That's the right way to demo a bass with a wide range of settings! Thanks so much!

Great review,love that fact that you showed the bass had no neck dive. So many KZfaqrs forget about this aspect of the bass. I am a Ibanez Bass player myself. Ibanez does produce some amazing bases and guitars hands down one of the greatest companies for money can buy!!

this review was the reason for buying this bass - fantastic instrument. Thanks a lot for your work

I just got this thing, and I love it. It plays like an absolute dream. I haven’t got a handle on the guitars EQ and my Ampeg amp yet, but I’m getting there. But the neck is awesome, it looks like a million bucks, and I’m extremely satisfied. $800 well spent.

Sounds great in passive mode with that tone knob all the way down.

Your video editing during the demo far superior than anything I’ve seen on KZfaq thanks.

What a great demo. This helped me quite a lot. Gracias, Iván.

I gigged mine with the band for the first time at the weekend. It did the job well.

Just bought the blue satin edged version, exact same...very versatile bass, i use it passive in my rig as pedal board is pro buffered input & output...sounds great, it does balance well on the strap and those pickups are very good & great bridge design, real Abalone inlays...a lot of bass for your money... well demo'd Ivan....

I’m planning on picking one of these up from my friend. As soon as you hit that first mid boost, I was like “dang this thing needs an octaver.” It sounds really good. Thanks for the thorough demo

I’m getting the 5 string version in a few weeks. I cant wait.

Very comprehensive review! Good tutorial for others to make reviews. And the bass is amazing of course! Thinking to get one of these.

Very nice demo, well recorded. Thank you Ivan ;-)

This is a hugely helpful demo. Thanks so much.

Hi Ivan, thx for your nice review. Would it be possible for you to make a follow up video soon in which you compared these Ibanez basses with the ones of Yamaha of the TRBX product family? I've heard so many goog things about those basses and I really would be interessted to learn about your opinion. Since you're channel has evolved impressively over the last year or so, I am nearly convinced that Yamaha Germany would also be very eager to help you in any way. 😎

My first gig with my 600 was at the weekend. The bass and treble knobs on 10 and the mids on 0 made my small 1x12 give low end like a 2x15 but with good top end.

Just got mine today!... Love it

I bought this when it first came out. Thanks for review. Also you play so good I could learn much from you

Great video. What I really apreciate is that there is no tremendous boost in volume shifting from passive to active

What do you think about these licesend Big Break Nords compared to (also licensed) Barts MK1 which were put on lots of Ibanez SRs before?

I bought one after watching this KZfaq. You should hear it through a Boss BB-1X Bass Driver; it's monster. The Driver keeps the low end, even on full overdrive.

Nice growl on that one!

I have the. 605 e in black..love it

Sounds good man, thanks.👍

Just got one for my first bass

awesome playing. thanks I am sold. going to guitar Center tomorrow

Graicias Iván for this awesome video

Nice review, thanks.

Just noticed when your playing in passive mode it says tone 100% but treble pot at detent position which is only 50%...only noticed after watching 100 times...lol...i really like my 600E...the Nordstrom pickups are great in passive mode plus pan pot as well as treble pot works in passive mode...got a good quality leather 3" padded strap,pretty kool looking & comfortable...i can use the 600E for most genres of music, many tones as pickups are so quiet,very versatile...don't you just hate it when someone points out something..lol...still a great vid Ivan....👍🎸

Great review Ivan, thanks. Any chance you can tell us the neck width at the 12th fret?

The most beautiful bass, in my opinion.

Awesome review, that baby is gonna be a great friend for my SR650. What strings are equipped on it? Judging by the overall tone as well as the coloured ball ends, i guess it is a set of D'Addario 45/100 or 45/105

It's frustrating that the brown burst is only available on the 4 string when its clearly the best colour!

I have a 1300SB with Big Breaks. I find it odd that there isn't much information about them. I wonder if they're actually just Big Splits? Anyways, good review as always. Looking into the 600 series for a cheaper backup.

How do the Nordstrand pick-ups compare to Aguilar pick-ups? One thing I really like about the Ibanez SR2400 (Aguilar pick-ups) is the volume level balance between the different strings. The E string is not blaring loud, like on cheap Ibanez basses -- Almost like having built-in compression. This is much more noticeable and appreciated when playing live versus recording.

Fantastic review! I really love the sound of those pickups in passive - together they sound pretty close to a J-Bass, and the neck pickup only sounds pretty close to a P-Bass! The active mode also sounds pretty great, and the fit and finish looks gorgeous! Do I need another 5-string...? 😅

Nice review of a pretty cool bass! How is the acoustic sound of the bass? I prefer to hear and feel the bass sound when playing unpluged (like a Fender J or P bass)

Just bought this, first bass. Great video! Told me everything I needed. Anyone got any cool bass centric songs to recommend to learn? Any genre.

Really cool review, very nice looking bass :D Quick question regarding the feel of the neck, does it have any sharp edges or frets? Can't seem to find any information online on whether this comes with rolled frets

I have been looking at getting a new bass. I saw this bass and immediately feel in love with how it looks. I really appreciate your review. I'm pretty sure that this will be my next bass. BTW, what is that opening song that you played? I really want to learn that one. Thank you for this post.

Ivan, a great demo but, how much does it weigh, please ?

me encanta el tono , yo lo definiria como un tono entre el jazz y el precision

Im a pretty new bassist and Im just surfing around trying to learn the difference between the various types of bass. I know I own a entry level P/J bass from Ibanez but thats pretty much it. The SR600E is also a P/J bass, right? Ive kinda fell in love with them but I also realize I havent really experienced something else either.

Thanks l can Great info

Once you lowered the action, did you find you were getting a lot of bass buzz? I haven’t tried the 600 but on the Ibanez 300 and 500 series I feel like there is a bit more buzz than I might like. Great vid. Thanks.

Have you ever used bartolini bh2 pickups? If so how would you compare these to those in your opinion? Also, does this finish seem susceptible to chipping? The SR500 line unfortunately has this problem, it’s difficult to tell if the 600 series does as well just by videos / photos

Hello! Is there a big difference in the dynamics/volume of the sound when switching from active to passive?

gosh darn it. i have a 2017 sr655 but this clearly sounds better (compared to your demo of the 650). the big breaks sound much more like a bass pickup should.

A cuando esta ese modelo

All my Ibanez basses had high action new and needed adjustment.....made well, set up poorly

How much does it weight?

Hello! Would you say that its a " better bass" than the 500 series? checking the specs, the only difference are the ash body and the Bartolini pick ups. Its $100 difference

i love this bass! i want to buy it right now, but how much is the weight in kilos? thank you

Thanx

its comfortable when you play on the fingerboard?I mean if the neck is narrow. I would like to buy this bass but this last aspect is pretty important. Thanks from Spain.  Enviar comentarios Otras personas también buscan

Is this better than the Ibanez 650e?

What are the settings for the growl?

What is your preferred string height?

Could u do ibanez sr670?

Is the finish a veneer, or real wood? Thanks.

Do you prefer the neck pick up on the sr600e or the sr650?

i have to ask is there a big diffence between sr600e and sr1340b because other one is 500€ more expensive and i dont know much about them and imo i dont think i would notice the difference if its a small difference someone pls help

Hola soy Lalo y estoy interesado de ese modelo de Bajo

I tried two of these basses. They were both over 9 pounds. Was I just unlucky?

whats strigs are you use?

I would put that baby in the studio and put it by a 5k federa, wont tell the difference. They all make music.

This bass is not light at all by Ibanez standards. I actually wish they cut about a pound off the weight. But ash is naturally a heavier wood than most. But calling it light is a false statement.

Trying to sell my US Fender JB to buy this… Thinner neck.

Dude it's a bass, not a guitar. Why the cringey pick? Fingers and slap only, please. Video deemed untrustworthy :D
