Nov 14, 2014 · I played an Ibanez sr900 for seven years and although it sounded great, I couldn't get any sort of growl out of the thing. It was just to clean a tone. I Sold it for a Squier Jaguar p/j bass, and I get great tones from it. I'd recommend the Squier jaguar short scale. A lot of fun, easy to play, and sounds decent. All for under $200 brand new.

Aug 8, 2022 · One wonders why guitar importers don't specify basic cleaning and waxing should be done before shipping. It makes an inexpensive instrument appear to be more one of a higher price point. In playing the AEGB this morning, it became apparent to me that medium scale (32") is perfect for my left hand reach.

Jan 5, 2015 · Hi! I've got an Ibanez SR905 (2004 Made in Korea), and today one of the tuners broke (the metal gave up, the peg separated from the tuning machine, it died, kaput!). I'm looking to get a quick and low price replacement. I will probably look for something better in the long run, probably change...

I’ve seen these panned a bit on TB with recommendations to “get the SR300” but this one seems to have soaked up some mojo.
