CaptainBlackarm16 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 So I just splurged £1006 on a brand new 2016 Ibanez SR1300. Travelled to Richtone Music in Sheffield yesterday in the hopes of finding something that took my fancy, friendly and helpful staff and a lovely selection of brands but as per the usual (not a fantastic amount of basses), also they had a pretty hefty pre-owned selection where I spied one of Doug Wilkes Basses made in the 80's I believe. I had a play on a few basses specifically the Ibanez stuff, loved one of the new single cut models (SRSC805NTF Cerro) with a beautiful purple heart fretboard. The attention to detail on the Ibanez stuff is fantastic....anyway long story short I have a soft spot for satin finished basses with a good old Wenge neck. So I played the SR1300 and the SR1800 (2015 model) and fell head over heels for the 1300. Of which I walked out the shop with! Absolutely blown away with the attention to detail on the Premium basses, really quality stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayn Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Looks a lovely bass. Are those Nordstrand Big Singles, on it? If so, I bet they sound awesome. Congratas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
