Skybone Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 [quote name='ARGH' post='460694' date='Apr 12 2009, 06:48 PM']The Destroyer the Tom Angelripper played.[/quote] +1 The bass player from the Bay Area thrashers Possessed used one as well. TBH, I'm an Iceman fan, so an ideal for me would have to be something like the ICB300 or the early 90's ICB500... but only if it's passive. Blame Celtic Frost for the Iceman thing...

BottomEndian Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 [quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='461430' date='Apr 13 2009, 07:24 PM']Never been a big fan of Ibanez, but I do like the look of the BTB770PB.[/quote] I've got the BTB775PB (same, but 5-string). Gorgeous to behold. Kind of like a stag beetle mated with a tree: It's a big bass, and it's pretty heavy, but you can feel [i]everything[/i] resonating through your very being. The 18V active circuit is awesome -- the EQ's really powerful, so you can get pretty much any sound you want out of it, and it's got the highest output I've ever experienced from a bass. You have to be prepared for the 35" scale, though. It's a bigger adjustment than I thought it'd be. Especially if I've spent an afternoon fiddling on the Ashbory!

Prosebass Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 A 5902 from 1964. Why ? my first bass given to me by my brothers friend in 1976 . I stripped the body and french polished it and added a Gibson Grabber style style scratch plate. When the headstock snapped for the 3rd time I retired it and cannot remember what happened to it.

That would be quite lovely in a different colour, but the combination of purple finish, gold hardware and white binding really sets my teeth on edge. :wacko: Each to their own.

yorick Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 It wasn't particularly the colour combo, just the only picture of the model i could find quick.... I've seen one in an all black combo, now that is sweet!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balcro Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I'm late to this game so I don't know anything of the earlier stuff. I think I prefer the streamlined look of the current basses. It's got to be the SR4000E Prestige. Beautiful clean simplicity, mahogany body for deep lows, mono-rail bridge and finished in "stained red". Unfortunately they're about 1500 Euro's. Lesser GAS for the SR500. Very similar body, but I can't stand the dark brown mahogany colour even if it is £1000 cheaper than the 4000E. Now if it were in a reddish mahogany, hmmm? Don't like the gothic horn on the BTB series although the shape makes a good handle and consequently the top strap pin is in an almost perfect position. Balcro.

geilerbass Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 The SR4000E is a beautiful thing... ...but I'd have to go for the SR5000E. Must... have... more... Wenge...

Balcro Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) Thanks for that picture JPAC. I might just change my mind. Definitely more red than on the Ibanez web-site. Best of luck with your 500. Enjoy, Balcro. Edited May 15, 2009 by Balcro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
