"i love my ibanez!"
Feature:the bass came with a good duracell battery, i wish it came with straplocks because the strap buttons are kinda small and my leather strap tends to slip off during high action playing
Quality:
this is a gorgous bass especially if you love the look and feel of natural wood grain.this bass is very dependable also but remember its active if ya leave it plugged up it will suck the battery dry.and please take care of the bass mahogany is a soft wood that dents and scratches easy when not painted
Value:
this bass is well worth the money you wont find better period unless you can afford a warwick or a tobias
Desirability:
the rounded body edges of this bass and just the subtle nuances of the grain of the wood make it look like a bass that costs way more than it actually does
Sound:
this bass has a great sound the active electronics are wonderful and very articulate.I run this bass threw a 800 watt peavey bass head into a hartke vx410 and a peavey 115 and i can play any form of music i want because its so versatile.my band plays everything from slow pretty country to thumping thrash metal depending on the crowd and this bass has never failed me period, my only tip is keep the strings changed often because the active circuitry sucks the life out of them quick if you play more than 1 show a week
Ease of Use:
its not all that easy to change sounds live you'll just have to set at home and adjust and play till you find whats right for you
Overall:
i'll be satisfied with this bass for years to come but im always on the hunt for a used tobais basic or tobias signature, i chose this bass because its so close to a warwick corvette its crazy, i also feel this bass has improved my playing because i actually enjoy playing this bass.if this bass was stolen id deffinatley buy another just like it if i had the money, what i like most about this bass is the 5 peice neck and active electronics. what i like least is that the body wood is so soft but it makes for a great sound.

"Very Pleased."
Feature:Again,...very versitile. It can accomodate just about genre you throw at it.
Quality:
Solid build, good weight, and the accent materials are a nice compliment to the overall workmanship.
Value:
I did not base my decision on price, I based it entirely on sound. This bass has a smooth rich quality to the sound.
Desirability:
It's a very good looking bass. I wasn't excited by the glossy glam look of most lines, so this natural, warm woodgrain appealed to my stylistic side. I don't need to look flashy, I just want to jam well, and sound good in any capacity. This bass does that remarkably well.
Sound:
This Bass have a great variety of rich deep tones, no matter how you set the controls. Very versitile.
Ease of Use:
I basically learned on this bass. It's weighted well, it's good looking, and it fits me and my play style like almost no other bass I have used.
Support:
No interaction,... yet. Hopefully I won't need them.
Overall:
I had some great advice when purchasing this bass, so I had the luxury of an educated opinion.
