Just what I need...ANOTHER ride!

It was a 5-string a customer ordered a few years ago and couldn't pay for that Mike'd been using as a loaner whenever someone had a bass in at his shop for work . Off memory, mahogany body, maple top, 35" scale, and a 'bucker in the bridge and a Yamaha split pickup in the neck wiith a Bartolini pre, I think. Full dirt after I pick the thing up and take a few photos.

Damn that's awesome

Sounds like time for a Drew picstory as well as a Kevan 'Where the hell did I put another guitar hanger' story

stubhead · 11-28-2007, 12:48 PM

What's that Ibanez CALLED? I'm afraid this old dino is still best at telling the difference between Precision & jazz basses....

You guys are right...I'm running out of hanger space.

As of right now, the EDA is parked next to the fretless on the far right side of the wall. The guitars in stands on the floor are:
- EB/MM JPM6
- RG-565
- Ferrington
- MIC Strat
- RG-550 (Euphor's guitar)
- Jackson Dinky
- AllParts Custom

I think I need to find another wall.

I am going to do a new "buried alive" pic though!

You guys can fully rip on me for the delay of Drew's album. I'm ready for ya. LOL

Ken: Let me think about thatno.

While I appreciate the compliment Drew, I'm certainly not the King Of All Things Piezo.
Maybe the DE systems, but that's about it.

Stubhead: the model is the Ibanez Ergodyne EDA-905.
They also made a 904 (4-string version).

If i ever find one of the wood versions, the AFR A105 or A305, i will bludgeon to death anyone who stands in my way to buy it.

I remember seeing those silver ones all over Guitar Center when they first came out but I never got around to picking one up. Is it as comfortable to sit down and play as it is standing up? I know that series was designed for ergonomics but the long upper horn always had me curious.

Nice score Kevan!

Was that a Japanese Market-only guitar?

I don't think I've ever seen one of those... damn, those look killer!!!

I believe they only made something like 750 of them. They were a very limited run, designed by a Swiss luthier named Rolf Spuler, and manufactured under license. He still makes them, though with some design evolution.

that looks like a lot of string-pull on the low string, on the tuner!

Look at that lower horn - it's shaped perfectly to fit over your thigh while seated. While standed, you can't see from these pictures so much but the back is slightly concave, so it really just melts into your body. It's eerie.

Oh, cool!

I wasn't sure if that upper horn would slide back into your chest at all (obviously not as bad as say a Parker.. ouchies my sternum!) when you sat down or not. I guess since they named them "ergodyne" they did a good job with making them comfortable to play.

I had one of the other ergodyne models, the more "regular-shaped" one and liked it.

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate. We'll cross the streams.
