I own a Ibanez 5 string with the same pickups and controls- I think it's a 750 or something very similar to this. I bought it because I am a guitarist (first) and needed to play bass for a band and needed something a little more familiar - feeling too clumsy and restrained on a typical fender p bass. Also your accent rocks just keep talking and saying useful stuff. I don't think it's easy to slap on this bass than a p bass but if your technique is good of course you can do that too! It also has a balance to it sitting on your shoulder- my p bass always felt too heavy at the headstock - this one sits balanced and not too heavy.
Well reviewed...I have this bass in the blue burst..the neck is a 5 piece Jotoba & Walnut with Rosewood fretboard,Abalone inlays... great bass's even when played passively & still have a pan pot, volume & passive tone control...the Nordstrand pickups are really good & no noise with a quiet pre-amp...i play it active or passive depending on if i have remembered to take a fresh battery...duh! sounds really good with a pick for Rock, Punk etc a very versatile bass, well made with great pickups, it is a good bass for recording
Tell me, is this tool lightweight? Is it comfortable for you to play it with your left hand: is it a comfortable neck? Is there a difference in sound volume when switching from active to passive mode? And I’m also concerned: how to care for the body and neck - after all, the surface is not protected by varnish? I would be grateful for your answers to questions and instructions on how to care for the instrument!!!
@@kotanel .....they are pretty light bass's, 8lb - 9lb, very comfortable to play with a slim countoured body & a beautiful 5 piece slim neck..Jazz width nut, 38.1mm....it can go louder in active mode but the pickups are good quality Nordstrand passive pickups with 3 band eq, 3 position mid, pan pot & volume in active mode....passively it sounds good, should be loud enough live played passively...i wipe the neck & body with a warm moist new clean cotton cloth after playing & dry with a cotton towel....
I totally agree with you this basses are amazing especially for the price I can se myself using it in a live set up and even in my every day studio work like right now 👌 Did you bought this exact model?
@@mickavoidant4780 The tone is on point man even if i am not a fan of punk rock. Man shake yourself a bit on stage it will improve your tone by 1000% you got the tone right for singing this stuff !!! it was the first time after all the covid crap that happended?
Super cool vid. Your slap bass technique is incredible. I just picked up the sgr 600e 4 string and a luthier got ahold of it and did an amazing job. I like to tune super low. And its fretting out on the first fret. dumb question but i should be able to cure that from the the bridge without sacrificing ibanez legendary fretboard action. Correct?
Nice review... Very beautiful bass.. it's in my bucket list. Currently i have the ibanez GSR 5 string. Those budget basses. Also, you speak good fluent English and it was quite engaging to hear you play and review. 👍🏻
Hi Gianluca, I'm really thinking of buying the Ibanez SR600E. So thank you so much for the review! What are the main reasons for you to buy it? There are so many other manufactures such as Fender, Yamaha etc. Is it just the design or are there any other reasons? Thanks and have a great day. Greetings from germany Alex
Thanks man ! I bought it just because at the time I needed a bass for the studio where I need all sorts of sounds. Unfortunately I love the sounds of a JBass or a P bass but they doesn't fit in my hands so I ended up buying this because it was really comfortable and versatile . But funny enough I never use it on my official releases ahah
Man I have the hands of 8year old boy ahahah don't worry ahaha or maybe you are a beginner 'cause after 16 year of playing my left hand got able to do wider stretches and got a little bit bigger than my right one
Great review, I'm looking at buying this bass and this was helpful. I love the little bit of rumble it has, especially with the pick - I think it's called growl or snarl but I'm not sure lol. Are you running this through a simulated amp or FX or anything or just recording it straight? Sorry if that question doesn't make sense, I'm new to bass. Just trying to figure out if that growl is from the bass or the way it's processed. Thanks!
Thanks man no problem !! For the specifications demo I'm going straight into the interface and then for the tones examples I'm running it trough my Headrush FX pedalboard and I'm using some ampeg simulation and all sorts of pedals and FX. Good choice btw And lastly I will suggest you to use it as clean as possible if you are a beginner and then with a pedalboard or some plugin try to find your sounds!
@@GianlucaPavanMusician hey I really appreciate that, I can't think of any specific questions right now but I am open to absorbing any information I can at this point. If you feel inspired to make a video on tone/sound that would be great but don't do it just for me haha. I subscribed so I will be watching your vids anyways. Thanks!
@@Spergen to be honest I make this video to force myself into experimenting more in sounds and music boundaries!!Thanks for the sub it will be worth it !!
You know what's the difference between this model and the SR1300SB? Sure they have different woods but the electronics are the same so I don't get how they have a 500€ price difference
Thank you, amazing playing! I have a question, the SR600 NTF has no active/passive switch, but the pickups are passive, does this mean it's only passive and the battery might be a problem, or would you be able to play it even passively when the battery dies ? Thank you
@@GianlucaPavanMusician oh cool!! then I'm buying that stuff 😂 I've got sr655, and looking for a 4-string bass for drop c tuning, the decisions is made now!
Bel bassetto, rappresenta la fascia top degli SR Standard ed è davvero ben fatto in relazione a quanto costa! Personalmente, da soddisfatto possessore del genitore Prestige SR5000OL, consiglio sempre gli Ibanez, che in ogni fascia di prezzo hanno sempre il loro perché!
@@GianlucaPavanMusician Credi che io ho sempre adorato la tastiera in acero con i blocks in madreperla, peccato che ogni strumento provato con quella caratteristica non rientrasse nei miei gusti a livello di suono, quindi dovrò rimandare questo sogno a quando e se mi farò fare un basso custom 😂
hearing you speak english isn't annoying at all man! it's an amazing effort unlike some lazy americans! great review! I actually have my eye on one of these.... so this helps!
