There was two series EDA & EDB or more?

Thank you

P.S. Just want get some 5 string bass for home recording

cort 5-string cheap and works well.

[yevetz]

it has luthite body?

I don't remember much about them. I think those are the only two luthite basses Ibanez made though. My friend has an EDA 5 string with a piezo. I think it sounds really good, actually. The combined magnetic pickup + Piezo bass sound works really well, says I. The only bad part is they have a perpetual chemical smell.

haha

I will use air freshener

EDIT: Ithink EDA 905 will be my choice

I think there were three: EDA, EDB, and, obviously, EDC. Year of manufacture is something to consider, as the current EDB series appears to be made of basswood/maple/ash depending on the model (probably meaningless if you want an EDA905).

The EDA looks the funkiest; I think it was patterned after the Affirma series.

The Cort Curbow has a luthite body (and an ebonol fretboard).

Drew has an EDA905 I believe. And I've jammed with a bassist who had one and it sounded and looked great.

All of that is correct - you know your stuff dude!

The EDA series also came with piezos and the EDB series went through a brief redesign incorporating Ibanez's triple-coil humbucker to replace the old pair of soapbars.

The Cort Curbow is an INCREDIBLE bass for the price. Composite body, ebanol fingerboard, wicked EQ and pickups, and great upper fret access. Available as a fretless as well as in a 5 string model.

eleven59 is also right - Drew owns a 905, so you could ask him about that.

Just out of interest, why are you so set on the luthite body?

[Drew]

Yeah, I own an EDA-905, though I'm in the process of getting rid of it (sorry, it's already spoken for).

It's a nice bass, especially for the money they were closed out at. It's relatively even-toned, and the sustain is quite good - almost too good, at times, where you have to pay attention to your muting so other strings don't resonate sympathetically. It also looks badass, which is of course important.

My biggest problems were I never really found myself wanting to use the peizo (it sounded more natural without it, i thought), and the preamp was odd - it was a master volume and treble/bass boost one way, mid boost the other tone control with a center indent for the mags, and the same for the peizo. I'd have been happier with either an active bass and treble control shared between the two, or two passive tone controls.

Still, a cool bass. But I'm with Stitch, why luthite?

Coz I can take wood bass of my bassist and the luthite no. More it's has a piezo and my bassist have no bass with piezo. Anyway I will make him buy this bass

Coz I was hear it and I like it. It's have a very smooth sound when you play short notes (stocatto)

Drew please tell me what that 4 knobs do?

from closer to neck till closer to bridge.

Thank you

BTW you can hear here how this plays with stocatto notes (chose Judgement Day song)
