Doctor J Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) There's an Ibanez SR1010 going at a decent price over here which I'm just powerless to resist checking out. What with the mortgage and the bajillions of debt we're in over here, it's been a while since I've had this feeling, that sensation of maybe getting something new. I used to have a SR 6er which was pretty similar to the spec of this, it's going to have to be in failry crap shape for me to turn it down, I think. It's a great feeling.... the scent of blood, almost. So, G.A.S., we meet again... Edited October 31, 2010 by Doctor J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I know exactly how you're feeling J. I always talk myself into it by saying I can always sell it on and get (most) of my money back. And that's true, isn't it? Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Same here ! Got a little something on the way next week in trade for the Bacchus but keeping quiet for now, don't want to ruin the surprise ! Needless to say I am highly excited, its been a while since I've felt this way about a bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Heh heh, a 4 string high end SR has been on the list for almost 20 years, just never found the right one. This is possibly the last of their high-end reverse-P + J models, it's been all soapbar types since 98, so yeah, I'm probably a little more excited about this than I ought to be. It'll sit well beside that Streamer I got off you, Frank. I hope that Bacchus is going to a good home, I still have an emotional attachment there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Turns out it was in fact a SR1300PM, the top of the range Ibby from 93, Paduak sandwiching a mahogany core, 5 piece wenge/bubinga neck with wenge fretboard, AFR pickups and Ibanez pre with sweepable mid. There was no way I could say no. Spent today stripping it down and cleaning 16 years of smoke off and out of it and oiling the wood. It's all back together now, sounds superb, quite a lot like my Streamer actually, but with that neck. I'd forgotten how slim the necks are on these things, after the initial shock your hand just flies all over the place. It's such aneasy and graceful bass to play. There's a stigma about Ibanez basses for sure... and that's ok, because it means people like me can pick up top drawer basses for a song Yes, I am enjoying the catch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 The chase is good, so long as the catch isn't a let down (Fender Urge Standard...!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally the people that don't like them have very good reason not too. Personally I wouldn't turn down an Ibby because its an Ibby, however I wont go looking as I've never found one that I like the neck on or the sound of. I think they're actually quite a marmite bass tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
