Best Beginners Bass Guitar. Period.

Advantages: Great Looking, Smooth Neck, Good Sound.
Disadvantages: No Active Pickups

...older style that the one Ibanez now advertise and sell, so mine doesnt have the Phat II EQ Bass Boost control that newer models now come eqipt with. The body is Agathis, which is not a great wood for guitar bodies, but ibanez use it well to get the best out of it. All basses/guitars in this price range use it, as it is the cheapest musical wood. This wood is a relative of true mahogany and gives nearly the same tonal characterists. Warm lows with ...
...this bass is very impressive. Ibanez are famous for thier hard rock stylings, and my bass is the jet black colour. It looks supersleek, and with a little cleaning it is possible to get the finish looknig as good as new, even after a year. All the hardware is silver, which looks more modern that gold, and it goes well with the instrument. There are a few slight problems I have had with mine, and I'll go through them here. My tonal control for the ...

Review of Ibanez GSR200 Electric Bass

The Ibanez GSR205 : Value for Money

Advantages: Solid workmanship, useable tones, very versatile.
Disadvantages: Shoddy electronics

...batteries. The bass sounds clear and clean either through an amp; or a direct box (mine's a Boss) straight into a mixer. I do hope that Ibanez can come up with a GSR205 that has just a Master Volume, Blend Control and Master Tone. That would make it just great. ...

Review of Ibanez GSR205 Electric Bass

Active Bass for Under £250!!

Advantages: Value for money, active electronics, easy to play
Disadvantages: only comes in 3 different colours

...rooms and gigged. Before the Ibanez I used a Fender Jazz bass. The jazz bass hasn't been touched since I got this bass. The Ibanez feels like a guitar compared to the jazz bass because of its weight and short length but still manages to have 24 frets (2 more than the jazz). The neck is very slim and the frets are low and fat making this an easy bass to play. This bass would suit someone who is small or has small hands. The cutaway gives plenty of ...
...with mother of pearl style inlays. The SR300DX sounds great for heavy rock or slap style playing due to its 2 channel "Phat Bass EQ" giving it a higher output than most basses of the same price range. There's plenty of room to adjust your sound from a fat dubby sounds to tight compressed sounds. I imagine you could use this for any style really. I can't really fault the bass apart from maybe the lack of colours it comes in but I didn't buy this ...

Review of Ibanez SR300DX Electric Bass

Ibanez ATK excellent value for money

Advantages: Tone and Price
Disadvantages: Bit Heavy

...is larger than the average Ibanez and a bit heavier, but to me a good heavy body is a plus for a bass, and with a through body stringing option this also adds to its excellent sustain. If anything is lacking then it may be at the very low end of the register but is you wanna slap sound at a reasonable price than I would definately recommend an ATK ...

Review of Ibanez ATK300 Electric Bass

Good value for money

Advantages: Good sounds, playability
Disadvantages: Basic appearance

This was the first bass guitar i ever owned and i think that it is a perfect place to start. It is great value for money and although it isn't really anything special, it is very reliable and sounds good. The build quality is good and i have not had any problems with this guitar. All of the hardware is is of high quality including the pickups which have a good range of sounds. The action was a little too high when i got it, but once i had lowered ...
