Ibanez SR400 Bass Guitar


The Ibanez SR400 bass guitar is very comfortableto play. The neck is thin up at the headstock, youcan move your hand along it well because of thenecks finish. The SR400's neck at the back hasa matte finish making it very easy to slide your hands up and down the neck. Its easier to playthe higher frets because the neck is a bolt-onwith a curve where the neck bolts.

The body of the Ibanez SR400 is contoured verywell. There are no sharp edges anywhere. Youcan play the SR400 standing up or sitting comfortably.If you are sitting down and put the bass on your rightthigh, it will stay balanced and not lean one wayor another.

The SR400 bass guitar is very playable becausethe strings are loose. You won't have to play withmuch force to get a sound, and it won't wear yourfingers out so much.

The pickups of the SR400 Ibanez are in "P/J"configuration. There is a split "P" pickup at theneck position and a single humbrucker at thebridge. For each pickups volumn there are threeknobs and one for tone.

The Ibanez SR400 bass guitar stays in tune verywell. The tuners at the head are 2 on each side,and they are Gotoh tuners. The tuners are notto tight or loose, but they are light enough to keepthe strings in tune.

The SR400 bass is good for an intermediate guitarist,and the best thing about it is its neck is so smooth,playable, and thin.

Home Run Gigs
Are you still playing your heart out to small audiences on gigs at unappreciative dives (excuse me, I meant to say nightclubs) that feel paying you a couple of hundred dollars for a 3-4 hour gig is also paying you about $150 too much?Unless you are a masochist, why do you continue to take such beatings? Is it due to laziness, complacency, cynicism, your now being jaded, or a combination of any of the above?Are you aware that you could dramatically improve your live performance income by making simple changes in the types of performances that you accept?For instance, see the below list of gig types and the average earnings possible, compared to traditional nightclub work:* Weddings ($1,000 *minimum* for 2-3 hours work)Instead of working yourself to death, so to speak, by chasing wedding performance opportunities on an individual basis, consider approaching a number of area caterers and offering your services to them as an add-on to their own services as, obviously, they will have significantly more client opportunities.Not only will your music service now give catering companies more value, as the client can now also purchase the wedding entertainment through a single source as opposed to contracting performers separately, but this single joint venture alone will dramatically increase your income, and on a more consistent basis.
