Ibanez can do no wrong.
Atli Jarl 21.01.2025
I was interested in getting a multiscale bass after trying my good friend's Dingwall 4 string. I am a 5 stringer though, and I was contemplating getting a 5 string SRMS bass, but I thought to myself, why not get a 6 string. I've tried quite a few 6 string basses, mostly Warwicks but never an Ibanez, which is my preferred weapon of choice. Now, the band I play with tune the E down to C#, so the B string is aaaaalll the way down to G#, so I've got a .135 and .110 in it as is, but I'm going .148 .118 next.

Superb craftsmanship, of course, the neck is superfast and delightful, but the MK2 Bartolinis were a bit of a letdown compared to the MK1's in my SR505. They sound very good, but not absolutely great like the predecessors.

Still thinking of going even further on the multiscale and getting a 37" BTB MS 5 string to have as my main weapon of choice.

And of course Thomann's service and delivery was 666%, as I've gotten to know them by now.

Viel Bass für's Geld..
Timo 793 06.03.2025
Ein Multiscalebass für's Taschengeld.. Hier zeigt Ibanez wieder, dass ein gutes Instrument nicht teuer sein muss. Die Verarbeitung ist gut, das Hochglanz-Finnish ist sehr ebenmäßig und die Maserung vom Holz kommt super zur Geltung.
Klanglich.. Bartoloni MK2 bei google eingeben.. Basslastig, unausgewogen.
Die Elektronik dürfte aus meiner Sicht simpler gestaltet sein.. Geschmackssache, man findet sich dennoch gut zurecht und die Bedienung ist relativ intuitiv.. trotzdem..
Geiles Teil und auf jeden Fall sein Geld wert!
