It's a nice looking bass even without the strings. I placed it so its the first thing that catches the eye when you walk into my living room.
Its light and for a 6 string has a slim neck. The neon strings are fun but functional too. Only issue for me is that the body cuts into your after time time when yoo play on your lap. So I only played with the strap.
Nice to know others are having fun with it too.
Ibanez SR306EB 6 String Bass with different coloured DR Strings. Weathered black. Basic bass strap can be included (not the one in the picture). Recently had it set up at a guitar centre and lowered the action.
Neck type SR6 5pc Maple/Walnut neck
Nyatoh body. EQ w/3-way Power Tap switch.
Bought this Bass to practice with 6 strings and learn chords. It did the job well and sounds pretty good with both pickups on but questionable versatility of tones. I would like to keep it as looks great but I have been told I need to sell it as it's surplus to requirements as I recently bought a beautiful 5 string courtesy of Bassmanady.
The bass has a few dings. A couple of these where there from new but I never reported it. I have added a couple more through over excited bass layering.
Any questions let me know.
Thanks for this Baggyman. My thoughts on this are the same as you. I watched Andersons review on YouTube and thought the Z7 ticked a lot of boxes for me. I thought this natural roasted maple colour looked great too👍.
I would be interested in how you find the lower rests on the leg and whether or not you get a good tone out the box.
I will also look at the z3 as well as it maybe good enough for what I need it for (home playing and basic recording).
I just bought a bass from BassmanAdy which I am very happy about so need to fill the piggy bank. In the meantime I will be close watching the reviews.
Met Ady earlier on this week regarding him selling his Yamaha TRBX605FM. Really nice person, fantastic comms, easy to talk to, had it all ready and set up for me to test.
The bass was in great condition and works perfectly. Easily the best I have owned.
Thanks again Ady.
Hi LW,
Is this bass still available? I am looking to get a 5 string as well as get back into bass so I am just re-learning the fret board, chords and figuring out how to slap. I think I could put this bass to some good use.
