Show Us Your Non- Warwick Bass Then!

[Gnermo]

Paid 50 euro's for these two combined, the bass has an issue where it only makes volume when you hit the strings very hard.
But it's semi acoustic, and very neat.

Piezo?? Ask a luthier to check
Nice bass - nice catch

 

[Gnermo]

Already fixed it by cleaning the PCB and potentiometers

 

[BrusselsBass]

And a nice little combo too - the GK are quite good

 

[Nachobassman]

Those GK combos are legendary

Ash and maple day !

@kascollet what year is the Ibby? Beautiful looking. Still have my two Soundgears.

It’s a 2013 ATK 1200 Prestige. A quite rare high end ATK. The fit and finish is amazing, and certainly superior to the USA Deluxe Fender.

IBANEZ ATK 1200 Prestige

Hi everyone ! Une basse qui n’avait pas eu sa review alors qu’elle est dans mes mains depuis bientôt trois ans. Je suis impardonnable. Réparons l’impair ! Une review de plus donc, pour mon excellente IBANEZ ATK 1200 Prestige. Comme toutes mes basses, c’est une originale, un engin décalé qui sort ...

Traded for this Schack Unique:

German bass, very unique neck construction system and insanely good preamp.

Today an „Aloha“ from me!

 

[kascollet]

ESP Forest in full EMG setup (40DC-X + BQS preamp). Sounds just as mean as it looks !

 

[DiMarco]

Looks very metal! Curious about how it sounds, I was searching for some demos on YT but sadly only found an old one of the LTD version.

 

[kascollet]

I just recorded some short soundclips. It sounds full and heavy, with a very detailed midrange. Sustain and clarity are top notch. Perfect low-B.
An overall great modern fiver.
This one is the neck through version, with an ebony board.

First clip goes from bridge PU to neck then both :

Vintage Ibanez SR.
100% same woods as my Thumb : bubinga body, wenge/bubing neck and ebony fretboard

 

[Gnermo]

Which one do you have?
I have a SR1306PD with WARWICK woods. They made these in the early 90's right after Warwick's success I think.

 

[kascollet]

Mine is a 1500BG from 1991.
Very close to yours with bubinga body, ebony FB, DiMarzio PU and PowerCurve parametric preamp.

It has the weird three pieces Acu-Cast bridge (wheighs 360gr !) :

Something quite close to my old walnut BO4 (but the Ibby’s neck is crazy thin).

 

[Gnermo]

That's a beautiful Ibanez, those bridges will forever stop me from buying another (they just aren't that well adjustable) but man....
Underrated basses.

Picture from 2020, all but the green SR1200 and blue SR1000 (because it's broken, and i bought it like that. didn't pay attention when buying it...) are gone.

I love the blue one
and the maple FB is from the 80s ?

 

[Gnermo]

Ibanez Roadster is from the 70s

 

[PaulS]

I have an SR1300 from 94 same woods as that
