Members baracuda2004 Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 This bass is absolutely gorgeous and plays beautifully. It also has a pretty nice growl to it. From the 3 Musicman basses i've played i'd definately say before you go shell out $1500 go try out one of these Ibby's.. God the neck is so fast. The string height in the "Bridge" pic looks super low and it is yet i haven't gotten any buzz even tuning down to drop-D(haven't tested all frets though just 1-14 on all 4 strings). I might do sound clips later if you guys want, or i might wait till i get me a nice little multi-track recorder and get my GK in there as well. Btw the pickguard is actually made of engraved metal(not plastic) which i really like. The bass is alot lighter then it looks as well, i haven't properly weighed it yet but it feels ALOT lighter then my T-40. The hardware on it is alot darker than the stock pics which is what I was hoping for anyways. for $469(new) I say Samash just got jacked by themselves. Rocked it non-stop for about an 1.5hr before posting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jugghaid Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 Those are really nice looking and nice playing basses. Especially for that price. I really like the Koa 700 series one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the Koa 700 series one as well. Oh yeah i was looking at that one for $750 but when i saw this one for $469(so i can get multi-track as well) i went this direction. Want a Koa one day too though for that added J-pup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome back to the low end. 4 months is nothing compared to most. You got out unscathed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gruntollio Bass Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 Congrats mate & Welcome to the ATK club!!!! Those were my thoughts exactly about these basses. Their about one third the price of a stingray but certainly much closer in tone and quality. Love the etched pickguard and bridge-plate on yours too!! I've not seen any like that before. Very cool!
