I recently purchased an EHB 1506 MS. I'm absolutely thrilled with it. I've had it a couple of months as I write this. I'm still discovering many of it's capabilities. A joy to play. I play a lot of Blues and old school R&B. So I tend to favor it in passive mode. I find that the Nordstrand pickups, being dual coil, can emulate the old Fender sounds very well.. Both the P and the Jazz. Although I don't use it in active often, it's nice to have it available for quick tone changes. This is such a well thought out instrument. I love it.
Sadly i have to say im dispointed soo many have qc issues on these ehb even min with 7 hairline cracks on the fretboard after 2 weeks. Then loose screws stripped screws and its just horrible how the qc is on them. Ibanez need to do better than that
Its funny I see a lot of bass players that like the bridge pick up. Well I dont like and I dont undertant. This is a bass. Need a huge dark tone like presicion
