I own a Ibanez 5 string with the same pickups and controls- I think it's a 750 or something very similar to this. I bought it because I am a guitarist (first) and needed to play bass for a band and needed something a little more familiar - feeling too clumsy and restrained on a typical fender p bass. Also your accent rocks just keep talking and saying useful stuff. I don't think it's easy to slap on this bass than a p bass but if your technique is good of course you can do that too! It also has a balance to it sitting on your shoulder- my p bass always felt too heavy at the headstock - this one sits balanced and not too heavy.
Well reviewed...I have this bass in the blue burst..the neck is a 5 piece Jotoba & Walnut with Rosewood fretboard,Abalone inlays... great bass's even when played passively & still have a pan pot, volume & passive tone control...the Nordstrand pickups are really good & no noise with a quiet pre-amp...i play it active or passive depending on if i have remembered to take a fresh battery...duh! sounds really good with a pick for Rock, Punk etc a very versatile bass, well made with great pickups, it is a good bass for recording
Tell me, is this tool lightweight? Is it comfortable for you to play it with your left hand: is it a comfortable neck? Is there a difference in sound volume when switching from active to passive mode? And I’m also concerned: how to care for the body and neck - after all, the surface is not protected by varnish? I would be grateful for your answers to questions and instructions on how to care for the instrument!!!
@@kotanel .....they are pretty light bass's, 8lb - 9lb, very comfortable to play with a slim countoured body & a beautiful 5 piece slim neck..Jazz width nut, 38.1mm....it can go louder in active mode but the pickups are good quality Nordstrand passive pickups with 3 band eq, 3 position mid, pan pot & volume in active mode....passively it sounds good, should be loud enough live played passively...i wipe the neck & body with a warm moist new clean cotton cloth after playing & dry with a cotton towel....
I totally agree with you this basses are amazing especially for the price I can se myself using it in a live set up and even in my every day studio work like right now 👌 Did you bought this exact model?
@@mickavoidant4780 The tone is on point man even if i am not a fan of punk rock. Man shake yourself a bit on stage it will improve your tone by 1000% you got the tone right for singing this stuff !!! it was the first time after all the covid crap that happended?
Nice review... Very beautiful bass.. it's in my bucket list. Currently i have the ibanez GSR 5 string. Those budget basses. Also, you speak good fluent English and it was quite engaging to hear you play and review. 👍🏻
Super cool vid. Your slap bass technique is incredible. I just picked up the sgr 600e 4 string and a luthier got ahold of it and did an amazing job. I like to tune super low. And its fretting out on the first fret. dumb question but i should be able to cure that from the the bridge without sacrificing ibanez legendary fretboard action. Correct?
Man I have the hands of 8year old boy ahahah don't worry ahaha or maybe you are a beginner 'cause after 16 year of playing my left hand got able to do wider stretches and got a little bit bigger than my right one
Hi Gianluca, I'm really thinking of buying the Ibanez SR600E. So thank you so much for the review! What are the main reasons for you to buy it? There are so many other manufactures such as Fender, Yamaha etc. Is it just the design or are there any other reasons? Thanks and have a great day. Greetings from germany Alex
Thanks man ! I bought it just because at the time I needed a bass for the studio where I need all sorts of sounds. Unfortunately I love the sounds of a JBass or a P bass but they doesn't fit in my hands so I ended up buying this because it was really comfortable and versatile . But funny enough I never use it on my official releases ahah
hearing you speak english isn't annoying at all man! it's an amazing effort unlike some lazy americans! great review! I actually have my eye on one of these.... so this helps!
Bel bassetto, rappresenta la fascia top degli SR Standard ed è davvero ben fatto in relazione a quanto costa! Personalmente, da soddisfatto possessore del genitore Prestige SR5000OL, consiglio sempre gli Ibanez, che in ogni fascia di prezzo hanno sempre il loro perché!
@@GianlucaPavanMusician Credi che io ho sempre adorato la tastiera in acero con i blocks in madreperla, peccato che ogni strumento provato con quella caratteristica non rientrasse nei miei gusti a livello di suono, quindi dovrò rimandare questo sogno a quando e se mi farò fare un basso custom 😂
Great review, I'm looking at buying this bass and this was helpful. I love the little bit of rumble it has, especially with the pick - I think it's called growl or snarl but I'm not sure lol. Are you running this through a simulated amp or FX or anything or just recording it straight? Sorry if that question doesn't make sense, I'm new to bass. Just trying to figure out if that growl is from the bass or the way it's processed. Thanks!
Thanks man no problem !! For the specifications demo I'm going straight into the interface and then for the tones examples I'm running it trough my Headrush FX pedalboard and I'm using some ampeg simulation and all sorts of pedals and FX. Good choice btw And lastly I will suggest you to use it as clean as possible if you are a beginner and then with a pedalboard or some plugin try to find your sounds!
@@GianlucaPavanMusician hey I really appreciate that, I can't think of any specific questions right now but I am open to absorbing any information I can at this point. If you feel inspired to make a video on tone/sound that would be great but don't do it just for me haha. I subscribed so I will be watching your vids anyways. Thanks!
@@Spergen to be honest I make this video to force myself into experimenting more in sounds and music boundaries!!Thanks for the sub it will be worth it !!
You know what's the difference between this model and the SR1300SB? Sure they have different woods but the electronics are the same so I don't get how they have a 500€ price difference
Thank you, amazing playing! I have a question, the SR600 NTF has no active/passive switch, but the pickups are passive, does this mean it's only passive and the battery might be a problem, or would you be able to play it even passively when the battery dies ? Thank you
@@GianlucaPavanMusician oh cool!! then I'm buying that stuff 😂 I've got sr655, and looking for a 4-string bass for drop c tuning, the decisions is made now!

I don't think hearing your English is annoying at all. You speak very well! Also fantastic demo. I've been considering one of these.
Thanks for the kind words man ✌️
Are you going to buying a 4 or a 5?

Exactly, nice review thanks and how many brits can speak Italian as well as you can speak English?
You talk better English then my grandfather and he was in America for 50 years
Ahahah thanks man
Thank you so much for the review! I’m considering picking one up soon and this was very helpful!
Thanks man you won't regret it !!
What are you going to use it for ?
@Julian Grønborg not that much even a little lower for what I needed to be honest
I need a higher action because I play mainly with a pick
Well reviewed...I have this bass in the blue burst..the neck is a 5 piece Jotoba & Walnut with Rosewood fretboard,Abalone inlays... great bass's even when played passively & still have a pan pot, volume & passive tone control...the Nordstrand pickups are really good & no noise with a quiet pre-amp...i play it active or passive depending on if i have remembered to take a fresh battery...duh!

I bought one in July, after playing bass for 30 years, and play it through a BB-1X Bass Driver. They are lovely to play and look at.

@@GianlucaPavanMusician Even the bottom end SRR300E is worthy. Yes, I have the SR600E Antique Stain. I can show you it at a gig, if you want.
@@mickavoidant4780 I didn't try the 300 but I will ...and of course man show me 👌

Nice review... Very beautiful bass.. it's in my bucket list.
Currently i have the ibanez GSR 5 string. Those budget basses.
Also, you speak good fluent English and it was quite engaging to hear you play and review. 👍🏻
Thanks buddy if you can check it out in real life but what type of bass do you need?
Very informative review.👍 How much it weights? Does it have neck dive when u playing stand up with strap?
Super cool vid. Your slap bass technique is incredible. I just picked up the sgr 600e 4 string and a luthier got ahold of it and did an amazing job. I like to tune super low. And its fretting out on the first fret. dumb question but i should be able to cure that from the the bridge without sacrificing ibanez legendary fretboard action. Correct?
Hey Gianluca. Love the review. My hands are on the smaller side. You think this bass is forgiving for a little fingered boy like myself?
Man I have the hands of 8year old boy ahahah don't worry ahaha or maybe you are a beginner 'cause after 16 year of playing my left hand got able to do wider stretches and got a little bit bigger than my right one

The 5 is amazing!!thanks man !
I regret selling it
nice review, nice Let's Dance :)

That's an Awesome bass
I ordered two tools to choose and buy one of them: sr500e and sr600e. Now I’m puzzled by choosing which one is better?))) Help me decide!
Both ahaha
Or none of them)))@@GianlucaPavanMusician
Your Italian accent Rule`s Brother .
Thanks my man 😊
You know what's the difference between this model and the SR1300SB? Sure they have different woods but the electronics are the same so I don't get how they have a 500€ price difference
I think the manufacturing but I really don't know
Probably they are in made Japan
Thank you, amazing playing!
I have a question, the SR600 NTF has no active/passive switch, but the pickups are passive, does this mean it's only passive and the battery might be a problem, or would you be able to play it even passively when the battery dies ?
Thank you
I'm not sure but I think that they won't work if the battery is dead ...sorry for not being super accurate
You can play it passive with a dead battery. You can take the battery out and use switch as a mute if you want
@@CNick75 thanks man !! Cool you can do the morello trick on bass !!
Hey mate! Great review! What do you think, could this bass tone handle drop c tuning?
Thanks!!
Totally I use that tune as my main one !

@@GianlucaPavanMusician amazing! Thanks again 🙏
OK, Now lets hear the bass without the junkboxes..
The junkboxes

Les vrais savent... Nous sachons... ;)
If you're a bass player buy this bass, if you're a guitarist play guitar.
I don't see anything wrong in this comment .
That Gianluca up there is such a dumb dude I know
Or play both
@@thedogwoods5716 that's what she said ahahah
You didn’t even have to do a bass review.. Just the moustache combined with some annoying Italiïsh would have been well worth watching this video!😘
Glad you like that ahaha What a weird taste ahaha
