![]() ![]() Spec-wise, the Ibanez probably has the better pickups for the job (the Gretsch non-GC models have Blacktop Filter'Tron PUP's whereas the Ibanez has bass-specific humbuckers in a vintage winding). I'll try Emeryville later this week as they also have both models in stock. Yet it played and resonated quite well acoustically. I was hoping to compare to one of the new Gretsch G5400-series hollow bodies, but GC only carries the GC-only model which isn't of the same quality (G5123B) and the one in Concord had an electrical fault so I couldn't hear its PUP's. Ibanez changes their line-up so fast, I can never keep up with them. But this model is entirely different from any I've tried before. I had tried some other Ibanez models earlier and hated them all, in terms of neck feel, how they responded acoustically, and how they sounded. I tried to try one at GC yesterday but there were too many noisy guitarists pumping up the bottom end to the max, so I couldn't judge it properly. ![]()
