Welcoming the Ibanez SRMS625EX Iron Label to the gang
Continuing my quest to conquer five strings(only my second ever), and I've had my eye on the Iron Label SRMS for a while now. My heart dropped when it first arrived though; it looked like FedEx played Kick the Baby with the box. Upon opening it, the volume knob was completely off and rattling around inside of the box, the treble knob was almost off, and the neck had a ridiculous amount of back bow that choked off all of the strings. Replaced and tightened the knobs, gave the truss rod almost a full turn, plugged it in and checked all of the controls. Everything is good to go now.
Planning on a set of Nordstrand Zen Blades for it like my other two SRMSs, and the Midrange Monster Custom preamp(Darkglass Tone Capsule clone with switchable low and high mid frequencies). Lūm dislike BH2s as much as I do.
