It would be the perfect bass, BUT...

Tenrai 20.06.2024

The instrument looks cool, sounds great, very comfortable, quality fittings, widest range of sound options. I could call this bass a perfect instrument, if not for the nightmarish, completely incompatible with the word "premium" workmanship.
The first guitar arrived with ringing frets. Just bad fretwork, the height of neighboring frets varies greatly. Well, sent it back. The second guitar arrived with a huge cavity (2-3 centimeters long and three millimeters deep) on the back side of the neck (where the palm rests). Also sent it back. The third guitar arrived with a noticeable knot on the wood, but it was on the back side of the deck and I didn't try my luck, so I kept it. But it was not the end of the story.
After some time (quite a long time, the return deadline has already passed) I noticed that the scale is not set up correctly. I tried to adjust it, and - surprise! - there is not enough adjustment range of the saddles to adjust the proper scale! The saddles are too far away from the fingerboard, and with the tuning screws fully turned out, the guitar understates the note at the 12th fret! I tried this on factory strings, bought another pack of Ernie Ball strings of the same caliber - all the same thing. I had to buy a mixed set with thicker 3, 4 and 5 strings (45-135), and with this set it got a little better (at the 12th fret there is now 4-6 cents down with the tuning screws turned all the way out).
The result is a completely useless instrument for professional work, you will have to go to the master and spend more money (if it can be fixed at all), on which it is impossible to put thinner strings and impossible to put even factory caliber strings.
Toman support said that this quality is normal and there is no need to do anything about it. Well, that's a good lesson at a cost of almost 1,4K euros.
Ibanez, you owe me money for the three sets of strings I had to buy for experimentation and, much more importantly, the lost good mood and pleasure of the purchase.

Cette basse, comme beaucoup de la série Ibanez SR, convient bien aux petites mains, cordes espacées de 16.5 mm, manche pas très large et peu épais. Le préampli intégré, 3 bandes avec choix de 3 fréquences pour le médium, donne une grande versatilité. Très bon point : le mode passif fonctionne vraiment même s'il n'y a pas de pile (ce n'est pas le cas de toutes les basses). Par contre s'il y a une pile elle continue d'alimenter le préampli même en mode passif, mais c'est un détail. La qualité de fabrication, de finition est bonne. Elle est équilibrée. Avec un poids de 4.2 Kg elle n'est ni légère ni lourde, prévoir quand même une sangle large et souple. Elle est livrée avec un outil qui permet de tout régler, c'est bien, et avec une housse qui la protège mais qui s'avère inconfortable quand on met la basse dans le dos, à pied ou en vélo. Les micros sont très bons, ils rendent beaucoup d'aigu, la lutherie est très bonne, le sustain est bon, du coup ce n'est pas une basse de débutant, on entend bien toutes les imperfections de jeu. Il faut juste mettre un bout de scotch noir sur les plots des micros qui se chargent de la corde de Si pour éviter un "clac" quand cette corde touche les plots. C'est la même blague avec tous les micros à pots apparents. La corde de Si est correcte. Certains pourraient se dire que ça fait cher pour une Ibanez, ce n'est pas une marque de prestige, on arrive dans les 1500 euros à l'heure où je rédige ces lignes, mais je ne pense pas qu'on trouvera mieux pour ce prix chez d'autres fabricants, industriels ou luthiers.

¡CONTENTO, LA VERDAD !

Falupo 01.12.2025

Tenía un BTB 1835 que la verdad suena muy bien...pero me resultaba un poco pesado y más difícil de tocar aunque llegué a acostumbrarme. Entonces miré otras opciones y la del Sr 1355 me gustó sin haberlo probado ni oído tocar a nadie porque vi que era más parecido y cómodo como los bajos que había tenido antes (SR). Pues bien la verdad es que estoy encantado con el Sr 1355, suena como un cañón tanto en activo como pasivo y creo que las Norstrand dan incluso más señal que las Aguilar (las dos me encantan ) Pero con este bajo consigo sacar esos agudos y graves que a mi me gustan. Cuerdas adecuadas...pero tuve que perder como un día para tocar el alma, quintaje y demás. No digo que lo dejen perfecto pero es que en este ni perdieron tiempo en dejarlo minimante en condiciones. Conclusión, Un buen bajo ,cómodo, pastillas potentes y desde que lo puse en condiciones ni se ha canteado el alma ni la afinación con las Gotoh . Lo recomiendo cien por cien.
