Also got this bass as my first six-string and completely agree with you. There's something about it that's just fun to play.

[@SvenJohnson-c4m]

Hi Ben, I really appreciate your excellent, straightforward review of this new Ibanez. Super helpful, because like you, I’ve never owned a 6 string before, but thanks to your review I think I’ll dive in with this one. 😊 IMHO Ibanez delivers quality for the money better than any other bass maker out there (also own the SR 5000 oil and the SRF 505 Portamento.). Also aesthetically, what a gorgeous bass, rivaling bespoke builds in the $5000 range and upwards. Long Live the Ibanez Bass Workshop! Thanks again- Subscribed!

[@SvenJohnson-c4m]

PS. It’s about a week or so later, and I bought one. It is astoundingly good! Especially at this modest price point. Loving it SO much and having a blast playing 6 string. Thanks again for your review which really helped inform my buying decision. Best wishes from New York City.

That thing is beautiful, congratulations on the new bass. Sounds great too.

[@bensmuj]

Thanks, I love it!

[@popcorn1Lofi]

Thanks for the review. It helped a lot!

[@斑目武-d1y]

Good explain for me . Thank you so much.

I have never had any issues with the locking jack the dingwall uses the same locking jack as ibanez

[@eriktoland3259]

Looks great! I'm curious about whether or not there is any neck dive? I know it's a problem with some other 6 strings.

[@bensmuj]

Actually no! Can't say that is something I am experiencing

[@eriktoland3259]

@@bensmuj good to know! Thank you!

[@anzebrinec5397]

Can i ask how did you make it passive, as far as i checked its an active only bass, right?

[@bensmuj]

there's a notch when you turn each knob. As long as you stay under that threshold , it stays passive

[@nickthesic]

Great playing! Beautiful bass. How do you find the neck size? My Ibanez 6 string is way too wide for me to play quick and comfortably

[@bensmuj]

I would say my hands are relatively small, but I don't find it too difficult to play. I can't really compare it to anything else right now, since it's my first 6 string!

[@jonabravo2553]

SIRE V3 VS IBANEZ BTB745????

[@willybarber1]

How is the balance? Neck dive?

[@bensmuj]

@@willybarber1 suprisingly well balanced! Haven't had any problems with that at all

[@acidfunkk]

Beautiful bass, but looks extremely heavy, could you weight it? I would really aprecciate that.

[@bensmuj]

I'm currently traveling, so I don't have the bass with me. I'll be back in about 2 weeks

[@bensmuj]

6.5-7kg I would say

[@acidfunkk]

@@bensmuj Thanks for your answer, unfortunately that's way to heavy for my back.

[@AlexandarShmex]

​@@bensmujBrother, can you double check that, that seems insanely heavy. I doubt it's more than 5 kg.

[@BWenk-rr2tq]

Can i ask what you are playing through to get that sound

[@bensmuj]

Black Lion Audio Rev 2x2 😊

[@BWenk-rr2tq]

@@bensmuj do you still have it. I have a chance to pick one up and I would like to know your opinion if it is worth it. Thank you

[@bensmuj]

@@BWenk-rr2tq for me, that audio interface is worth it. I use it every day, and it works great! It's a bit on the more expensive side, but it has som very convenient functions that I enjoy

[@BWenk-rr2tq]

@bensmuj how about the ibanez did you keep it is it a good buy or should I look for a different 6 string. Sorry and thank you

[@bensmuj]

@@BWenk-rr2tq it's still my go-to bass. It is a bit niche with the singlecut. There is a chance that you might just as well be well off with a cheaper BTB 6 string. But it's definitely still a lot of bass for the money. If you can afford it, I'd say go for it.

[@nedjipsulejmanovski7127]

How heavy it's that bass ?

[@bensmuj]

around 6.5-7kg

[@nedjipsulejmanovski7127]

@@bensmuj that's heavy bass

[@ironnads7975]

He literally answered that to other people before you asked in the comments here ....

[@JACKSONLEWISOFCANADA]

Good demo, boy your drum track is kinda drowning the bass.

[@bensmuj]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@cryptosg7534]

the bass is just like you... a whale!

[@hackofalldaysmasterofnone]

Big words for a guy posting praise music.

[@bensmuj]

Hey, if bullying is your way of coping, then good for you, I guess. 🤷‍♂

[@hackofalldaysmasterofnone]

@@bensmuj calling someone a whale is in fact bullying is it not? No bulling here, I made a factual statement. “Big words for a guy posting praise music” which he does. So let me explain in case you missed the point = I would expect better from a religious person to be more kind and not make fun of others based on things such as appearance. One would think a person in that world would want to lift people up. So I called him out on it. We call that sticking up to bullies.

[@bensmuj]

@@hackofalldaysmasterofnone my reply was meant to him, too. 😅So I get you, brother.🙏

@@bensmuj I didn’t even realize you were the channel’s owner that commented till a couple seconds after I replied. Then I thought, man… I’m sound like a jackass I bet. Anyhoo! Dig your channel man. Good stuff.
