    Ibanez AGB200 Artcore - What kind of strings?

    I see that a lot of people put flatwounds on these. I've a nylon (nylong covered?) string on mine (was on it when I bought it). I'm looking to use it largely for country/blue grass. I'd love to have as close to a stand up bass sound as possible. Are flatwounds the way to go? If so, what are...

    Premium Makeover: Semi-hollow Edition

    I've been a huge fan of Bisonic pickups ever since I got into the 60's Jack Casady and Phil Lesh tones, back in my teens. My first bass that was equipped with any Bisonic family pickup was an Ibanez ASB-140 I bought new in 2007, for which I ordered a new Hammon Dark Star pickup (replacing the...

    Strap Button Extension

    I really like my Ibanez Artcore AGB140. I recently installed an Ibanez PFR pickup in it and the sound and playability have really impressed me, except for the way that it hangs, with first position causing a bit of a reach. I had previously addressed this issue on my Danelectro '64 thusly...

    Smoother Strings for an Ibanez Artcore Vintage Bass

    I have an Ibanez Artcore Vintage bass (AGBV200A). It has a very "upright" sound that I don't want to change, but I would prefer smoother strings. I'm concerned that if I switched to flatwounds or tapewounds, I might change the sound too much, as the pickups are already optimized to have that...
