    Double new bass day! Ibanez SRs!

    So I've been a Warmoth fan for a long time. I've owned 4 total builds and loved them all. Recently, they have become heavy and started hurting my shoulder. I ended up parting out the basses and selling here on TB. I've been wanting some nicer Ibanez basses for a while now, so I took this...

    Allen wrench sizes for Ibanez sound gear basses

    I just ordered my first Ibanez bass. Until now I’ve only played fender jazz basses; I recently played an Ibanez, and I appreciated how light it was. Do Ibanez basses come with Allen wrenches for the truss rod and Bridge height adjustments? Thanks so much.

    I traded my Ibanez SR500 for a G&L L-2000 tribute

    Hello One week ago I did a super deal with another bassist. I started to play bass two years ago with a SR500. I chose this bass because of the very good reviews : great neck, easy to play, ideal for a beginner. But I've never been happy with it because of the neck : it's nice, it's smooth, the...

    Convert Bartolini MK-1 from Active to Passive

    Did a lot of digging but can't seem to find any actual detailed data on how to do this. I have an Ibanez SR 505 and tho I love how it feels I really dislike how it sounds. Does anyone have a step by step on how to turn the Bart MK1's from active to a passive?

    To adjust my bridge or not?

    I installed new strings on my Ibanez SR500 but i went from a 45-65-80-100 set to a 40-60-70-95 set, so my bass needs to be setup, especially since my frets are buzzing, more specifically on the D and G string. I press down the 19th fret and measure the space between the 7th fret and the E string...

    Difference between Ibanez SR800(2016) vs SR500 (2018)

    Hi, I've been reading a lot of useful tips on this forum. Was almost set on the latest SR500 - mainly due to thin neck, light weight and overall playability and solid sound. Now I found a mint condition SR800 2016 model for the same price. Cant seem to spot any major differences although a new...

    Are 50-65-85-105 gauge strings safe for my Ibanez SR500's nut?

    When i first got my SR500, it had Elixir strings on it. (Gauge: 45-65-85-105) The strings that i want to buy have a nearly identical gauge, except for the G strings. Would a 50 gauge G string fit on my bass' nut or would i have to make adjustments to the nut so that the 50 gauge can fit?

So, the obvious choice for me is the SR series from Ibanez since they have very thin necks, which I can't live...

    What do you absolutely love and hate about your Ibanez SR500?

    What i really love about it is how comfortable the neck is and how easy it is to restring it thanks to the certain bridge it has. The 3-Band EQ with the 2/3-Way Switch is also really nice. What i terribly hate about it is the wood. Everyone who owned an SR500 knows that the wood is sensitive...

    Old School SR800 or Newer SR500 (AFR vs Bartolini pickups)

My other option is a more recent SR500 (I assume made in china or korea). I see this...

    I'm interested in buying one of these Ibanez SR300E basses in "weathered black" The body is mahogany and seems to be finished similarly to the SR500 - a thin lacquer finish that chips easily. Any idea on whether I could simply sand the finish off and stain/oil the body?
