Customizing an Ibanez Bass Guitar
ibanez electric bass guitar
There are many ways to customize an Ibanez Bass. These are good quality guitars but come with many parts that could be improved. Most bass guitars that are not the absolute top of the line will come with plastic parts such as pickup rings, truss rod covers, electronics covers, and strap locks. Beyond that, the tuning pegs and bridges of the guitars can often be customized into higher quality and better looking options. Some custom guitar parts can make a world of difference in your bass guitar.
These customizations may not change the sound of your bass like a custom distortion pedal, but they will go a long way in improving its looks and feel. Another way to customize a bass guitar is to upgrade the pickups. There are usually always some better pickups you can get put into your guitar, and many times you can achieve a much different sound that you may be going for. This is one of the biggest guitar customizations you can do as far as changing the sound.
Other than that, switching out the plastic stock parts for some custom guitar parts, maybe some wooden guitar parts is a great idea for a cheap guitar customization that can be done yourself.
Ibanez SR400 Review
The Ibanez SR400 is a bass guitar. It’s not a terribly expensive one, but for a new to moderate player, it can get the job done. It comes with a thin neck, which makes it easier to move your hands while playing. The back has a matte finish on it which helps make it more frictionless, which, in turn, makes your hand slide up and down the neck and fretboard much more smoothly.
This Ibanez’s body has crafted especially well. It’s very smooth, with no pointy or sharp edges to be found. It’s a very comfortable guitar to play, one which allows you to play sitting up or standing down, just as all bass guitars should. For example, if you rest the guitar on your leg, it will stay balanced instead of falling. The strings on this, at least upon purchase, are very loose which makes for good playing. They’re also lifted off the bass fretboard enough so you have very little - of any - buzzing sounds.
Ibanez SR400 bass guitars also come with the P/J configured pickups, the P at the neck and the humbucker at the bridge. Additionally, you have three volume knobs and one tone so you can tweak the sound a decent amount.
