The knobs are placed on a raised section, so it's easy to adjust tone on the fly. The neck is bolted on, and held there with six big screws, as opposed to the measly four like most basses. It's not that powerful and it fades after you break the bass in. Since the bass is made of Luthite, it has a kind of smell to it, like some kind of solvent or gasoline. And the way the pickups look, I don't think you can change them without screwing up the bass. The passive pickups are a lot quieter than other pickups on other basses. I play mostly slap so I'm only popping that note for a few milliseconds. I've read that there is a sustain problem on the D string, 9th fret. It's got a thumb rest molded into the body, and the area under the strings is scooped out for slapping and popping. The bass is also quite a nice looking bass. I wish they would make a neck through bass, I mean, Luthite is supposed to be easier to make basses out of, because you can mold them. I like the color, but I don't think Ibanez makes too many of these basses like mine. The sound is great too, no matter what you're playing through. I also like the two octave range on the fretboard. I really like the onboard eq, and the blend knob (for selecting pickups). It was kind of a cranberry color which I had never seen on the site, so I was pleased with my find. I'd been on the Ibanez website looking around and I never thought I would ever own a bass like that. I bought the Ergodyne because it was such a good deal.

because at the time I was playing out of a weak little practice amp, using a P-bass copy.

It was one of the easiest playing basses in the shop. It was used so I got it for around $350-400 it had a scratch on the neck near the twelfth fret. I had saved my money with the intention to by a five string, but after trying the Ergodyne I fell in love. I bought my bass at the local music shop after bussing tables at a crummy pizza joint all summer long. this is not the worst bass ive played so i cant give it a 1, but still, this bass sucks. my advise is to buy a bass originally designed by leo fender, carl thompson, or waller and you cant go wrong. still, none of this compĭoes not even come close to comparing with a fender, musicman, or wal. the neck has 6 bolts which is a goodthing i think, maybe one of the only good things besides the color which is a black pearl color. The construction of this bass is suposed to fit your body with the carved out back and the 2 cutaways that look like dildo's. i dont know if i got a fucked up bass with problems straight from the factory or what, but this bass SUCKS! anyway this is such a stupid design in my opinion and both of these knobs, or should i say all four have broken multiple times. there are 2 knobs on this bass which are stacked so really you have 4 knobs so you can dial into certain hard to find tones more easily or something. the worst part is that i use this bass the least out of my collection and its mostly in the case. it might be the luthite or whatever its made out of, but i have to get it all set up about every 6 months or else it starts buzzing all over the neck to the point where its not even playable. it stays in tune but the neck in more flexable than a rubberband. i have put more money into this bass than it is even remotely worth to me. ive had the get the intonation, action, and ESPECIALLY the truss set up more times than i can remember. I really dont like anything about this bass except for the color. It was a gift bought for me from guitar center for $630 brand new i think. It really is an amazing bass which has made me look at construction completely differently. If anyone is in the market for a new bass, you really should do yourself a favor and check this one out. It's balanced perfectly, light, is the perfect length and demands attention. It is a molded piece, not carved, so it's very unique. I have to tune it less than I've ever had to with my others, and everything is very very solid. There is not one thing I dislike about this bass. It looks as though I bought it yesterday. I have had no issues with scratching, denting, or anything of the sort. Aesthetically, it's simply gorgeous and is very rugged. It is also the best sounding bass I've owned, and I've gone through 6 trying to find this gem. It has the most amazing feel, it is completely sculpted to fit your body, and scooped out in the front so you can get under the strings very easily.

It is THE most amazing bass I've ever played. I traded in a 5 string Ibanez Soundgear, and a Peavy 100W amp and paid about 100. I bought this bass at Guitar Center In Peabody Massachusetts. I mostly like metal, but I'm good with anything. I have played in a few bands, recorded a demo, and have played many live shows all over the Boston area. I have been playing bass since I was 15 and am now 30.
