Fair enough... but just have a listen to the J-tones on offer:

Worth having a go on one if they get one in?

I think Gregor has mentioned that he sold basses for a living so I think he knows his stuff. And, to be fair, they probably avoid reviewing something they don't like at all. I have seen them be critical of fit and features - recently getting a spec changed on a bass which they then re-reviewed.

I thought exactly the same but not quite as extreme in the offset. So maybe that rare instance of successful plastic surgery?

The BtW guys rave about the four and the five. Six review coming shortly. 'Best bass Ibanez has ever made' is quite the statement given they've probably made more models (and maybe actual basses) then anyone else!

No. I looked too. Seems like they've focused on the Mode series:

Crikey! You'll have Health & Safety on to you with those things. (They're in the Thomann's vid posted above too.)

I know I've posted most of the Internet in this thread now but here's a good one on the details and design philosophy of the the Mode - they're light! As well as other new basses from Ibanez. That white finish is gorgeous!

£1,145 on Thomann in case anyone is wondering... https://www.thomann.co.uk/ibanez_mdm1006_pw.htm

Sixer looks good in white!

I know and it looks great. Some J-sixers look kind of bloated. The ramp Nat is using in the vid is part of the deal too including with the sixer.

Looks interesting... not seen this shape before. Great sounds too - just get past the metal at the start...

Website is terrible and it doesn't look auspicious for bass given the GUITAR! (and bass) show promotion.

Awful miming. Great song though. Think the bass is Chris' though although I have a recollection that it was stolen.
