Bassmonster Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 anyone seen these yet, i normally overlook ibanez as they don't make many lefties, but these caught my eye [attachment=1766:SR655PBBLM.jpg] [attachment=1765:SR650PBAM.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 They're fantastic looking basses - can't wait to see one in the erm, grain ? Any idea on price ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmonster Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Not sure cannot find any UK listings for them, though they seem to be LTD editions, the US RRP price is $999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Ibanez have made some similar basses in japan, sort of custom shop jobs, which by all accounts are first rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burpster Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Ibanez kit should never be overlooked, or dissmissed out of hand........ These are no exception, Very pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowhand_mike Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 they look like a prestige version of the SR range, yes they already do a prestige SR but these ones have what looks like the Bartolini MK1 pups and active electrics same as is on the standard mahogany SR's, so these will sound great and i'm sure those exotic woods will just add too the sound, very nice indeed, i'll just have to pretend my SR is one of them.

Tait Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'm not sure i like them much, i prefer a simple bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey D Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I was goign to post about these. I think they are really nice and as I have been looking for a fretted version of my GWB35, this is as near as I think I can get! Would prefer the 5 in teh amber, but if my finances get sorted and I can sell my TRB6, I'll be getting the 5 and chucking a ramp on it. Nice. But isn't there only a few hundred being made and only for the US market? But with exchange rate as it is, thats not a bad bass for £650 as soon as you have imported it.

It seems to lack depth on the low end though. is this the £1800 version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
