alembic1989 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 today I wen to Denmark St and tried the new Ibanez Portamento 5 string. I've been wanting one..tbh I was hoping that it would be crap...to eliminate the GAS. It was in fact gorgeous..it felt right...no set up necessary. None of my basses have flats...this one did, and it sounded excellent. So ...it looks like I'm gonna be £600- odd poorer in a few weeks. Gutted.

White Cloud Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I share your sentiments....I have been fighting the urge to purchase the 5 string version. It looks like the perfect sub £1000 fretless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras52 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I just did the same thing - popped into Wunjo's at lunchtime and have since been gassing over it. Something's gonna have to make room for one of these, I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only reservation is how well the finish will stand up. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
