aside from flush mount strap locks and a locking input jack (already done), only minor gripe was the plastic knobs. I have 5 other Ibanez's and they all have metal, even the concentric pot 3 bands I have. I think these are OEM EMG knobs. |
| Sound |
| How is its Tone? |
| Beefy, has more clarity than my other Ibanez's (all with the AFR P/J's and 3 bands, but doesn't seem to get as dirty like I like it. I'll get it dialed in though. One note- it seems to work much better with my AKG 4000 wireless than my other SR's- better dymaics. |
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| Perfect. The SRT neck is a bit chunkier than a standard SR neck, but that's a good thing. |
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| Bright, Mellow, Piano Tones, Slappy just about whatever you want. Hard to dial in a good growl, but my RBI preamp takes care of that nicely. |
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| Factory finish was flaw-free, fret dressing was very good for off the shelf. Had a minor crack in the finish on the top of the body from handling I suppose. The minor crack is the only reason for 4 stars. I don't believe it was "as produced" but it was how the bass was received. |
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Action out of the box was quite good. Not as good as it could be, but quite good. Intonation was spot on. My guitar players play in drop C so I tune C, F, A#, D# to keep the standard 5ths. Action held up nicely even with stock strings tuned that low. That lasted a day before I swapped to a set of DR Black Beuties with a .125 low B tuned to my standard tuning, took a bit of bridge filing to fit the B (C) string in and of course some filing of th nut and a couple cranks of the truss rod. Dialed in VERY nice with minimal work. |

I really like the EMG's and the on board EQ. You can really get a wide range of tones. |

Tone is phenomenal. Love the EMG's. I have an SR305 and I was trying to figure out how to put EMG's in it. Well. Is you guys make one so I don have to! |

Again. It's an Ibanez. The neck is fast, the contoured body is very comfortable. Controls are easy to get to and for the most part are smooth. The mid sweep pot was a little scratchy right out of the box, which was a little lame, but overall no other complaints. |
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| Pickups are hot. It has a lot of potential for different tone. I like a bassy grisly kind of dirty tone, but I was able to dial in a nice punchy tone for slapping if I need it. Onboard EQ allows for all types of tones. |

It's an Ibanez. Enough said. They always have the best action. Nice and low with a fast neck. |
