serious vibe there. the good ones always get the crap played out of them.
This is so satisfying to watch for some reason
My Ibanez SDGR Soundgear SR 400 - 1994 sounds like a beast until today. Love it.
I have a 1994 sr 500 I bought new in 94. Love it too. This one in the video is the updated sr 500 from mine. It has the 2 Bartolini pick ups where mine has the PJ pick up, set up. Cheers
Japanese Ibbies are the top notch, got 885 and while i am no 5s guy, i wanna keep it as long as possible...
@@mrbungle7586 I upgraded mine with DiMarzio DP 126 BK PJ pickups and I love it
@@WakizashiSabre I don't play 5 strings basses too even if I play Black Death Metal. For that purpose I set my bass on drop C (C G C F)
@@cobe571 Hi, so do you have the original SR 500, like mine?
This is fantastic, thank you! I just pulled the trigger on an ibanez sr400, sight unseen (it was a unicorn find so I took a chance on it). I'm trying to get myself prepared for whatever setup needs to be done once it gets here, since I'm guessing guitar center won't have done a darn thing, haha.
Love my Ibanez SR300, best $100 I ever spent on bass gear.. Best bass out there for the money..
I put .045" - .105" Chrome Flats on mine & it feels great to play..
Headknocker I have that exactly. My sister has it down at college for her church playing, so I miss it. The chromes make it sing, although I put rounds on it for her.
I've been Ibanezed.. love mine.
Was looking forward to seeing the brushes out and a bit of finish repair there Dave.
Ibanez have always made a great range of low/mid to high end bass guitar's that are great value for money...
A few month's back I picked a sweet Ibanez BTB1805-NTL Premium & it's one of the best 5 strings I've ever played...
In light of the coronavirus outbreak stay healthy where ever you are in the world...
.....
Looks like the sr 500 with Bart pups. They do growl.
I thoroughly enjoy the way you distinguish between common popular belief and diligent effort. Not many people are detail oriented and would advise the laziest methods.
My main bass is one of these, but with a zebra wood top. I know there's alot of Ibanez haters, but these actually sound fantastic! I also play Fender P and J basses. I love them all! Thanks for another great video!
Hey man. What do you set the action to on your SR? I'm curious. I just got an SR5000 and I'm a guitar player, I know jack smack about bass. I looked in the Ibby manual and it says 2.5mm at the 12th fret on the low E and 2.0mm at the 12th fret on the G. Sound about right? Or is that a bit high? Mine buzzes a little, but I think that just may be my (bad) technique.
I have same w zebra wood love it ..
@@5urg3x how did it work out
@@Dwightpower88 I ended up selling it about a year and a half ago. Currently looking for another bass, though. I would rather have something that’s lighter and easier to play. Not a fan of heavy instruments.
@@5urg3x There aren't many light basses. Maybe a steinberg? I'm a stingray guy now, can't beat that sound. Not too heavy.
Думал, что также будет показана реставрация покрытия корпуса. Было бы интересно.
I got that same bass, i love it
Ernie Sack. Love it.
Ernie Ballsack🤣🤣🤣
I own the sr505 , sr605 and Ibanez premium 5 string my favorite would be the sr505 which is the5 string version of this bass
I’ve got the same model...an amazing instrument for the price...apart from the nut falling off
Nice relaxing video. Just what I needed after another day of cabin fever in lockdown. Thanks!
My main bass is one of these.....best bass I’ve ever played
What model is this?
@@tomkirk6942 An Ibanez SR500 in brown mahogany. I own the 6 string version and I agree with what Chris says 100%!
That's an Ibanez SDGR. This bass has an eq bypass. Pretty useful when you want to play in either active or passive. I wish I could own one of those. 😊👍
I have one of these, picked it up fairly cheap used.
I really like the bass, sounds good and is super light, but still ballanced.
Being FL, all of my basses always need some kind of maintenance. One of my natural wood basses split, like the actual body split in half. Guess the finish wore off enough to where the elements got to it. Working on fixing it now lmao
Split in Canada? In Boston Mass. too!
Thanks for teaching me how to correctly set up a Strat Tremelo! I been wrong for so many years.
The thin finish on this particular model and years are known too wear like this rather quickly. 500 series Ibanez, I believe.
That SR looks just like my SR505... Played to death and properly wore in...
I need to have a repair done.. but no luthiers close in my area..
I just traded for one of these basses. Mine is near mint condition. I am not a fan of the preamp... thinking about swapping an Audere preamp with the z mode switch. One thing I always notice on these basses is how the stain wears off. I'm tempted to try some sort of satin clear coat to keep mine from ending up the same way. Road worn doesn't look so good on these. lol
Yes. That was brutal indeed. Nice guitar.
Had to check that you hadn't stolen my bass for a second - identical to mine
What an awesome video. Very detailed and educational!💪💪. Thanks so much for sharing it. Where are you located?? I would love to take my bass guitars for repair. God bless you Sir🙏
Is it an SR500? I think they don't even use oil as finish, it's just stained mahogany. I was looking around for the SR505 model (5 string version), as much as I like the ergonomic sleek feel and bright attack and tone clarity of those Ibanez bases, I don't think there exists even one used SR500 that doesn't have half of the stain worn through to bare wood.
I bought a 10yo SR500 off Craigslist last year and the finish was still perfect.
I love the title of this guys page! Dave's fun world!
Holy crap Dave , Are those frosted tips .. wadda rock star 1:08
Could have sworn I heard John Entwistle for a second there.
I really enjoyed that vid. Thanks a bunch, kind Sir!
The dark finish with the light wood underneath. It doesn't take much to go through the finish, and then it looks terrible.
I'm looking at the Lee Vallley 'Luthier Tools and Supplies Catalogue' as I watch this vid. they sell fingerboard sanding blocks , fret spacing rulers, fret files and nut slotting files
55vdub --I cannot find that catalogue---help please
this puppy looks good!!! Go get em Dave!!!
Take that thing upstairs and hammer it through an amp ;)
Boris the Spider! The great John Entwistle of The Who
Hi, can i ask about pot size? Do you notice major difference in quality and operation between branded 16mm vs 24mm. I am not sure if 24mm will fit for my SR885 (probably will with ease), but still, more space inside might be welcome, though make soldering harder a bit... Looking at Gotoh as wanna keep the "girl" most Japan as it could be. Thanks and cool videos.
What about fill the worn brown parts, would look like new then mate..
Love Lee Valley Tools.
Boris the Spider at 11:26. Good stuff. Obviously Entwistle/The Who, but also the Accused did a nasty rendition of it to.
Yep , somebody played the Hell out of that bass . Natural relic job . PEACE
The only really acceptable kind of relic job - the natural wear and tear. Everything else is just douchey.
och70 I could not agree with you more.
Roy Tofilovski Someone paying extra money, to the Fender Custom Shop just for an example, to have their brand new bass look like it has been played for 15 years is retarded.
Have good night Dave...
I was really hoping you were going to deal with the chipped finish. SR505 with the same problem and I’d like to take care of it but cannot find anywhere that deals with repairing this particular finish.
Dave's World of Fun Stuff, thanks. I don’t know if it’s just that, though. When you actually look at where the damage is, there is a certain thickness missing while the mahogany underneath is intact. It seems (to me, at least) that is is actually a finish on top of the wood. As always I enjoy watching you work!
Perhaps a Minwax stain pen since it is a minor repair.
I just got an Ibanez Bass...It's an SR5000. Basically the made in Japan version of this one. It's really nice, but the frets seem tiny to me. I always figured bass frets would be bigger than guitar frets. Not so, at least on these. I have a couple questions, would appreciate if anyone knowledgeable about all things bass could answer.
The dude who sold this to me said he had a new nut put on so he could use flat wound strings. I didn't know that changing to flats or tape wound flats or whatever required a new nut. Is that accurate?
What should the action be at the first fret? I'd like to see how well of a job he did putting the new nut on, and since I'm definitely not going to be using flats...I want to make sure it's set up properly for my own tastes and strings.
Mine has passive pickups but has an active EQ that can be enabled and disabled with a switch. I had an idea -- would it be possible to blend the passive signal with the active signal somehow? I'd wire that mod up for sure if it could be done! I think I could just put in one of those small trim pots on the back to control the blend. And the EQ on / off switch would instead be active only OR active / passive blend. And then if I just wanted to do passive only, I could simply take the batteries out. Or maybe just put another on/off switch on the back to directly control the EQ preamp.
If the new strings are not as fat, you'd have to get a new nut, if the new strings are fatter, you should be able to file the nut to accept the new strings.
First fret action should be just less than a mm(1/16")
www2.ibanez.com/support/help/
"lbanez standard action is set from the top of the fourteenth fret to the bottom of the string"
"2.5-3.0mm"
I prefer a bit more action than Dave typically sets so I don't get fret buzz, I may need fret work to cure that, but I'm fine with where it's at now compared to what it was like before I found Dave's awesome channel.
Blending passive with active is not going to be easy if even possible without a ton of work.
hi Dave do you know the material used for the factory installed nut on sr300e. 2019 model
Boris the Spider?
bcrich581 creepy crawly creepy crawly.....etc...lolol
Oui. Baurice le spiderre effectivement.
I have a lefty. The neck pick up suddenly stopped working, D string only. Wtf
Was that Boris the Spider i heard?
Every sr 500 or 505 I've ever seen used in the store all destroyed around the pickups. Is it just the oil finish or is it people pummeling Ibanez bases like some kinda bass serial killer who only maims
I think it's from being played slap style. The pickups also end up with big string grooves in them.
Seems the slap players really like the Ibanez basses.
My guess is gen-u-ine shark tooth bass picks. Or shaggy fingernails.
Very thin stain. Happens with just finger style playing too.
Animals play these guitars.
Why do they beat the bass? Does it owe us money ? The sound of somebody slapping a bass instrument is simply verboten ,to me.So,you beat the bass,and then you throw it away.Then you buy a new bass and beat that one too.
Really.
I'm playing a "79 Precision and beating it is also verboten to me.This instrument brings too much pleasure to me to beat or slap.
Thanks for bringing this up Dave.Glad you're not a SLAP BASS player too.
Dave when are you gonna start playing requests? Failing that,how about "Name that Tune".
You play a lick on Bass and we try and "Name that Tune".
Keep on "Rockin in the free world" Dave.
And apologies to Neil Young.
hey mate. I've got a stripped truss rod hexagon nut. is there any way I can fix this myself ? there's no music store in my town and sending across state cost too much
Holy shit, Boris The Spider. I love it. Been an Entwistle fan since Happy Jack. I love it.
Dave, do you sell World of Fun teeshirts ?
Hello, how are you? I am writing to you from Bolivia
I have a big problem here in my city there are no people who repair the low circuits
I have a 505 mk1 IBANEZ EQB-3B BASS PREAMP
The problem is that I do not know how to correctly assemble the circuit and all the wiring inside
I saw some circuits on the internet but none worked for me
Please help
Hi Dave. Did you get your issue, tissue saying from Lou Reed, Take No Prisoners double live album? If so, you need to complete the line.
Can u tell me what to upgrade on a grx70 guitar Ibanez a Ibanez gsrm 4string and a gsr 5 string roadster
haven't heard Boris the Spider in a 1000 years!
Mung..... That fret board has mung on it!!!
I keep wanting to stain those worn spots of bare wood. 8)
First u have to remove the coloured layer
Ernie Slack Coballs. LOL
That bass has seen a lot of love or hate depending on what you think.
Ibaniz bass GTR 4th string volume is so low than other,
I make hight of the pick up
But still same problem
Give me suggestions
Either I am clueless (which is possible).. or I have learned incorrectly. I thought you are supposed to loosen the truss rod while the strings are on it??? This way the tension of the strings will pull the neck into position after you loosen it. Does leaving the strings on matter at all in your opinion?
Before you even invest any work, you make sure that the neck isn't warped or the truss rod does in fact get the neck straight at all. If you make big adjustments, you can bend the neck to make it easier for the truss rod, but it should be able to handle basic adjustments no matter if strings are on or not. As said before...check first if there is even a chance for a decent setup.
Sadly, a lot of bass players never adjust anything and play for years like that.
just curious, any recommendations for cleaning up those worn spots on the front of the face of the guitar
None
BORIS THE SPIDER YESSS
Why not mention the specs you're measuring for? Neck relief, string height. My rulers don't have "that's about right or yeah pretty close" on them
how about look it up like I do and learn something..all guitars have specs and you can find them too
Sure, why not look up how to use a truss rod wrench, clean and polish fretboard, tighten a knob, change strings, then you wouldn't have had to make this video at all.
Can bartilini mk1 replaced with other pick up..
What did you use on the fret
Hope it all settles for you bud. Peace.
Peanut butter 'n toast. LOL!!
Tuning 10:25 - 11:11
What's The Model Name Of This Ibanez?
Ernie Ball Cobalts, yea or nay?
Yea.
Yea for loud music. Nay if you're into jazz and flatwounds.
LD Armstrong fuck yea
They cut nicely through the din in hard-rock/metal situations....I like 'em. (I'm always trying to crawl out from underneath the apocalyptic roar of the guitarists I jam with...and I wouldn't have it any other way)
NAY! Cleartones muh dude.
😊
didnt sting use to play one of these?
That was an ibanez musician bass
I think he used an Ibanez at one point, but I remember his white Spector NS
He played one of the first generation Ibanez "bean" basses.
Its possible to get a satin finish back ? Im getting shinny spots
Dave's World of Fun Stuff thanks ill try , wet only with water or something else
I just hate it when the G string is too high! It gets in the way! Some people don't even have a G string! They make more money without it. Its really only good for looks. They are so skinny you hardly know they are there! But where would the world be without G strings? In the interest of all that is good, I guess we'll keep them. You know what I'm talking about, right? Thanxz
💙👊😎
Boris!!!! Creepy crawly.....
Double hand condoms for the cleanup job methinks....
Nope, no hand condoms......
Are you Canadian?
Nevermind! You mentioned Canada later in the video... I could tell from your accent. Hi from Vancouver Island!
Leonardo Lee
Oops should be Leonard Lee
As a headphone user I can confirm, I am upset >:(
xD
how old is that dave?
It's within the last 7 years or so. That's when they added the mini toggle for the mid freq boost/cut.
Fender or musicman reply which is best
idk well it's a Leo Fender design, so
The new Musicman Stingray 4H is a pretty amazing new bass guitar. They say it’s the same guitar as the one they built in 1976 but it has an active 2-way eq circuit that really shines. I haven’t played one myself but I have some friends that have played it and they all rave about it. The only issue is that the street price is like $1699...
Lakland...no question...lol
Depends, we talking Pre-CBS Fender here?
Rick W "pre-cbs corporate sellout" XD
40th!
clean this mess up David or go to your room
Christ what does he pick with? An axe? :)
It's a very thin stain. Doesn't take much.
