Review Based On Previous Expectations

Let me say that this is not a terrible bass and is very functional. I would still recommend it. My review is based on my previous Ibanez purchase. I own the SRF705BBF 5-String Fretless bass and am VERY, VERY, VERY happy with it. This was my reference for this purchase. When I purchased the Ibanez SR505E, I was expecting and hoping that it would play and sound similar to the -705-,… read more minus the piezo bridge. In this configuration, it did not sound as good, or close enough to satisfy my needs. I was actually hoping for the SRF705BB platform, but with frets. Not even close. Ibanez was never smart enough to offer a fretted version. Positives: - Bridge appears to have a decent feature set that allows for full adjustability. - It can funk out with some similarities to a Jazz bass. - Fretwork was decent. No fret sprout. Differences: - Has a slim Jazz-style neck with 5-strings. - Body is not finished like the -705-. Kind of a Paint-stain. May be prone to chipping, exposing the plain wood underneath. - Tuners are not in-line, but could be. - Tone and feel are not terrible, but different. Over-all, I'd still recommend it for a sub-$1K bass. It just didn't meet my particular needs... Even though I'll keep it and still use it. "Your Results May Vary"

For 699 this bass blew me away. Although the Bartolinis aren't actual Bartolinis the tone is amazing. I have modified mine with the Darkglass Tone Capsule pre amp and with Aguilar pickups and it has destroyed all my previous basses.

I have a Fender Mexican Jazz bass, I've also played a 6-string ESP bass and a Yamaha TRBX304, and so far, this is the bess bass guitar out of them all.
