JensWest Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think it looks really great (with some reservation for the lower horn)! Hope I'll get the chance to try one out some day and then see what happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I don't know why, but I keep liking the look of single cuts recently, I've always disliked them in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheelvy Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I quite like it, though it's not really my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Think I'd be more inclined to want it if it was a five string... But, I admire them for giving it a go. I like the oddities they do each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 First UK pricing I've seen £769 which is very reasonable for a Bart-loaded 6. So it'll all be in the sound and playability... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosebass Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 It is really difficult to get the proportions right on a singlecut and then opinions are always subjective. I think this one has it about 'right' but then what would I know? [attachment=153811:Sonorous06.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyboy Rotten Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 [quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1390760692' post='2349170'] I admire Ibanez for putting this out there. In my opinion it isn't the prettiest single cut that I have seen - but beauty is in the the eye of the......... [/quote] ...bassist who doesn't get neck dive!

skej21 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Got my hands on one of these today. Really impressed for the price! I know that without pics etc, so here you go :-) apologies for poor quality, it's just uploaded from my phone!

Cameronj279 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 so far the only single cut designs I've liked have been Alpher instruments but there's something about that Ibanez I quite like. Not sure why though as I don't like the standard BTB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmayhem Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) I've played one, and it is really good. The fret work wasn't the best, but the tone and feel in the bass was nice. Frets can be properly done for a reasonable cost. Remember, this is a really cheap highend bass... Btw, single cut basses tend to be rather ugly, but Chris Benavente makes some good design: Edited July 9, 2014 by bassmayhem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMV Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I think it looks fantastic, but then I do like a single cut bass... Agree about proportions being a little odd - I do quite like the hippo/tongue thing this ibanez is doing though! I think the current range of Brubaker SC's have the proportions absolutely perfect.

The barts are as good as you'd expect but it's the finish and playability that is really awesome. Normally I don't get on with 6ers because of the fatness of the neck but it's really easy to adjust to this (maybe because the string spacing is right for me!). The feel of the neck is lovely and thin, just like most ibanez models, and the curves on the body make the bass feel wonderfully comfortable. For under £800, it's a steal. I'm fighting GAS now :-) Edited July 13, 2014 by skej21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
