patrikmarky Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Popped into pmt Norwich today ..just for a browse and a new strap ..and walked out with this .a Mexican jazz caught my eye fitted with Nordys ..sounded great very poorly set up though ..the Ibanez caught my eye so I gave it a bash though not a great lover of Ibanez sdg's mainly the neck but thus was sublime fanned frets felt really good , really well crafted and has a great growl from the barts ..I'll gigged it tomorrow night so I'll add more ..... Just need to tell the strife she doesn't scare me though I'll probably have to sell something now . Edited October 19, 2015 by patrikmarky Quote

jassbass Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Very interested to see a review of these Quote
alyctes Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Looks sweet, though obviously not to everyone's taste. I also would be interested to read a review - not that I'm likely to afford one any decade soon... Quote
Woodinblack Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I would certainly like to give one of those a try. I had a dingwall, so know I can get on with the fanned frets, and have enough ibanez to know that they are my preferred basses, apart from a couple of little cosmetic issues I have with it, that should be the perfect bass for me!

patrikmarky Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Was an easy transition gigged it last night and what a great bass , such an easy bass to play ..great sound as you would expect ...great action and very comfortable to play ...not a light bass though .your probably on about the nut finishing which I can live with .....though I see the premier option has Nordys and they've sorted the finishing on nut but then it's twice the money ..

Bigwan Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) This particular model makes me wish I could get along with Ibanez Soundgear string spacing... Edited October 11, 2015 by Bigwan Quote

[/quote] I thought the same was never an Ibanez lover for the string spacing ....but wasn't a problem though I've had to adjust guitar strap length Quote
Woodinblack Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Yes the nut looks like an afterthought and I would prefer the nordys, they do sound good, and maybe a different finish, but for the price it is very good. I would certainly like to pick one up at one point, even though I am not looking for any basses at the moment (!) Quote
lowhand_mike Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 very nice bass, was on my shortlist when i was buying but the thought of going up to 5 strings and fanned frets blew my tiny little mind. Yeah the nordy are really really nice really like the grey finish too Quote
chaypup Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) I was looking at this and thought oo I wonder if they do a fretless version... D'oh! Edited October 13, 2015 by chaypup Quote
