Pardon my french
what I absolutely didn't plan to buy at the start of the process. I was merely looking for a 5 string because I'm tired of always retuning to this and that. I browsed for cheap but good 500ish basses and I of course ended up spedning twice as much.

A Wild case appears !
What is it ??
Tadam
She's an Ibanez SR 1805 NTF.
Very comfortable to play, the pickups sound excellent through my bass patches on the axe II. It came with a set of elixirs 130 and for once they are perfectly suited to that bass. Not bridge cables, just appropriate tension, you can rest on the strings and they answer to pressure very well. Setup is perfect and nothing to change there, really.
As a bonus, as it is likely the first one they sell, Thomann sent me a real picture of the bass as it is the one they used for their web site. My pics are nigthtime indoors and not the best I'll see if I can do better ones this week end (it needs a back shot, it is actually a one piece body). That bass really is pretty.
The Wenge/bubinga neck has a very thin satin finish and looks stunner.
Was a little thrown off at first as the EQ didn't seem to work.... well, one of the switches is an EQ bypass and it was on bypass position. XD The mid shift switch really opens up two possibilities of tones.
I got ze heavies very easily and this bass otherwise sounds reaaaal good. Way above my LTD F404, which may just be due to EMGs not being my thing, as the LTD is a very good piece of luthery.
As you can see o the pic I also got a new sound card because I can't record voices with the axefx and wanted something to put in a rack and that will stay there, so my recording setup isn't redone yet, I'll try to rcord something soon.
