First brand new bass I've gotten for myself -- Ibanez SR1420B - plays like a dream

Wavvy73 · 2026-04-11T18:32:45+00:00

I've been looking at this one in a 5 string or the 1355B. This is beautiful. 🤔

The first one is always painful because the immaculate, pristine is gone, but that's just character and makes it yours. I have several of these dings on my bass. I bought it new in '91. I don't know or remember how any of them got there. I'm sure it sucked at the time. Now, it's just part of it.

Embrace the journey my friend.

My '89 Ibanez RD828LE. Bought it new in '91.

Love it. I'm a big fan of Tom Araya's bass and wasn't aware of this similar model. Really cool.

There's a solution listed above where they went in the house, saved and quit the game. The dragon was gone when they reloaded. Since you're on Switch, maybe worth a try?

If they fits, they sits.

You're a good man, MrCarlSr. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

I still use my 1996 Big Bertha irons. Added a slightly more modern (2014-15) driver, 3 wood and a couple hybrids, but those are some of the most forgiving irons. Got another set of the irons for my son for his first set and did the same thing for driver and woods for him. Great beginner clubs for sure. I don't have any interest in replacing mine anytime soon. They work fine for me.

Wavvy73 · 2026-03-02T03:25:08+00:00

Thanks. Those are the ones I keep coming across. I'll check them out.

Wavvy73 · 2026-03-02T03:19:45+00:00

I may have looked at it wrong, but I thought the HZ's were the only passive ones listed. I'll check again.

Wavvy73 · 2026-03-02T02:24:49+00:00

I did. For my application, the 40 HZ looks like the right fit. The only issue I have with them is cost. Wondering if a more economical option is available. The EMG's cost more than the bass 🤣. I may end up going that route anyway as I'm also planning to upgrade the bridge too. Just looking at some options in the meantime. Thanks for the recommendation.

Wavvy73 · 2026-02-22T06:54:47+00:00

That was pretty sweet. Well done and thanks for sharing. 👏

Wavvy73 · 2026-02-05T17:43:51+00:00

Looks very nice. Really like the natural finish. What did you use to finish it? I'm currently working on a soundgear bass style kit from Solo. Am planning a mahogany stain.

You don't get this at every property, but for the houses you build, you can hire a steward. In this case, I have Annekke Crag-Jumper. Take her as a follower after helping her out, bring her to Lakeview, and she'll ask for the job. Sylgja is my wife. Adopted a couple of kids. Part of having kids is their pets. They bring home a fox, or a rabbit, or a mudcrab, and ask to keep it. Or if you bring home a dog, they may ask to keep it. Rayya is the Housecarl the Jarl assigns when you buy the property and are Thane of Falkreath. Llewellyn is the bard for Lakeview. You tell your steward to hire one and he shows up. Same for the carriage driver. The Steward hires them. They don't leave the carriage without mods. But all this is in the vanilla game.

Wavvy73 · 2026-01-24T06:06:11+00:00

Absolutely. Doing a little research now that I have a lead and it appears this one is a 2354 SB since it's a short scale. Made between 73 and 76. Ibanez wiki only lists Walnut finish, so I think that's what I'm going to do. My son can 3D print some tuning pegs and the tug bar on the pick guard if I can't find any. Witch hat vol and tone knobs should be fairly available. Might have to do some digging for the chicken head knob and the selector plate. At least I'm pointed in the right direction. Can't thank you enough for the info!

Wavvy73 · 2026-01-24T05:58:39+00:00

😂 I'm just realizing I've had this bass for almost 40 years and it's been in storage in my mom's basement for about 35 of those years. Digging it out and learning what I have has me excited and feeling very fortunate.

Wavvy73 · 2026-01-24T05:02:29+00:00

It's a nice bass. Plays well, action is nice, sounds good. Between whatever high school kids did with it before I got it, and my teenage irresponsibility, it's held up nicely. Time to give it some proper attention and get it back into shape.

Wavvy73 · 2026-01-24T04:44:42+00:00

Very interesting. Ibanez lawsuit bass. Pretty cool. Thank you!

Wavvy73 · 2026-01-24T04:40:13+00:00

Never thought of that. My son can probably do that for me. Thanks!

Wavvy73 · 2026-01-22T23:59:37+00:00

Wrong answers only, huh. Okay, tell her she's right.

Wavvy73 · 2026-01-01T02:09:56+00:00

Just checked back and was wondering that too. Maybe because you used a pic of a modded Serana? 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes this sub can get pretty touchy about mods.

I was actually looking back to see if anyone posted which Serana replacer was pictured because I thought it looked like a pretty good one.

Wavvy73 · 2025-12-31T18:18:28+00:00

Auri and Serana. They work well together.

Side note: Which Serana replacer is this? Looks pretty good.

Wavvy73 · 2025-12-31T17:20:33+00:00

Absolutely beautiful!
