    I think these are some of the best production basses ever. I had a sixer a few years back and it was wonderful albeit the nech was quite substantial for me, both in width and thickness so I sold it in the end, much to my regret. 

    Congratulations @nilorius!

    Anyway, i feel much confortable with this 5 neck than with my Fender Jaco 4 string neck, but it's always different for anyone on earth.

    Just perusing the Ibanez site as I still have a hankering for a bass with the Powerspan pickups after trying one a while back. I fully appreciate Ibanez do things differently, but this is just.....eeeesh.

     

    Anyone a fan of this finish? Mars Gold Metallic Burst

    Ha! This made me chuckle I too was a no effect, pure tone guy when I first hooked up with my current singer. 

    She often reminds me...

    Leader vocalists just say - hey (drummer) John, put on me some regular reverb or delay on mixer and let's start rehearsing songs!

    I love my Longhorn, it's a 90's Korean one, in what is best described as Pinkburst. I wanted one ever since I saw Eric Drew Feldman play one in Beefheart's magic band in NY in 1980. Its sounded immense. Jack Bruce used one, and Entwistle, so that was enough for me. I've had it over 20 years now, and gig it quite a lot, it was my only bass for a Dutch tour a few years ago. It may look a bit woolworths, but it's been very roadworthy, and despite only having a soft bag for it, it remains unmarked. It's ridiculously low weight means it's going to be used more and more now I'm officially old and decrepit.

    Here's my Junior Jet, heavily sanded on the back to take about 1cm off the thickness so it now weighs about a feather, and I've finished the wood with a black water-based stain that gives it a plum colouring. Fitted with a TV Jones Thunderblade and a Schaller bridge, a coil-split switch and with my custom

    tort plates, it looks and sounds great. I use it as a back up, but really it should be a front line bass as it plays so well; occasionally I take pity on it and give it a front line gig.

     

    Wow....this is real great! 🤘

    Tell us if You have, let's say, a Fender player jazz bass - defretted and refinished. Did You ask Your luthier to do it, or bought allready modified, may be did it Yourself? Are You satisfied with the modification. Tell more about it and somes pics would be great, too ! Mine is - Fender Jaco tribute jazz bass - fretted and refinished to black. It was hard for me to play it fretless, but the instrument was so great, it sounded superb unplugged and i didn't have any fretted bass, so i asked my luthier to fret it and he did it perfectly. Another guy who was a specialist in refinishing, made it black. I love how it sounds and looks.

    I’ve just picked this up a couple of weeks ago. I’m now on the lookout for a 1980 fretted version in great condition if anyone wants to move one on.
