Ibanez guitars | Electric Basses 2008 - SR706

so it looks like people in japan will be able to enjoy this new awesomeness and the rest of the world wont (correct me if i am wrong)
i would really love to try this one

i already tried the sr 506 and the 1006 both are great basses but their neck just feels wierd to me particulary on the sr 1006 the B string was tension almost tension loss comparing to my sr405 and i use standard diadario strings

Id rather stick to the 506. not big on transblack finishes really

There's always Ishibashi or Ikebe.

i would stick to it too regardless what paintjob it has its just that i didn't like the neck on 505,506 even though it supposed to be better model than my sr405

Holy shit, that's hot! I've been planning on buying an SR506 for a while now but I think this looks preferable. Thanks for the info!

Edit: Just found it on Sam Ash's site, as seen here.

Wow, that's really hot. Glad to see it's not Japan only

The five string is hot too Ibanez guitars | Electric Basses 2008 - SR705

Though I love that the 5 is only available in blue and the 6 is only available in black. Ibanez, specializing in choice

i am glad to know that i was wrong. maybe i will get an opportunity some time some where to try one of this basses.
considering the fact that right now i am basically broke and this will remain like this way for few yearsdue to my studies etc... i wont be able just to order that one and just try it as maybe some of you will
if any one is getting on i demand pictures! (please)

I swear to god, ibanez' finishing department is nothing but an overdone color coding unit

Fucking sweet... trans-black + black chrome hardware = Variant with an erection!

 

[Apophis]

Looks great

 

[Shawn]

I like those alot. I would love to get one.

i was trying to calm my gassing over this bass by looking for more pics very stupid idea....
and now that i have discovered this it seems to be in controllable levels again.

any way, WHAT THE FUCK did ibanez think when they put the battery between the 2 pickups? this area of wood is very important for tone and sustain
there is enough body wood to stick it else where, why the fuck on that spot?????

and fuck! the finish is insane, i love it

 

[ZeroSignal]

I don't like the stripe down the middle...

I don't like the stripe down the middle...

me neither it would look good if it was a neckthru

 

[JoeyTRabbit]

I myself have the SR706TK and even with the battery between the two pickups, it still has a very nice tone to it. Doesn't seem to make a difference to me.
