i always said i wanted a bass with no controls, never thought i’d actually see one in production though.

ESP makes a bass with a single humbucker and just a volume control

Thanks. It is the stock preamp and pickups on latest model of the Ibanez SR600E.

I’m still playing with it - and liking what I’m getting so far. However with all the options in the preamp and pickups, I’m thinking you could get just about any sound you’re after in this unit. I’m also loving the neck width and smoothness. Just an all round pleasure. Can’t wait to see your blue one - it was a toss up for me which one to go with. Can’t go wrong with either IMO.

Same :slight_smile:

Though I could picture a semi-hollow.

You know, when I ordered there was like 30 people who had already ordered the brown burst, and very few the blue, but I like something that pops a little.

I would have preferred a regular trans finish but these are the times we live in.

Really stoked to get it and play with the split humbucker. I probably will find a tone I like and settle for now, I don’t want to lose time on my technical progress right now and I could lose weeks exploring tones

You’ve done a good thing @Wombat-metal :sunglasses: I’m sure you will love your SR.

Yeah that just looks like a great bass. I already love SR’s though so I am an easy sell :slight_smile:

Pictures are here! One thing I like about Sweetwater is you get pictures of what you buy.






And with this coloring, the headstock isn’t obnoxious

Beauty!
That’s a ton of controls on there

Oh man that could bring a really bad case of GAS on :sunglasses:

Hmmmm … maybe I need to get mine a baby brother!!! I might have some challenges getting that authorised by the head of the Finance department. The abalone shell really looks great with that scheme. If you’re anything like me, you’re going to be locked in a room for days. I am just having a little break from my SR600E (to chat about SR600Es) as my fingers are a bit sore :joy:.

That’s a beautiful bass. That ocean blue running over that sandy wood island.

I have a 6 string SR and I love mine. Nice to see SR’s in here lately, tbh. I love the SR headstock though, it’s one of my favorite on any bass.

I like the headstock; the Soundgear logo not so much.
