Members Brian Krashpad Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 On clearance at Mu-Friend: http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-ATK300RSPBK-Bass-Guitar?sku=516147&src=3TP9C3A&ZYXSEM=0?=ElectricGuitar Ibanez ATK300RSPBK Bass Guitar Price: $299.99 MSRP: $839.99 I gotta say I like it. Traditional without being a direct Jazz or P copy. A bit reminiscent of Peavey's original bass designs like the T-40 and T-20/Fury I. Price is good too. If I played more bass I'd get one at this price. Body: Light ash body Frets: Medium frets Fingerboard: Rosewood Inlay: Pearl dot Bridge: ATK4 bridge Pickup: ATK triple coil pickup EQ: ATK 3-band equalizer with tone character switch Hardware color: Antique Chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kaiser_sosea Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 for some reason i think they are ugly as sin but at that price I'd rock itedit: after looking at the picture again i realize it's the giant bridge/pickup thing that doesn't do it for me aesthetically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian Krashpad Posted March 3, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 Where've YOU been?? I've been singing about this for weeks now. Sorry, I tend to think of myself more as a guitarist than bassist (though I have been the bassist in a few bands rather than guitarist, and have been playing bass since about '89), so I don't check in here as often as I should. If it helps-- you were right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members baracuda2004 Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 I would crawl on my knees through broken glass for 20 miles just to hear it fart through a walkie-talkie.

Members JeffBass Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 HAWT!! I'd say the black color matches better with the oversized metal bridge than any of the other colors, including my KOA top ATK. Get it if you like big BOLD sound! GET IT!!!

Members The BigF Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 It is rather nice...I have owned T-40's & T-20's in the past they were great basses, but folks, gee whiz, only FOUR strings. You'll never play in a country band with that axe!:poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluedogaudio Posted March 3, 2009 Members Share Posted March 3, 2009 I think it's ugly, and I partially think it's ugly because it looks cheap. I liked the one with the Koa top, minus the ugly etching, and two pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The BigF Posted March 4, 2009 Members Share Posted March 4, 2009 Bass guitarFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, searchBass Guitar A sunburst-colored Fender Precision Bass String instrument Other names electric bass guitar, electric bass, bass Classification String instrument (plucked or picked) Hornbostel-Sachs Classification 321.322(Composite chordophone) Inventor(s) Paul Tutmarc Developed 1930s Playing range (a standard tuned 4 string bass guitar) Related instruments Electric guitar Double Bass Acoustic bass guitar Musicians List of bass guitarists The electric bass guitar[1] (also called electric bass,[2][3][4] or simply bass; pronounced /?be?s/, as in "base") is a stringed instrument played primarily with the fingers or thumb (either by plucking, slapping, popping, tapping, or thumping), or by using a pick. The bass guitar is similar in appearance and construction to an electric guitar, but with a larger body, a longer neck and scale length, and usually four strings tuned to the same pitches as those of the double bass,[5] which also corresponds to one octave lower in pitch than the four lower strings of a guitar (E, A, D, and G).[6] The bass guitar is a transposing instrument, as it is notated in bass clef an octave higher than it sounds (as is the double bass) in order to avoid the excessive use of ledger lines. Like the electric guitar, the electric bass guitar is plugged into an amplifier and speaker for live performances. Since the 1950s, the electric bass guitar has largely replaced the double bass in popular music as the bass instrument in the rhythm section. While the types of basslines performed by the bass guitarist vary widely from one style of music to another, the bass guitarist fulfills a similar role in most types of music: anchoring the harmonic framework and laying down the beat. The bass guitar is used in many styles of music including rock, metal, pop, blues and jazz. It is used as a soloing instrument in jazz, fusion, Latin, funk, and in some rock and metal (mostly progressive rock and progressive metal) styles.

Members Brian Krashpad Posted March 4, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 4, 2009 Haha, kids we're not gonna do the whole 4/5 thing again are we? What next, pick/no pick? Why don't we all just agree that 7-string guitars are silly and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
