Ibanez SR400 Review

History:

Purchase: I bought it at Music Warehouse for $500 with the case. I was only able to get this great price because the salesman had mislead me about a Jackson base guitar that I took back and exchanged for the SR400.

Pros: This base fits alomst everything I was looking for in a base. I have been playing for a while on a beginer base for about two and a half years. After very extensive research I decied this was it. Everybody I found gave good reviews. The kneck is very nice and fast. The light amber color goes very well with the hardware. The controls are amazing! I am able to manipulate the sound from the extreme deep base to the classic slap style. For all the specific details just check out www.ibanez.com/guitars/guitar.asp?model=SR400&color=2. As far as the pickups and sound of the SR400 goes I have found nothing wantng.



Cons: If you are used to playing one of those really light bases, the SR400 will take a bit of adjustment. The neck needs some slight adjustments like all new bases in my experience. The only other complain I would have is that one of the knobs was not very well tightened, and after some abuse has come off. This is easily fixed though.

SR400 Quality: The quality and construction is great and I have nothing but praise for this product.

Ibanez Summary: During my research I came upon a statistic that said that Ibanez was the most popular bass guitar maker. I was interested in another base at the time so I did not think much of it. Now I know why. The SR400 is well priced, has great sound, and as far as looks go, not many come close. I only rate this bas as a four star because I have yet to find a perfect base.
