i love and hate this guitar...i love it because it works and plays....i dont like it because it is made by ibanez and they cant build a fucking bass guitar for crap. i have played some of there other bass guitars that cost upwords of 1-2k and they all sound just like this muddy dull poor and the strings rattle on the frets....yuck... i have my guitar set up for jazz the stings sit very high off the frets and the trust rod has been messed with to fix the string rattle
