Amazing quality handmade bass
Amazing bass guitar with amazing sound of a classic Jazz Bass. Main drawback is the neck dive. I don't know if the Modern Virtuoso series has a similar problem, but the Original does. The neck is very thin and very comfortable, very similar to the Ibanez SR neck. The strings are very low and very comfortable to play. The bass guitar comes with a branded case and it is the best case I have ever had.

Excellent headphones for listening to music
The headphones are ideal for listening to pop music and good for jazz. Metal sounds fine. The headphones sound better with an amplifier, but work quite well when connected directly to my laptop. I bought a FiiO amp, but found that these headphones sound just as good when connected to my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. A significant drawback is the fact that hair often gets wrapped around the screws on these headphones. If you have long hair, it's better to choose something else, otherwise they will pull out all your hair.😅

Good guitar for the price of a great guitar
A guy I know gave me this guitar. He bought it for about $250 at the time. The quality didn't surprise me. It's a typical budget Ibanez guitar. The neck is comfortable. Now in my country this guitar costs more than 1000 dollars for used and it's crazy. I can find Ibanez Prestige for 1000$ and I'll get a much better guitar than rg550.

Great guitar for $900
The first thing to know about this guitar is that it is very comfortable. The thin neck of the Wizzard III is a real pleasure to play. The Ibanez MTM20 features a fake locked floyd rose, which provides a stable tuning and extra comfort for the right hand. But despite the fact that this guitar is positioned as a guitar for heavy music, its sound is quite soft and open. The mid frequencies are at a minimum. But there are many low frequencies. I don't like these pickups at all. Overall, I would recommend checking out other Ibanez guitars. Ibanez can offer much better guitars for the same money. A great replacement for this guitar would be the Ibanez RGIB21BK. This guitar is much better suited for low tuning due to its longer scale length.

Good sounding but very problematic bass
The bass is very beautiful and sounds incredibly beautiful but... the neck of the Ibanez SR1206 is much heavier than the body and constantly falls down. I have to prop the bass up against the wall to play comfortably. The switches break all the time. And it's not just my problem. It's hard to find this model with the original switches on the secondary market because they break on everyone. Gotoh tuning machines have their own problems. The thing is that there is a small rubber washer inside the tuning machine. And it is prone to destruction. This happened to my bass guitar. The peg does not work without the rubber washer. On the plus side, you can achieve absolutely any sound thanks to the excellent preamp. This bass has a nice crunchy sound. Thanks to flexible settings, you can make its sound soft or very angry. When overdriven, this bass guitar literally growls. Despite all the advantages, I am forced to part with this guitar in the near future and replace it with something else.
