Used just on one recording session. Great sound but the tension was too low for my personal preference. Cut for a 4+1 headstock.

    For sale: Ibanez Artcore AFBV200A. Price: [s][b]£370[/b] including UK postage.[/s] [size=5][i]Bass is now sold[/i][/size] Not interested in trades at the moment. This is a four-string, hollow-body bass with a 30.3" scale neck and a "vintage"/relic finish. I bought it new about three months ago and have played it just a handful of times. No knocks, scuffs, or dings. Weight: 3.0 kg. Currently strung with D'Addario Chromes flatwounds - or I can re-install the original roundwounds (unplayed). I'll throw in a 'Tom & Will' gig bag (it has a rip on the outside but functions fine). The official Ibanez website is: [url="http://www.ibanez.com/products/u_eb_detail.php?year=2016&cat_id=2&series_id=57&data_id=61&color=CL01"]http://www.ibanez.co...d=61&color=CL01[/url]

    I also use a Bass Max (installed on the normal "E" side) and no external pre-amp. +1 to the suggestion of steels - I have Golden Slaps D/G and Spiro E/A.

    [quote name='90210' timestamp='1461335625' post='3033824'] I think 49 might be Eternal Triangle (in F), but the bridge does't quite match [/quote] I thought the opposite - the bridge looks correct for Eternal Triangle, but the A section is not (wrong key).

    [quote name='olliedf89' timestamp='1459790803' post='3019678'] The E seems very loose which is causing it to be flappy, so it clacks against the pickup when I play, producing a pop which is really frustrating. [/quote] This doesn't address your problem directly, but in the meantime you could try putting electrical/masking tape over the pickup. This might stop the pop noise.

    Price reduced to [b]£150[/b] posted. To answer some questions received here and by PM: No amp or cab was used for the recording; the bass was plugged directly into a Zoom R24 recorder. I bought the bass second-hand less than a year ago. It has hardly been played at all in this time -- just the occasional noodle at home -- which is the reason for sale. (My dreams of being the next Gary Willis have been put on hold...) Regarding roundwound marks: the fingerboard is fine. I would say there is very light string marking. I took a couple more close-up photos (link below). There is some pickup hum. I've uploaded some isolated bass tracks of the start of each take, before I began playing. Turn the volume up and hear for yourself: [url="https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByytttLU9OSveFpPMGpCTlJRazQ&usp=sharing"]https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByytttLU9OSveFpPMGpCTlJRazQ&usp=sharing[/url]

    I was asked for some sound samples, so here is my best Will Lee impression... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7Iam5TnTKE Recorded direct, tone up full, with no effects or post-processing. The recordings start off mixed, so you can hear the bass in context. Then I gradually fade David Bowie out, to isolate the bass. 0:00 Both pickups 1:05 Neck pickup 2:08 Bridge pickup

    [quote name='therealting' timestamp='1457648389' post='3000716'] Does it have decent acoustic volume and resonance? [/quote] No, not really. It's definitely louder than an solid-body bass. You could practise around the house unplugged - but that's about it. You couldn't jam acoustically with other instruments. Also, the acoustic tone has no depth - not very bass-y. (Just to clarify - in a previous post when I said "at home it seems to have a nice, deep tone" that was with a pre-amp and headphones.)

    [quote name='therealting' timestamp='1457601764' post='2999957'] Which model is it, and how do you find the finish? [/quote] The model is AFBV200A. I think they've done a good job on the finish. They have not gone over-the-top, and the overall impression from a couple of feet away, or more, is it looks great! If you spent some time examining it really closely, you would probably know it's not actually an old, battle-scarred, vintage instrument.

    As requested, a couple more photos of the marks/scratches on the back/upper horn: [url="http://i.imgur.com/HJFhrZL.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/HJFhrZL.jpg[/url] [url="http://i.imgur.com/P5CWjwT.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/P5CWjwT.jpg[/url]

    I picked one up a couple of weeks ago. First time I've owned a short-scale bass, or a hollow-body. The overall length of the whole instrument is the same as a normal 34" bass, but the scale is shorter since the bridge is some way into the body. Switched the strings to D'Addario Chromes. By the way, despite the 30.3" scale, it takes normal 34" strings due to the distance between bridge and tailpiece. Doesn't weigh much: 3.0 kg. Haven't played it out yet (first chance to is over the next few days), but so far at home it seems to have a nice, deep tone but while still remaining tight - not boomy.
