IBANEZ Standard SRMD200-SBM Mezzo Sapphire Blue Metallic
Medium-scale electric bass with 32" scale length, Ibanez Dynamix P and Dynamix J pickups and active 2-band EQ
The Ibanez Standard SRMD200-SBM Mezzo Sapphire Blue Metallic is a medium-scale electric bass with great playability and a distinctive sound. Given the 32" scale length, Ibanez uses a lightweight poplar body in the usual ergonomic Soundgear design and a bolt-on maple neck whose slim profile allows for comfortable playing over the entire maple fingerboard. The PJ pickup setup of Ibanez Dynamix P and Dynamix J pickups, along with the active 2-band EQ, provides a versatile sound spectrum that has the right grooves for almost any style of music. Last but not least, the Ibanez Standard SRMD200-SBM Mezzo Sapphire Blue Metallic features an Ibanez B10 bass bridge and precise die-cast tuners.
The Ibanez Standard SRMD200-SBM Mezzo Sapphire Blue Metallic convinces with its 32" scale length.

Fantastic service even though we are in lock down. Ordered on Saturday over a bank holiday and it arrived on Thursday. Looking forward for lock down to end so I can visit the shop in Romford

While I'm not a fan of P/J set ups, this was the only medium scale bass I could find in the price range. i find short scale ( 30 inches) too short.
The preamp is fine and very usable.
Fretwork was perfect with no sharp ends protruding. The colour is more muted than the photos suggest, but it is still atrractive. No flaws in the finish at all.
In terms of sound, the Precision type pickup is not something i like and I have seen some comments that this with an active preamp seems to be neither fish nor flesh, with the trend being towards passive basses. The rear pickup I use with the bass boosted on the preamp. I plan to install a MM style humbucker there.
It's light, at 3.4kg, 7lb 7oz.

Outsanding Guitar! Even more so condisering the price.
I have been a Fender player most my life but felt like a change and didn't want to spend to much money. So i opted for the Ibanez SRMD200. To my surprise it has now become my go to bass for 90% of my gigs. Such a pleasure to play and what a sound. Lovely tight lows and punchy mids make this such a versatile bass to play. The neck makes my Precision feel really slow and heavy. Shocked is an understatement.
