NBD: Ibanez ANB306 Adam Nitti Signature. Be warned... serious bass porno lies within!

So this cheeky beast has just arrived from Belgium courtesy of a certain @Hellzero... 

It is quite an exceptional bass, more so than I was expecting to be honest (and I've not even plugged it in yet!)

The build quality is absolutely fantastic. The highly figured, very 3D, top is a 1 inch thick slab of quilt maple with a purpleheart core layer and an Ash rear, also beautifully figured. The purpleheart fretboard and truss cover and superb and feel great under finger. The fretwork is immaculate, the fret end has been rounded off perfectly. The gloss body has an angled transition to a perfectly smooth satin neck and the treble access allows you to hit every fret seamlessly. 

The Bartolini pups are supported by an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp (a change from the stock passive Bartolini preamp) and the hipshot bridge and gotoh tuners take command at either end of this fine beast. 

This really looks like a true contender for some of the VERY best basses I have owned, and I have owned a lot!!!

Congrats! Eventhough I'm a diehard Spector player I have a special place in my heart for Ibanez SR six string basses (and own two Prestige SRs, too) and that is the platform upon which the ANB was built. I have contemplated getting one when they released it but the 18mm spacing put me off (prefer the 16.5mm of the Prestiges' )

I do love a Spector, I've owned several EURO 6XLs over the years, a US NS6XL and an NS5XL, all fabulous basses! This Ibanez compares very closely indeed in terms of build with those Spectors, the thick slab top with the spacer and Ash back are a similar style. 

Very pleasantly surprised by this bass... I knew it would be good, but it has surpassed my expectations and I tend to expect a lot!
