my new ibanez LTD edition

[woolz]

hi guys just bought this lovely ibanez. i used to have a tanglewood which has lastest me 8 years!! fancied an upgrade though- i can honestly say its the best bass ive ever played. the wood is unbelievable. its got mono bridges as you can see and a dropD lever on the end of the E bridge.










its a limited ed 350made hand built ibanez.

Lovely bass-I had an SR500, which was a cracking bit of kit-neck was a bit narrow for my tastes, but it was a still a great bass.

i don't think i've ever seen a drop D tuner at the bridge before, aren't they usually on the machine heads?

thats a lovely looking bass by the way!

That sir is a very pretty bass.

I used to have one of [url="http://cachepe.zzounds.com/media/quality,85/brand,zzounds/p26586h-3544600f3a8d4bb957eb8f32cc0fbaf1.jpg"]these[/url] with a drop D tuner in the bridge, fantastic guitar should have never sold it.

Ibanez have been doing it for quite a while now. I remember having the 2001 catalogue with the AX series (I think that the name of them, the ones John 5 used to play) having the detuner at the bridge.

Nice bass too!

yes quite a few manufactors put it on the machineheads but ibanez dont seem to. its a lot quicker and takes 0. of a sec to flick it up with your right hand because your playing around that area. so you can drop to the D half way through a song vv quickly if you want to.

cheers for the comments

Superb. The Ibanez K5 I used to have punched well above its weight, awesome bass.

thats a purty bass and now i know what a d-tuner is as well

Aesthetically I think that just might be my perfect bass, never thought I'd say that about an ibanez, not generally a fan of gold hardware but it works on that, what's the sound like? bright/warm/clanky/growly?

[woolz]

to be honest mate, its soo versitle you can make it how you want it to sound. blues through to metal its capiable of it all. i set it so it gives me a thump in the low end but enough twag in the top end. you really can boost the bass or treble depending on what you want. i love it .

I've got the 5-string version of this - it really is quite awesome. Glad to see someone else on here with an SR20th!
