[/quote] Hi where did you find the artcore? i have been after one for ages, essentially an AGB140 with double cutaway and nicer finish, got to have one with a darkstar in it Edited November 4, 2008 by steve-norris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Arh location Austin,Texas why were these basses not inported? the AGB140 is an excellent bass, such good value for money but the ASB140 is MUCH better looking. One day i will import one/find one for the darkstar treatment. There is one on ebay at the moment but after shipping and tax it's a little expensive Edited November 4, 2008 by steve-norris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimolizard Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 [size=3] Hey there chaps, I'm after a new acoustic bass and I saw the Ibanez Exotic Wood series. [attachment=15660:IBANEZ_2...20Guitar.jpg] That's the fretless [attachment=15661:Ibanez.jpg] And that's the Normal one How nice are they? My question is, has anyone played one? For £250 for the fretted, I think it sounds like a done deal. Having trouble finding one in non cyber world to try.

Faithless Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 A friend of mine is thinking about getting a RB850... It's offered for about £210... It goes in Ebay for about the same price.

agoulding Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 (edited) [attachment=15731:DSC00181.JPG] these are mine, along with my yam trb. one closest is srx595, bought it when i was in a metal phase, still love it, great crunchy tone. Sometimes can get rex from pantera tone through it. and the other is a 7 year old srx300. I don't care what people say about all these flash basses people go on about, it may not sound as good (although it does sound rather decent) i havent played anything better (yet), its better than my other srx and yam trb (well just a little). i tried this bass and a cheap spector. i chose the srx. I think this bass was made for me. As stupid as it sounds. Edited November 9, 2008 by agoulding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hey, fellow Ibby-friends Gotta question for Prestige series owners or historians... I was looking a bit of info about my Ibanez SR1005EWN Prestige for my new website, and I've found this.. In [url="http://ibanezregister.com/Gallery/basses/sr/gal-sr1005ewn.htm"]Ibanez Register[/url] it's written that 2005 year 1005EWN Prestige model had Ebony fretboard.. In Ibanez.com I found that SR Prestiges have Rosewood fretboard.. So, did they stop doing them with Ebony fretboard, or there's somewhere a mistake.. ? Cheers, Faith.

flychris Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 In Ibanez register there's a mistake I think... (or Ebony for fretless ? ) (But I have the chane to have a pao ferro one on my custom shop ... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Cheers, I was also doubting about Ebony... It does seem [i]expensive[/i] wood too, ye? Got a deep look into my SR Prestige, looks like it's Rosewood there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geilerbass Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I don't think Ibanez ever used Ebony on it's SR range - it's always been Wenge or Rosewood (and maybe Maple). Though I think from this year's models, they've switched to Wenge alternative, since it's now an endangered wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussFM Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 My first ever bass was a SDGR 300FL, wish I'd never sold it. I'm very tempted by the SRX 08LTD, the black finish with red binding looks awesome, and at £229 would make a nice cheap backup bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agoulding Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 srx's have the comnpletely flat body whereas the sr's dont. the sr's tend to have better pups though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithless Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yup, I think that's the same model I've bought for my guitards brother, only 4-string version... I didn't play it for long, though, quite liked it. How could I annoy it, anyway.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
