I bought this bass after considerable research into piezo bass sounds. There were others in contention, such as a Cort and a Godin. Listening to Youtube reviews, I figured the best features/sound/playability for money came from this Ibanez.
The surprise I had was how much better it sounded in real life than through a YT video on my iPad. The tone can be what you want, but if you want zingy, it is there in abundance.
The Bartolini pickups are hot, with a small amount of gain (volume?) enough to feed a computer audio interface (Focusrite). Indeed, with piezo and both pickups, I needed very little gain on the audio interface.
The combinations of gain, tone and p/u selection give many overall tones.
This is the best bass I have owned - I hope I can get good enough to get the best out of it.
