I used to play an ibanez... you can find pictures of it on here... I was in a band called Fall of Decrepitude, and am in a band called Ravage.. Both bands you can find me with my ibanez.

Your not kidding. When I found out that my bass was made of a close relative of Pine that grows near Korea where the thing was made.. I was pissed. Shitty piece of wood+heavy paint job(so-so pickups)= my ibanez bass.

My friend actually dropped the bass while it was in the case.. upon further inspection I realized that it didn't look like any wood I have ever seend before. I had to really look at the gaping hole to see the grains of the wood.. I later found a wood that looked exactly like it. It is called agathis. Total rip off, I paid 800 dollars for this bass.

sounds like someone didnt brush up on their gear knowledge beforehand and went out and bought an instrument without researching it. bad form.

Hey Carina, if you ever get Gibson work, I'm your man. I'm a big supporter of them and D'Addario and wouldn't mind being in an ad for it ;)

material is an important thing to research when buying an Ibanez. Some of thier guitars aren't even made of wood, they are 'luthite'

i have an ibanez guitar, but it looks like a piece of crap....i sorta have a band, but its a 2-man grind band that never plays and i don't even play guitar in it, i play a snare drum :/

hey all,
thanks for the replies and emails!
just got in from moving crap and i'm exhausted!
anyhow, if you already emailed me, then great! if not, email me at carina@defyunlearn.com

i'm looking to set up a photoshoot beginning of June.

thanks!

I already IMed you, but do you want me to send you an email anyways?

Well, no friggin shit.
Wouldnt we all?
I too love and support D'addario strings, among many that think their 16 dollar elixers are better.
Id put em up against any other string.

Ibanez rgt is sweet, thats about it unless its a 2000 dollar prestige.

Can you photo me shitting on a rg 200b?

powerkok said:

everyone should shit on those.

My latest bass that I bought has a body made of alder with a quilted maple top. The neck is a maple/mahogany laminate. Rosewood fingerboard. It plays beautifully and sounds better. Kahler bridge, dual truss rod, gotoh tuners.

I sure did learn my lesson from that bass. And I don't take much responsiblity for that short coming. I had only been playing for 2 years at the time and I went into guitar center. The only thing I knew is that had that amount of money to spend and I was looking for a 5 string.

I think the people at Guitar Center should know thier shit about guitars, and care a little more about they are selling people. That price tag should not have been on that thing considering what it was made of in the first place.

my ibanez has a broken headstock and a chip between the pick ups... can i still be in it? (please note that the bass was used in tyag)

powerkok said:


actually, i've retired D'addario strings and now use either DR High Beams or Fodera Diamond bass strings. i've used D'addario for years, and they beat the shit out of most other strings like GHS and Dean Markley, but they still died to quickly. i've had these DR strings on for well over a month now, and my bass still sounds fantastic. damn, i need to start getting endorsements

*note* the above post was by me, i didn't notice i wasn't logged in

Spalding is that the infamous 'tori' bass?

Ya , Kalops....I honestly dont know as much about bass strings, but I KILL strings so fast, that I dont know if spending 20 bucks instead of 5 would benefit me that much.
Im one of the 5% of guitarists with the acidic sweat in my hands, I dunno if any of you have ever heard of this, but its a little known phenomenon, that really exists.
I can deaden a strings tone by playing 6 notes.
Kinda sucks.

anonymous said:


Id love to try Fodera strings but havent yet, but as for DRs I am a faithful user and havent found another brand I like as much.

For my four string I use Bootsy Collins Signature Bootzillas (coated)

and for my 5 I use hi-beams.

So, Carina, when are you going to be sending out e-mails?

when i get enough replies. I have something cool in mind.
the shoot is targeted for sometime in june so probably first few days of the month since i'm leaving for vacation this week.

Oh, and the tori bass is my first bass ever... Its a shitty yamaha rbx 180 with an upgraded seymour duncan pick up

DeOdiumMortis said:

yeah yeah yeah! mike's got an ibanez!

I gots two. One doesn't suck.

spaldino on the sidekick said:

what duncan is in there?

i'm playing ibanez now but am way to ugly mybe if i hold the guitar over my face

You can just be waaaay in the background... facing backwards.

thanks mike i guess you will be next to me then

I'll probably be kneeling on the floor so your old ass has a place to sit.

does an Ibanez Acoustic count? ;)

oh yeah, I have an Ibanez classical! sign me up for just kidding school!

all right...i don;'t know who's kidding and who is serious..

can i get a head count?

oh remember, you need to be in a band pls

DeOdiumMortis said:


i may be old but i still have more energy and drive than 80% of the younger people in the scene

succubus said:



what exactly are you gonna need us to do, i have 3 ibanez elc guitars but one is beat to hell and covered with stickers tho

1 Acoustic

<- play's Ibanez, in a band (Shroud) Serious about this whole thing!

e-mail me Carina: mark.guy@gmail.com

basically what i want to do is take a group shot of people who play an ibanez instrument.
ibanez didn't ask me to do it, however, i've worked for them and will be working with them again at this year's Ozzfest.
i figured if i could get a cool group shot...i'd then get everyone's full name, band name and where the band is from and send it to them

maybe they'll want to use it or something...i figured it would be nice to do it for ibanez AND the people in the photo (great advertising/marketing for yer band) who knows maybe you'll get sponsored

worst case scenario..i'll put it on my portfolio site along with the other one i did for them ...

ok so a group shot with your ibanez, it shouldn't look beat up though, in case they wanna use it, they wanna see them all purdy and stuff and then i'll take individual shots too. Obviously, if you want copies of the pics, no problem.

hope i answered everything

i have a few locations in mind but it depends on how many people i get...

okies thats cool i'd be down for that

excellent !
my roll call:
Subjugate #1 person

~Carina~ said:

DreamingInExile #2 person :P you seem to forget me!

anonymous said:

that was me... I'm at work :( and not logged in

well i just had people asking for details so i figured i'd post them hear and see who was interested.
I am trying to get a headcount and then once i do i'll email people with a few date/locations to see what works best for the majority

succubus said:

well, I think it would be hillarious if it was a bunch of dudes all metal with electric guitars and then just me standing there with some elegant acoustic guitar ahahah.

I'm in thus far. I've got an extra guitar someone can borrow if they want to come along for the fun.

what a waste of life

I am now.


sort of

is it okay if my band hasn't decided on a name?
