Back to the shop today for another demo. I love this bass but the one in the shop had a little dent in the back of the neck that I'm fussy about. Gonna wait for another one to come in. Did play it for a bit longer today with the other half present & she loved it as well. We both really dig the piezo tone. I heard a few demos online but sounds way better in the flesh. Kick in the magnetic pickups & great fretless tone, really like the bridge honk. I'm now also appreciating flatwounds. I could have played it for hours which is always a good sign.

I maybe selling my Bass Collection fretless soon. I have a new fretless incoming so will move this on. It's quite lovely. Drop me a PM & I'll fire over some pics.

£619 Tried out the 4 string today, blown away. For the money it's really great. They are a little neck heavy but not by much & I'm fairly sure a strap would solve this. The bass is so light you could probably add a weight in the cavity as well. Great sustain & the piezo sounds lush. Will be great on my jazz / latin gigs. Adding the magnetic pickups gives a great fretless tone & found the treble to be better sounding than my other Ibanez basses. May get a luthier to smooth out the fretboard edges as they are a little sharp but may be ok. I really urge people to check these out. Ibanez are very hit & miss for me but this is a good one for sure. On hold for me while I sleep on it & get permission [size=4]Watch this space [/size]

Played a 5 string version today & it's a good one from Ibanez. I'm going back tomorrow to try a four string that's due to arrive. Maybe spending some £.
