It is not too hard to find a set of 5 string bass strings on Flat wound strings tend to produce a warmer sound. It was because I wanted to get a little bit of a stand up bass sound that I bought D'Addario ETB 92 Tape wound strings. Strings wound with nickel make for a good all-around sound. If you want a bright sound, steel wound strings are the way to go. The sound you want will depend on what kind of strings you buy, so you might have to buy more than one package if you want the right sound for In addition, you probably will have to trim a little bit of the strings' ends after you put them on the A couple of bass string packages will state extra long strings that measure up to 36 inches in scale length.

The amp I am using is my first 5 stringed bass. I have played bass for many years now, but this is my first. It took me a couple of weeks researching and obsessing over which five string to get, but I think I made the right choice. The tone was great right out of the box, and I will be adding some Dunlop super brights to the guitar soon. A 9 volt bass booster makes this thing sound like a beast. This is a really good bass and it's really cheap!.
Her 15th birthday was meant to be a special occasion for her. This is a 5 string guitar and she loves its color and the fact that it is five strings. Guitar and piano are already her two main instruments, and she wanted to learn bass. * This bass was a little lighter than several other bass with five strings she tried (she's a little girl). I love how easy it is to play, how good it sounds, and how easy it is to use on IE. A guitar's neck and bridge need to be adjusted as well as the Currently, I am taking dictation to write the review! This is a fantastic job for a newbie. She is very satisfied, as are we!.
The reviews on this guitar were good so I decided to buy it. In contrast to the one I received, this one has issues. There is a lot of fret buzz and the pickup covers are loose or at least wobbly. Although I have adjusted the neck and raised the strings at the bridge there is still buzzing in the fretboard. It is strange that the person who set it up back in Indonesia didn't find this error when it was being made? Most likely because Ibanez does not pay for corrections just cranks out corrections no matter the situation. Even though I would return the guitar, it's about as good as you're going to get for the price. It'll take some more work on my part, maybe shimming the bridge under the bridge or something like that to get rid of the buzz.
The bass is my first instrument. I've played it for quite The line-ups range from a Fender jazz to a Dean $100 bass guitar. There are so many things that are great about this one. For the price, it's definitely a great bass. However, I dislike the boost knob, as it amplifies the bottom bass to an extreme and takes away the natural way bass sounds. The instrument is ready to play and is tuned right out of the box.
That is one great bass! When I unboxed it, it turned on right away. I was impressed with the sound and how the strings behaved. The BUZZZZZZZZZ does not exist. Buying now is the best idea as prices will move once word gets out.
According to another reviewer, this guitar should have never left the factory in the condition it is in. A pair of strings were barely strung, the bridge was too low, and the neck was too short out of the box. There were literally no strings left to play in the top two positions. It's playable and has a thick yet thick sound now that the bridge has been raised (significantly) and tuned. As for the neck, I cannot adjust it myself, so I will have to have it adjusted by a professional. As far as the rest of the instrument goes, it's a beautiful instrument and for an entry level 5 string, it sounds great for the price. Just be prepared for a lot of adjustments or a journey to your local guitar technician.
A bass has just been delivered to me. It is necessary to let the CDs dry before plugging them in, so I cannot play them at this time. The bass was a bit frosted and damp when I opened it up for the first time. The color I wanted took me a month and a half to get because it was my favorite. As politely as I can, I am extremely upset that the ups driver left my new Ibanez 5 string bass on a snowbank at the end of my driveway while it was 17° outside.
