My New SRX700

I had intended on getting a Fender bass, and has a few models in mind. So, off i went to Guitar Center for some test drives.......

AND....after trying out a Geddy Lee, an Aerodyne, a Deluxe Active Jazz, and a BUNCH of other basses, I chose the.....

*IBANEZ SRX700*

I also had a guy play them, who is pretty good, and he played a bunch of styles for me to listen to.

It just plain sounded better to me, and was able to get just about ANY sound I wanted. Bottom end is superb and it can also do a lot of treble. It can sound like a Rock bass, OR a Jazz bass. It can "slap".

The body is Swamp Ash and it has a thru neck. I can pluck a string without it being plugged in, and the body resonates for quite some time. Plugged in, the sustain is such that I can go take a leak, and come back, and its still going.....It is a little heavy, but not bad.

Made in Korea, the quality control was excellent, and I can't find a flaw on it, or anything not to like.

The active EQ gives me a LOT of sound options. The Fender Active did too, but the SRX700 had it for LUNCH! It just plain sounded superior.

The neck feels great, and the action was set up perfectly.

Bottom line......it flat out beat the others, head to head.

I totally agree with you. I looked at and tried a few other basses, and when I grabbed the SRX 700 i knew that was the one. It plays great and I love mine.
