Super versatile, great ergos, hot pups❤

I hate that I'm just now finding out about this bass because I can't find a single one for sale in blue! :( Sounds amazing! What would you say is a good modern Yamaha equivalent?

i have ...and peavey mark III :)...great !!! thanks hi petr

I've never seen your videos before now. I found this one while searching for anything on the Fernandes BC Rich and Alembic copies. The cloning graphic at 0:52 had me rolling! 🤣

Appreciate the honest review 👍

P bass 😊

I'm all about the affordable gear. Mainly because I can't justify anything better for my skill level. A cool OD pedal that I have is the DOD Mystic Blues OD. Mainly for the separate bass and treble EQ. Helps fight the bass tone suck

This is probably the best instructional video out there because of the value of Rib's wisdom.

I bought one about 4 months ago, simply put, I love it.

Funny as always !

Milk Crate challenge making a comeback in 2024?! Fuck Yeah 😂😂😂

The toan is stored in the milk crate

Keep on rocking. can you talk about bass amp and amp set up for gigs thank you

I'll see if Johnnie wants to stock them at the store.

I never used those new fangled plastic crates. I was old school and had the ones made of metal sides and plastic bottom.

In my basement there are milk crate boxes of: Loose drumsticks Cables Power cords Aux percussion/spare kit parts Bullshit multi-effects pedals, tuners, misc. This video made me chuckle, thanks Rib! 10/10 fricheks

I still have some, they rock!

For sure, we had a ton of milk crates and other plastic totes as well. The Sterlite totes became the main go to because they were cheap. Rubbermaid totes were the ones to have though.

Back in the 80's, I had a job in a plastics manufacturing plant. I was able to take as many rejects home as I could carry. I still have a few of them!

Dude, you are the best)

Mangled cords and stage debris love those crates too!!

😂😂😂

Personally a huge fan of the rickenbacker sound that this thing is going for but I think I'll skip this one. I already have a TRBX which does great fender style tones so I'd like to complement it with a bass with basically the exact opposite pickup mounting positions. I'll probably just mod a stingray or ATK instead of getting this thing.

Hi, days after watching it, this video came to my mind again and after some reflection, I felt like I wanted to add something to the argument as well. I still think that not turning you backs to modern equipment when it comes to bass gear is an essential aspect of carrying human music into the future. But I also don’t think that we should totally abandon vintage gear. What I’m getting to is that we can still innovate by blending modern gear and techniques with vintage stuff. After all, most innovations are the results of these types of blending/ mixing and matching. Cheers, and I hope that you are having a great day 💜

So with the bridge pickup soloed does it give a true OG stingray tone? Some reviews I've seen say it doesn't quite nail the tone of the 4H single pickup model.

Is your P-Bass made of... B L O O D😮?!

How do ya make Chords FROM BassLines, please? Not the other way 'round!

Best bass ever

AM jelly of your bass face.

I just bought this bass. Fed Ex has it. Can't wait.

Really nice review as always! I have an SRSC806 that has nearly the same controls and I'm very happy with it. I can go from playing metal on it to dialing in a thumpy P-bass sort of tone by turning it to passive mode, neck pickup, and treble knob at 0%. On mine (and the SR505E), the treble knob acts as a tone control while passive mode is on. I also just realized my SRF705 has the exact same bridge as your 505, but I luckily haven't run into any issues yet 😬🤞

when they send a new bridge is it the same one or updated

I got the 6 string version used online. Has the same exact scratch . The neck was all crooked until a year later I learned how to straighten it. Because of that bridge the action can't be lowered very low

That was a really cool piece you did in the intro Rib!

So would you rate this as a high-level entry model or the low end of the intermediate? If the bridge starts to go bad again Hipshot will probably make something that can replace it for life and work really well. I have used two of their bridges and I beat instruments to death.

The Ibanez basses sound great but to me, they don't feel like the best quality.

What kind of pick are ya using?

Very fond memories of this bass. My first 5 string and I got it in 2012. I had the bridge issue and guitar center took it back for a full refund. I miss the feeling of the neck. Agreed about the pickups but you have a ton of aftermarket options.

Thanks. These are notorious 4 paint job, cheap Bartolinis R garbage (sorry), but the bridge is smth new. Wow

Looking forward to the SR series. Do they have the thinnest necks? Seems like Ibanez, ESP, and Schecter are the three makers of thin necks.

The only real change in the new 500s is an active/passive switch has been added. but I would guess that it is around 2010 or so. Not bad at all.

The intro track on this video was pure gold.

Not gonna lie, when it comes to Ibanez I much prefer the BTBs over the SRs, but overall just find it super difficult to buy a bass with a battery and if I do it's probably going to read "Yamaha" on the headstock. Would be cool to do a BTB vs SR vid though. Similarly priced and all.

Great - and fun - review, as usual, thx ! :) I do agree with a lot of things you've said here. I own and play the new SR505EL, mainly because it's one of the rare and, imho, good, 5 strings bass available for left handed player like me ! And very versatile indeed ! Idk and can't tell for the BH2 vs MK1, because I never tried the first version... But one thing I can tell is that on the new version, Ibanez added a passive/active switch, hopefully, because I found my battery running off very quickly on this instrument, and having played it a lot in passive mode, I can also tell it's surprisingly pretty good ! Just one warning concerning the specs : it seems that the finish of the body is mahogany, but the body itself is in okoumé, an african tree. But the sound doesn't feel worse because of that, quite the contrary ! Bises from Paris ! ;)

Too many knobs.

Great review!

Love ya channel man. Always cool get some insights and stories from an experienced musician, I‘d love to be a session bassist one day too, at least in my town. Greetings from Germany!🤘🏼

Scarily accurate... guilty on all counts... (maybe not the kimonos)

I got both. A 2022 JS3 in metallic red and a 2016 SR300EB in metallic red as well as my newly acquired JS3V in walnut stain satin. Now i just have to have some songs to play with that B string as my four stringers are in drop D for the music I play

Exactly ! Although I enjoy watching Charles and Davie 504 play bass, that type of playing can only Be done by them. Every bass player is different... Every bass is different as well. It takes years to get the "feel" for Laying down a song and then playing That song with a band -live.
