Mate, Ibanez could hire you for introducing their products, really... 🙂How you described the key aspects and features of the instruments, is flawless. (I missed only a bit more playing, in different styles - e.g. walking bass, some slap, using a pick, etc. - but otherwise, we could clearley hear how the electronics modify the sound of the instruments.)

The pickups are Nordstrums Big Breaks but are dual linear coils...like a P pickup but in 1 straight pickup cover, 2 linear coils under the pickup cover but not soapbar pickups...a cross between a Jazz & P pickup with a more modern tone...great pickups, i have them on my Ash bodied 5 piece neck Ibanez Sound Gear SR600E....good demo & details...

the coolest looking instrument of the new lineup

Fantastic review of this lovely looking & sounding bass guitar. Really appreciate it thank you.

Just ordered mine gets here Thursday can’t wait to play. Just got it and all I can say is I have finally found a bass worth the money. The feel is awesome and the tones and versatility is unbelievable.

How is the b string?

I ❤️ this bass !

[@beornthebear.8220]

I bought it and I like it. For newer hard rock songs I turn the bass up slightly, the treble down slightly, and leave the midrange alone, I also give the neck pickup a very slight edge. I also usually pick with my fingers just in front of the neck pickup. For older songs that are more thumpy, I turn the treble down pretty far, turn up the bass pretty far, and give a large edge to the neck pickup. I pluck nearer the neck, My old BTB bass was wearing on my fingers, but this is thin and fast and is much easier on my fingers, It also had sharper edges, which could make my arm uncomfortable. They both sound good. This is not a lightweight bass. Both gave easy to adjust bridges. Use an electrical tuner, and you can have the intonation on either adjusted in minutes. I usually prefer a thru-neck, but this is easier and faster for my hands. The BTB also had a 35" scale, whereas this has a 34" scale.

gat damn its gorgeous

Great review and great bass. Having a Birdseye Maple fretboard is a really cool thing at this price point. Best review I’ve seen I have to buy one thanks heaps 🎵🎼👍

[@DanielPerez-vt5ez]

When I get a maple neck bass, this will be the one! What a beauty!

[@stillbreathing9146]

Cool video Oli and a cool bass. Thank you 😎✌🏻

[@Erik1970Viking]

what an awesome Bass ... thank you for this great review :-)

[@iduncanw]

Nice review Oli 🤘 I've just started looking at this bass and it would pair very nicely with my PRS SE 24-08 in Eriza Verde.

[@Nico_Aslanidis]

looks amazing. Too bad we couldn't listen this as bass, only as guitar

[@Vahnchelsea]

While everyone cursing you for using pick, I would like to thank you for using pick since I am a pick user bassist due to I played metal. Will consider this bass since the tone from pick picking also quite heavy and deep.

How do you have this guitar already?

I love that bass!! But the green is hideous !!!! How about natural wood with clear gloss??

[@beornthebear.8220]

They make plenty of basses with natural wood colors. I don't know if they have them in a gloss.

[@hellizeo]

🤣

[@Bassproshop1]

I would’ve loved it completely if you didn’t use a pick… but good sound.

[@PM-oq6ku]

You're talking toooooo much

[@js4512]

Low gloss is just a half assed finish.... As a painter I will NEVER have a half finished guitar... Got nothing against the 806....just bought a brown burst before christmas, paid $1149.00 and got an outstanding finish.

[@bjbullock8958]

Low gloss is for speed.Helps prevent the thumb drag studder

[@Pktattooss]

@@bjbullock8958 It’s Also helps prevent your forearm from dragging against the body. And lets the wood shine through instead of covering up a lousy finish. Some people are just amateur players. And some of us are professionals that know what we want and need.

[@DanielPerez-vt5ez]

You can leave half ass out of it since it was purposely done in this finish. 🙄 But most likely, you are a good painter. Really don't like to see half assed painted cars with that orange peel look! 🤦🙋🙂
