Ever since my granddad purchased this bass for me I could not keep my hands off of it. There is no comparison between my washburn and my ibanez. I LOVE THIS BASS

This thing is incredible. I got it a few years ago from a friend of mine brand new. Rosewood fingerboard has a great feel to it, and the neck is the perfect thickness. The bridges are the easiest I've ever worked with.

The ONLY downside to owning this bass is the battery cover takes forever to get off. But you can buy a snap-type for cheap.

BUY THIS BASS!!

My Best Bass

I own this bass and all I can say is wow. I have been playing for over 4 years now and it plays in my opinion just as good as my 1,200 Fender American Standard Jazz bass(also a five string). My guitar teacher has the Fender I have and he also thinks my Ibanez feels just as great. Then when I told him how much the price was, he was blown away. With it running throught my Digitech BP200 and my Ampge 4X10 half stack it sounds like a gift from God. Buy this bass. You wont be dissapointed.
