Folkesy Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) Hi All, Just picked up a new to me bass. An Ibanez SRX700. It’s a neck thru beast and it’s very nice to play. Can’t seem to find much information on these basses but it’s a great weight and has a lovely tonal pallete and looks amazing. Really pleased with it? If anyone knows more about these, please share 🙏 Edited May 22 by Folkesy 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo2 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I had one in the honey sunburst finish, really liked it, stupidly sold it : ( there’s this webpage, not sure what other info you’d like to know about it..? https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/SRX700 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Always liked the look of the SRXes. Think they were intended to be a more metal-oriented take on the SoundGear series - never played one but they look a bit less svelte than the standard light & skinny SRs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems an incredible versatile bass and sounds great plugged in. The build quality is top and I think it looks fab. Really great bass for the £300 spent.

jezzaboy Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Had one a few years back, weighed as much as a small house! Was that the one from Richtone? It looked in very good nick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked in very good nick. Yes, that’s the badger, it’s in great condition. Just weighed this one and it’s 3.8kg so not too bad. I read that some of them are very weighty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I think Carol Kaye favoured one more recently? Very good basses and a bit undervalued. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I had one. Was my gigging mainstay for 3 years or so. Never did like the tone that much. I believe I read somewhere that the pickups are in series (presumably each pair of coils) and I think that was the reason. I do regret selling it a bit. Maybe all it needed was rewiring to parallel or a pickup change to something that's parallel (assuming the series piece to be true) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
