First time I’ve ever bought ANY instrument “new in box”. This is the second one of these to crop up here in a week and a half....

Ibanez SR405emqm. No idea why that pic uploaded sideways....

Congrats!

Looking good! Good choice, the Ibanez SR line is real value for money imo

The neck on this is just a night and day difference compared to the GSR206SM I grabbed last year to explore 6 strings. The GSR is TOO thin/flat, the SR 5 string profile is damn near PERFECT.

Were you that guy that traded a basic good bass for an Ibanez Gio to use 6 strings and regretted it afterwards?

Yup.


the GSR has good bones, I can’t call it “bad”.....but it’s definitely “not for me”. I HAD a 405QM, the slightly older version where the pickups didn’t have pole pieces, and this newer feels just like I remember.

Uuuuuhhh... That's a pretty one!

Well, this one is way better imo

Nice! I love Ibanez basses. They generally have a very comfortable feel and are great value for money. Usually very versatile instruments too.
