      These aren't mutually exclusive.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

I am not unsympathetic to the situation of the guitar companies and the factories, but there has to be some balance. If we're expected to let them do whatever they want in regards to building and marketing guitars, maybe we should know a little more about those things. That they're doing.

                    Bad guitars can be exciting, too.

                    Seems everyone got so excited about wood that the dowel placed inside the strap button hasn't been scrutinized which to me is the biggest point of interest about that cheapo Ibby. Harder to unscrew or tighten than a pentalobe, wtf you gotta be trollin!?

                        OP here: It's a piece of cardboard from the box in which it came. It's lodged firmly in there. Tells you how hard that box hit the ground. There was styrofoam and a bunch of junk for padding, but not near the strap button obviously.

                          Ouch!

                          Still, the bass guitar is a cheapo where all the value was put into making it playable. They used to be made by Cortek under contract so Ibanez didn't even see see it. Still, they typically play well out of the box and excellent after a fret level but I would not recommend this type of a guitar when looking for exquisite woood.

                          There's wood for cheap mass produced guitars and then there's wood for people who appreciate it. These two sets of buyers typically have few in common. Still among inexpensive guitars, some have a lot of character and are inspiring, can't argue with that. I recommend that you just set up the guitar for best tone and playability and simply enjoy it. The sheer fact of spec discrepancies means that you can sometimes get an unexpectedly perfect piece and/or a combo of super nice selection. When that happens, unicorns squirt rainbows and all sorts of voodoo takes place.

                          Yeah no offence Goober, just pulling your leg

                            As you say, perhaps outsourced to Cortek. Sounds pretty good after adjusting the pups, and it plays great too.

                              Exquisite wood?
                              its an SR300


                              he's just fussing bout his bottom feeder bass isn't Cork enough to sniff

                              really I like the SR series and have had several of the 300

                              had a 250 once, beautiful finish on it,
                              but the fretboard edges weren't rounded and it seemed the neck was wider
                              just seemed like it got yanked off the assembly line early, you know

                              they play good and sound good
                              ergonomically nice
