I mean, I'd swap out the gold hardware for black, but that's no big deal. Hopefully they bring out some more along those lines at some point!

horrorshowbass Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 The 300 series are great too. I had the old 600 and it was the best. Had a SR2400 and it was amazing with the Aguilar pickups, unfortunately had to sell when my cars brakes decided to stop working SR2400 in action https://youtu.be/SaRugZfVGvo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm in broad agreement, but with an extra string! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they bring out some more along those lines at some point! I wouldn't, that was one of the main selling points, it was a prettier version of my SR1605 (which also has gold). Turned out in the end it wasn't sufficiently different from my 1605 to hang on to, and with the nice finish came a fear of damaging it (the 1605 is soft wood that has many scars that don't show).

matbard Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 regarding the EHB1005F-AOB, make it 4 string and I'll buy it in a rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Found this today. Not the best demo but didn't sound too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's OK, but doesn't sound very "fretless" - no noticeable mwah or growl. It was the same with Ibanez's SRF7xx range. I'm very glad a mainstream manufacturer like Ibanez make and sell a wide range of basses and are not afraid to try new things, it's just a shame they always seem to be "unfinished".

Yeah, I totally agree, I didn't really sing like a fretless should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Lobster has one of the fretless EHBs, sounds great and doesn't need a pickup swap IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
