Good review thanks. Since you mentioned NORSTRAND is there a possibility to do a review on SR2600/5 there is no good review of this bass anywhere. I am look at it but is not available where I live only on order so without a good review I don't want to do that. So help us with your detailed review as always. Thanks a keep up a food work it helps a lot.

I have the black 1005ms on order and I thought the same thing about the pickups. The Barts don't seem bad but I really wish they had a Nordstrand option in the lower solid finish models, I would have gladly paid a little more for them. I don't really care either about the fancier woods on the 1505, just not worth the extra $400 to me, but the Nords may be worth an extra hundred or so. Thanks for your reviews of this bass, especially the head to head with the NS Wave bass, I was considering both of these basses as a lighter, more ergonomic alternative to my main bass (an 11 pound Stingray 5HH) and your review pushed me firmly over to the Ibanez.

I have the EHB1505 (Dragon Eye Burst) and have the EHB1000 on order, but if Ibanez had more choices for finish for the normal fret EHB1000 series, I would have bought the cheaper EHB1000/1005 models instead--especially with that beautiful Sea Foam Green Matte finish like on yours. But the EHB1005 only comes in black, and I don't like how the black hardware just blends together with it.

Mr. Lobster, thank you very much for your insight on this Ibanez model. I have been having tons of wrist arthritis in my fretting hand for months (diagnosed with RA last year) which hasn't allowed me to jam for longer periods. A couple of my peers suggested perhaps giving a fanned fret model a try given it's more ergonomic design. I have a couple of questions: 1. Based on my viewpoint, is it difficult to play chords on the upper register of the neck? 2. How is the intonation across on this? I have played many, many straight fret setups and also with my buddy's true temperament setup. Does the fanned fretting impact the intonation? 3. Which fret is the neutral point? I've been told it varies from bass to bass. Thanks again!

@LowEndLobster

4 жыл бұрын

Mr. Weir, thank you for the comment! Sorry to hear about your RA. I'll do my best to answer your questions. 1. Yes, but not in the perspective of reaching things. The forward angle of the frets at the lower register of the neck IMO makes things a bit easier and more natural feeling. That being said, the upper register is where things get a bit challenging. Certain chords will definitely require a little adjustment or a change in your hand positioning/finger arrangement, but the angle on these basses is not very drastic compared to other multiscale instruments. 2. Intonation on these is OK, I had to tweak it a little but now don't have any issues. I think the 24th fret on the G string might be a hair sharp, but nothing bad enough to drive me crazy or change my opinion of the instrument. 3. Neutral point in regards to fret angle? Around the 6th-7th fret, with the angle being mostly neutral through 12. Hope that helps! Thanks again for watching :)

I’m purely in love with this bass. I haven’t put it down other than to work/sleep/eat/comment in videos that feature it. I find that if you just roll back some of the bass you can get more treble out of it, especially if your crank the mid range selector high and give about 75% on the mid boost. I use about 40% bridge pick up 60% neck when I do that and it’s a great cut through slap tone. Obviously it can handle plenty of bass tones. What strings are you using on yours? You can throw some cobalts on there too for more brightness but let me tell you they go bad pretty fast for $$$ strings.

Hey David! It really depends on your wall mount, I was able to hang it on mine briefly, but I noticed it started to sink a little bit and would have eventually fallen. That being said, there are solutions that include a support for underneath the body. A two piece wall mount solution like that would probably be the most reliable. If you can't find a standard wall mount with the bottom support, you could probably use one from one of those "sideways" wall mounts. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching :)

After I’ve went home and doodle on it for a while set the string height to my taste it played so well, the intonation is still great. But the weather where I’m living changed drastically, it was raining so hard the other day, went quite hot yesterday and became a little cooler today. I picked it up and felt the neck has more relief. So I went and put on a capo on the first fret and hold on to the fret over the neck joint (as I normally do on a regular scale bass) it bent quite a bit. Then, I adjusted the truss rod and hoped that a little setup in the bridge will do, but nope, can’t manage to get the intonation perfectly as it was. If it was a normal situation I’d have brought it to the shop to get it fixed right away but because of the virus......

Hi, what benefits does the multi-scale give you? I read online that it is supposed to make the B string tighter and more defined but I'm unsure if 1 inch would make any difference. Also, the MS is supposed to give the treble strings (G or C) more low end. Do you find any of this to be true?

Heyo! Yes, I find that to be true. You get the shorter scale benefits of a G and D string that aren't as 'tight' as on a 34" scale (though not drastically different) and have a little more low end, and the B string is very well defined. Many 5 string players opt for 35" scale for a better B string, though scale length isn't the only factor determining a good B.

Hey! Maybe a weird question, but could you tell a specific weight of this bass? There is no info even from Ibanez themselves.

Hey! Thanks for the question. The bass weighs 7.2 lbs

Each bass is going to be a little different as no two pieces of wood are the same. That being said, mine weighs about 7.2 Lbs. VERY light and well balanced. I'm going to be getting an EHB1505 in a couple of weeks,

@@LowEndLobster Oh man, thanks sooooo much for answering! I was personally wondering to buy a 6string version (which probably will indeed weigh a little more), but it is probably still much lighter than almost any 6string bass on the market. (unfortunately, it's unavailable in Europe almost till 2021, so... yeah)

In passive mode, is it sound like jazz? precision? or musicman?

Great question, given the style of these pickups I'd say none of the above (but probably closest to a Jazz?)

Will a wall hanger hold that neck?? Still, I play Metal...I would like to see a 4 string, fanned frets.and matte black....or a dark natural wood satin finish. ;-)

I wouldn't feel comfortable hanging this on a wall long term. I hung it briefly, and it began to slowly slide down the hanger. I took it off before anything happened, but I think it wouldn't work unless you had a separate hanger underneath supporting the bass from the bottom.

One question, do you believe this bass worth his money?

@LowEndLobster

Yes, I think it's an excellent value. I'll be getting an EHB1505MS soon and compare them, but honestly... besides the nordstrand pickups, I don't see any other reason to go for the higher end model. The EHB1005MS is an excellent value where it stands.

Next review the BFGOU812 420-69 007TLDR. These model names are getting stupid. Fine for internal use, but come on.

100000% agree. They're going the way of BMW with their model names lol. They should give it a cool name like the 'Harrier' or something. "Brah, you see the new Ibanez Harrier 5 string?', has a nice ring to it lol

If it played like it looks I would have bought it. But it sounds like an old P bass. Nope for me.

I disagree on it sounding like a P-bass, but to each their own. I actually just got a EHB1505MS that has different pickups, wood, and sounds different. I'll be posting a video of that one soon. Stay tuned :)

@LowEndLobster

3 жыл бұрын

Eh I don't hate it, the 1005 just suits me much better. I find the feel of the roasted neck better to the porous wood on the 1505 which definitely has a different 'texture' that's not as smooth. Still, both are best selling instruments from Ibanez and for good reason- they brought headless back to the mainstream!
