Is the tone between the two that similar despite the pickup difference?

I was thinking of swapping the pickups from the nordstrand to bartolini, which should get me there tone wise for the most part. The 5005 is £1200, which is double what I paid for the 1345b. Don’t think it’s going to sound and feel twice as good.

Has anyone owned both a premium and prestige Ibanez SR? I currently own an ibanez sr1345b, and wanted to ask whether there is much of a difference between the two in terms of how it feels to play as well as tone? I know that they use different pickups and slightly different woods. I came across a used sr5005 and trying to convince myself not to get it, as I recently got my premium Ibanez and been very happy with it so far. There’s always the temptation that something more expensive will feel/sound nicer.

Hey guys, I recently bought an Ibanez 1345b. It's the best instrument I have ever owned, however I'm having issues with intonating the E string. At the 12th fret, it is about 3-4 cents flat. I have come across several threads on talkbass and one here complaining about the same issue. Has anyone had any luck resolving the intonation issue? I'm using D'addario EXL165-5, which are the same strings that are shipped with the bass.

I had purchased an Ibanez sr1345b from James; highly recommend purchasing any instruments/equipment from him. Great communication and posted the bass quickly. The bass is great, and just as described 😀.

Thanks for the reply, I’ll have a look at that video review tonight. How come you went back to individual pedals? For me (hobbyist who goes to jam nights couple of times a month), having a single pedal would really simplify things and save space at home.

Hello, I’m thinking of getting the Darkglass alpha omega photon as an all in one solution. I was wondering how easy is it to dial in a clean tone? How does it sound clean? I would be playing without distortion most of the time, so wondering whether there is even any point of buying one.

Hi everyone, I’m thinking of getting the Darkglass element, and wanted to ask whether it is worth the price tag? im currently using a focusrite scarlet solo with reaper for practice. But I find getting my laptop out and setting everything up such a hassle sometimes. So was thinking of getting the Darkglass element to be my practise rig. I came across cheaper alternatives, like the NUX mighty pro. I can get this for £100, meanwhile the element is £220.

Hello, I bought a Cort b5 plus couple of days ago, and I love it. One problem though is that there is static once treble is boosted 100%. Once I turn down to about 90%, the static is gone. Is this a pot issue?
