fiatcoupe432 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Hi all, After a long search for a "cheap" 6 string bass I came across the ibanez sr756 and decided to go for it I have paid £525 for the bass as its literally new! The previous owner is a composer and a guitar player but purchased the bass to see how he would get on, played once and put it back in the case just took the plastic cover off the control cavity cover and battery compartment battery expired 2017 still work and everything is immaculate First impression? I'm very impressed I was going to buy the 1206 premium but I know don't regret it and certainly saved me some dosh.the bass is very well constructed with some nice woods and very flexible soundwise Love the pj configuration on a 6 string. everyone knows ibanez necks,.... The flat neck it's very comfortable and 16.5 mm string spacing means articulate and fast playing its effortless inly minus is the strange position of the cavity cover which is kind of angled and looked like they took Ed mushrooms before operating the cnc and also the battery compartment is the center of the bass, again strange pisition For the rest I'm an happy chap here couple of 0hotos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatcoupe432 Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Forgot to add that I know finally realised that you don't need to spend a crazy amount of money for a bass this cost me 525 and to be honest is better then 70 % of the basses I have owned only my old 6 Roscoe and the yammy trb6p and my adamovic were better then this the rest I wouldn't have paid more money if I had a chance to try and compare it to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealting Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) I think the battery compartment is in the middle of Soundgears because the edges are tapered and the neck is the thickest part of the body. I do love the way they look, I just wish their necks were thicker, my poor hand cramps on one after a couple of minutes 😕 Edited May 7, 2020 by therealting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
