Double Basses Instrument

At the time I purchased this bass it was on sale at the price of $199 for the Champagne Gold finish. Although I was not familiar with this specific model line of Ibanez basses, for the price it seemed worth a try. I had played other more expensive Ibanez basses and found them to be made with quality woods and parts. They played well too. When it arrived I was amazed at the quality of this bass. I had thought I might be getting less for the lower price. Even if it had been purchased at the full MSRP of the instrument, I would not have felt slighted. The build quality is excellent. After setting it up with a new set of DR strings it plays extremely well. The tuners and hardware are high quality. The tones I have been able to get out of it with the onboard active electronics alone is pretty staggering for a single instrument - without using any outboard effects. It seems like a bought 7 basses for the price of one. I've been playing it through a DI interface and Apple's Mainstage software for effects and the possibilities seem endless. Truly a surprise for such an inexpensive instrument. Well worth a try. Great for experienced players or beginners.

It's no wonder producers love this thing. It's awesome. If you want basses to really thump, get it. And it's clean as can be.

This is why JBL never disappoints when it comes to buying their products sound/basses always on point!

Super speaker, great basses, good looking, good price. I recommend.

Simple box. Does exactly what a good active di should do. I use it for all my passive basses.

Can’t beat this little instrument for the money!

Fine instrument, does what it should do and more. I recommend it.

Put it together in five minutes. Holds my basses and guitars nicely. Replaces 5 single stands.

It's a good quality instrument that I like so much

Very steady for this heavy instrument.
