Members LarryNJ Posted October 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 25, 2009 Some players like to change their "arsenal" around; selling, trading, etc. Cool. I personally don't. I can honestly say than other that some POS STEALING a 70's P-Bass from my car- (nice one, too!)... I don't turn any of mine. Each one gets played; each one has it's own voice.Don't wanna sell.

Members LarryNJ Posted October 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 25, 2009 I unloaded a {censored} ton in the last week . I can't even begin to THINK about selling any of my axes.... I mean, which one(s)? And How? and WHY?? The Gretsch?? NO!! Never (neither the ThunderJet OR SpectraSonic!!) MY '69 P-Bass?? Please. MAYBE the Hofner Cavern pup -spaced CLUB; the string-spacing is... NAaaa it thumps too kewl.... Oh yeh, I know, the MOSRITE- Ranger! Some douches didn't like that ONE! Oh but wait ...I do, I played it today, and seeing as I know how to lay into it and eq it, it sounded awesome, and is a superior build, so can't very well get rid of that... Hmmm-Howzabout (one of) the Rickenbacker(s)...No way Jose.. Nope. I can't do it. I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LarryNJ Posted October 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 25, 2009 yeah start with that one ^ , for me it's what gets played and what doesn't . All of mine get played, fortunately I get that opportunity to have fun & rotate 'em in performance. Re: "that one"... From Ed Roman (1 of 2 Mosrite Dealers in the U.S.)... "The Mark 1 Bass Guitars are extremely rare and hard to find. I have received a total of 13 pieces over the past 6 years. I hope to have something in stock at all times." Well, he's got (1) now, a black one; I bought the SB. The other dealer, in Bakersfield could order a Fillmore Ranger Mk 1 1965 Mosrite Ventures Model fromJapan; it would take 3-6 months. It's not the scarcity that makes me dig that particular bass, it's the sound... P-Bass +. It will never be for sale, nuthin' will. I play them all; wouldn't have a bass that doesn't get played. Seems there is some Ibby love & respect- kewl. They deserve it. Much bang for the buck thoughout the line and that upper end Prestige... Hey- guess what- Made in Japan. Like my Fender-owned Gretsches, and my Fillmore Mosrite.... And the Japanese Terada factories for Gretsch, and the Fillmore factory for Mosrite Ranger etc. and the Ibanez J-Team plant for the Prestige series... Their work is superb. A comparable Luthier-ordered/built bass with the same woods, electronics and spec as the SR4000E would probably cost about 2X as much. BTW-check out the 30th Anniversary Ibanez Musician model; 15 units made, about 10 Large, I think. If I had it; I'd PLAY it; would NOT sell it!:poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LarryNJ Posted October 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 This is the main reason for offloading it. It doesn't get enough face time. I've really zeroed in on what I want and need both in playability and tone and it just doesn't fit the bill. I'm actually selling it to finance parts for a far more suitable bass. I totally get that. If the instrument doesn't talk back when you're "speaking" to it- then.... Of all my instruments, only (1) has an "issue" the Hofner Club Bass with Cavern pup spacing- I don't care for the narrow string spacing, but the bass is so kewl, and sounds so good, that I gotta make adjustments, which I can do! On topic of "IB"- THe Prestige SD4000E SDR (stained Red) that I JUST received from AMS is an OUTSTANDING piece of work- Everything about it is first-rate.beautiful carve on the bod, the Neck!!! Wow.Super eq, love the "Power Curve" format, came straight from Japan, set up like a dream, and the mono-rail bridge concept- delightful! These are great basses and a true bang-for-buck monster. Sonically as well. Lovin' it. So much so I went ahead and have coming the (sorta) new PROMETHIAN head they've offered. I am now an Official IBANEZ flag-waver.

Members Renfield Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 I totally get that. If the instrument doesn't talk back when you're "speaking" to it- then. That's it to a nail. I am now an Official IBANEZ flag-waver. Welcome to the club. I've been a proud flag waver most of my career. I dare say I've always owned at least 2 Ibby's at all times. A claim no other brand can make. What's the bass you got? Pics and a link to the official page would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LarryNJ Posted October 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 http://www.ibanez.com/BassGuitars/model-SR4000E That's mine. haven't taken any personal pics yet; busy with my Dad a bit. These are truly great basses- I've got some good ones to compare them too as well! Looking at the catalogue, the entire line-up has a lot of value and quality, from the high $$ Gary Willis (sweet) to the budget models- some great stuff there. The SR4000E arrived so immaculate, fresh from, Japan, even the CASE is a notch above, nice touches like a graph-tech "black tusq" nut, etc. And the neck- 5-piece- Not to be believed. They (Ibanez) have got IT going ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 http://www.ibanez.com/BassGuitars/model-SR4000EAnd the neck- 5-piece- Not to be believed. It looks very similar in design to my friends SR1500PD that I mentioned above. The neck woods are identical, the headstocks are the same, at a glance they look identical save for the pups. I had to read the specs to know the body wood (Mahogany), his is Padauk, which is uber expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LarryNJ Posted October 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 Being new to Ibanez, and checking their history (real interesting too)I see a connection between the bass product lines; past and present, as to features, woods, varying electronics and so on. Seems you can get a NICE bass, a pro-level bass for not a lot of money, and with the exception of the Willis, no model is REAL high-dollar (by standards such as Lakland, Roscoe, et al...) I thought and still do that G&L was an amazing quality bargain, so is IBBY, to the max. A bassist who needs to watch their dollars and cents could do a hell of a lot worse than look into one of the mid-range Ibanez models. I'll say straight up I paid $1500 shipped for the beautiful SR4000E with a great case, and man- for what it is and what it does... Well well well worth it.I am impressed.With the whoile line.

Nice. My buddies was the same price in 1992, but keep in mind that it was a little higher end in the woods. His neck has 7 stripes IIRC and EMG's as well.
