Baloney Balderdash Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) I know I already spammed pictures of it in the thread I made when I ordered it and the Ibanez owner club thread, but pretty thrilled about finally owning my first 6 string bass, and I am actually slowly getting used to play it too. I tuned it in D standard though (as in 3 half steps above regular 6 string bass B standard tuning or 2 half steps bellow regular 4 string bass E standard tuning), using D'Addario XL bass strings gauge .105 - .080 - .060 - .045 - .032 and the .024 string from a D'Addario's Fender Bass VI string set, which makes the tension of the individual strings pretty similar to that of the strings of a D'Addario 4 string bass gauge .095 to .040 string set. An Ibanez SR306EB in Weathred Black finish, 34" scale, 54mm nut, 16,5mm string spacing, Naytoh body, 5 piece Maple/Walnut neck, 24 medium frets, Jatoba fretboard, onboard preamp with 3 band active EQ : Edited January 4, 2021 by Baloney Balderdash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) My main Ibanez Mikro Bass, after I successfully transplanted it's GSRM20 Mikro Bass neck onto a GSRM20B Mikeo Bass body in Weathered Black finish, also relocated the output jack socket from the stock side mounted barrel type one to a front mounted regular jack socket, and currently having an EMG Geezer Butler P pickup installed, wired directly to the output jack socket, and not a DiMarzio Model P as on this picture : Edited April 4, 2021 by Baloney Balderdash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020Jazz Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I am wanting a black block maple neck to replace the pearl block, haven't found a Jazz version yet. Fender sells a Precision version, but no... On the fence about a black Hipshot hi mass bridge, or maybe a black ashtray. I'm unsure it would even fit considering how far back the bridge is mounted, though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I'm pretty sure those rear covers don't go over a badass; the bridge goes back too far on the body I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carried my guitar down to Guitar Center and the little college silly billy wouldn't pull one out of the bag to see if it would fit. I would say I'll never shop there again, but...I've never bought anything from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This look, with a black stack pot control plate, would be the bee's knees in my lowly opinion. Aha, the words 'nail' and 'head' come to mind, sir! In fact, I've always liked 'stealth' style basses so thought I might one day do exactly that with this one - black control plate, black bridge. Only thing would then be the neck/fretboard and headstock. The bass was originally fretted but years ago I had it converted to fretless with some high grade Indian Rosewood which I wouldn't want to lose. However, I guess I could try and source another neck with an ebony board and black headstock (or maybe a Status graphite neck?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
