bass talk: iceman cometh!


review ini hasil nukilan seorang rookie bassist yg terlampau (yg xbrapa pandai main gitar/bass)

the latest addition in my arsenal... awal disember lps aku dah letgo bass crows aku, then dgn dana2 tmbhn aku upgrade dari GIO-soundgear series kpd iceman series plak stlh puas hati dgn pilihan survey... aku pilih ibanez iceman bass ICB200EX (ibanez lg... agaknya aku dah ngam dgn ibanez kot?)

kali ni aku order dgn calvin from dead eye guitars, satchman enterprise xde stok axe yg shape pelik2... this stock was taken from that country in the south. sbb kat bentley mmg model ni dah obsolete, yg ada pun maybe model ICB300EX yg harganya over RM2k (comes with hardcase)

yup, the gigbag was inclusive with this model... so xpyh tekial2 cari gigbag sbb mmg susah mau cari gigbag utk shape iceman ni (hardcase?)

resit, business card dan d'addario string set (ni string gitar bkn string bass). mula2 aku suruh belikan string ni sbb ada byk balance drp pembelian bass ni (sbb nak restring blk mephisto aku incase xjd nak letgo)... last2 calvin bg set string ni free - hadiah krismas katanya (hohoho!) balance yg lain kira tmbh kpd deposit yg sedia ada utk dean VMNTx ;)

d'addario XL nickel wound super light gauge (.009-.042) klu ikutkan price tag harganya RM21.50 mggu lps aku survey string ni kat zoso music RM29 (plng2 kurg pun RM27 je) but this one i got free! (hohoho!) thanks calvin... btw, ramai yg rekomen aku guna brand d'addario, tp aku xkisah pun apa2 brand string (d'addario, elixir, GHS, ernie ball, dunlop, dll) asalkan harganya berpatutan, sbb aku pun masih rookie dlm dunia kegitaran ni... blm ada lg favourite brand for accesories... so far, aku guna produk2 drp dunlop dan planet waves (chemicals, straps, picks)

ibanez iceman bass ICB200EX

"The Iceman has long been one of the more adventurous body styles from Ibanez. In the bass world, it means a massive piece of mahogany and high powered pickups to create tones that are absolutely earth shattering"

- artikel drp website ibanez

meet the iceman (spesifikasi)

  • model: iceman bass
  • model code: ICB200EX
  • made in: blkg headstock tulis made in china, tp ikut serial no. made in indonesia
  • serial no: J080757607 (sae jung plant, indonesia, july 2008, production number: 57607)

utk spesifikasi lbh lanjut bleh check website ibanez (model ICB200EX dan ICB250EX spesifikasinya sama, cuma beza body artwork/decal shj) atau review kat ultimate-guitar (model lama ICB200)

kedudukan strap button yg agak ganjil... waktu test pakai strap mmg aku blm biasa dgn kedudukan strap button mcm ni, rasa xseimbang. button jenis mcm ni kena pasang straplock as a precaution... xblh lawan strap button mephisto aku yg tegap xpyh pasang straplock mmg susah strap nak tecabut (dan susah jugak nak pasang hahaha)

bateri 9V ni bknla utk pickup... sbb pickup bass ni passive. ekceli ia digunakan utk pre-amp PHAT II active bass boost "easily adds extra low-end power" - hah! mmg btl statement ni! mcm mau pecah speaker RQ-K12 waktu aku test full boost. wtf? bateri brand apa ni colorful? (lps ni aku kena stok bateri 9V cap ayam beli kat super-save)

bridge B10 yg sama mcm bridge crows aku dulu, so xjanggal la tgn waktu menggentel... tombol2 (knobs) yg agak kukuh berbanding GIO series (duh~). dari atas ke bwh - volume, balancer, PHAT II boost

headstock trademark ibanez... sama design dgn headstock utk siri2 gitar RG, RGA, GRG, GRX, X, FR, S, SV, SA dan GSA

tragedi headstock! - xnak aku cerita...

dlm manual dan info dari website ibanez, iceman basses come with elixir strings... aku xtau btl ke x, camna nak check string ni elixir? (oriaj - tolong explain, sbb kau kan suka elixir)

sound? waktu mula2 dpt mmg calvin sengaja longgarkan string supaya selamat waktu shipment. smpi2 kat rmh aku tune blk... mmg susah nak tune, check2 blk wtf? neck nmpk bengkok ke dpn, kena adjust trust rod bg tight sket, barula senang nak tune

oh lupa, sound... aku test direct kat RQ-K12 tanpa sbrg efek. yup soundnya lebih dlm berbanding crows dan klu pulas full tombol PHAT II boost mmg rasa nak pecah speaker. guna balancer - bridge pickup bunyinya lebih treble sesuai utk slap style (mcmla aku pndi style slap ni, sakit jari dan kuku dibuatnya), neck pickup bunyinya agak dlm dan smooth sesuai utk gentelan jari. levelkan dua2nya tgh2 sesuai utk guna pick... but that PHAT II boost was a nightmare! muahahaha... earth shattering speaker shatterer!

spt biasa aku akan bg nickname utk gitar/bass aku... utk iceman bass ni aku bg nick BLACK ICE, sbb ia merupakan iceman series (shape) dan berwarna hitam... dan jugak as a tribute to AC/DC latest album black ice (satu2nya album AC/DC yg aku ada dan enjoy dgr). next, nak try soundcheck dgn zoom B2 plak, but that was another story...

to be continued...

ironbird aku guna elixir string .... rasanya pernah aku review pada pertengahan bulan lalu.... mmg aku suka sgt ngan string ni walaupun harganya mmg agak mahal... dari mula pasang hingga sekarang au tak pernah polish string tu (aku tengah buat experiment) dari bulan april 2009 hingga ke hari ni aku tengok zero karat dan sustainnya masih lagi maintain.... aku tak tau la kalau drg masukkan string elixir yang nanoweb or polyweb ker tidak ngan gitar ngko tu... mahal tu huhuhuhuhu... kalau nanoweb tu masa pegang tali dia yang fresh hehehehe ada rasa macam sedikit berminyak (licin) berbeza ngan tali biasa.. itu apa yang aku rasa la mana mula2 tukar tali elixir....

kalau ko tak rasa ni mungin drg bubuh elixir yang biasa biasa jak kot....tapi elixir ni kesimpulannya saya mesti pilley.....

berbini baru? bini lama pun aku tadak... hahaha

oriaj:
stringnya mcm ada lapisan selaput nipis plastik/getah, tp rasa kasar2 string... lps bubuh fastfret sedap la sket

tp jai, bass ni ada masalah ergonomik... xselesa main berdiri dan berat drp GIO, sakit bahu klu main berdiri lbh dari sejam. tp bunyi mmg power! klu guna amp besar aku bg 11/10! klu amp 10-15w 6/10 saja...
