Used the new ibanez jet king for gig last night

[gub]

And i must say i was really impressed with the different tone options ,it went from a laid back muted style for ticket to ride right through to coping great with something like under the bridge and nice in between tones for cream numbers . very pleased with it

It has a great retro look too.

Beauty! Ibanez basses are really well made in my experience, I didn't even know this one had been released until this thread. Reminds me a little of the styling of an Italia bass, the Maranello I think it is? Retro as fook!

Gub, any chance of hearing it played? Assume it's three single-coils?

[Blademan_98]

Looks really cool

I too would like to hear a sound clip

[grayn]

3 pickups, cool.

Really has a 60s look.

The body looks small, does it neck dive?

[gub]

cant do any sound clips myself but here is a link to a page that does some , go to bottom of the page ,its the 200 you will here there .
no neckdive with mine at all , and body is not to small to look silly ,i am not a particuly small person and seems to look fine on me .

Ah, yes! A very good link. I like the sound of that gub, though I think I'd be all about the neck pick-up

I wasn't thinking it looked silly at all, it's a very cool looking bass. Just sometimes, smaller bodied basses can be unbalanced. Glad your isn't.

Arr see what you mean ,makes sense but no dive ,i think it may be due to having a solid mahogany body which makes it a little heavy i suppose for the size but still feels alot lighter than many i have played and was able to throw it round a fair bit the other night due to my nylon webbing strap ,if i tried to do that with the aria and leather strap it would take the skin off my shoulder!
