It's a classic I think, bolt on neck, nice tactile NS shaped body. Amber/black fittings with a lovely grain. I just tried taking photos but they didn't come out well with flash. It is just like this one except with an 18v BTC preamp upgrade-will run as normal on 9V I believe. It is used but not much as it has the odd little mark on the back of the body but I don't think it will show on a photo, front is perfect and grain is great. It looks like this: [url="http://www.bandm.co.uk/productSummary.aspx?GUID=3149436f-a420-4044-b92a-5facfce9d934"]http://www.bandm.co....2a-5facfce9d934[/url] I'll take some pictures in the day light tomorrow and post them An awful lot of bass for the money IMHO -
Bump for new price!

No interest? I was really pleased to snag this 6 months ago as I looked for a ncie one for ages. Final bump before I pack it up for a while!

SOLD!

Bump!

I think they did a great job with the looks of the guitar. The body shape and bridge in particular looks great.

Luckily I'm sorted as I have the three pedals I plan on using and the board already. I would like to power them from the mains and have been in touch with "digidave" who I bought an adapter from a while back. It looks like the Digitech Synth Wah and Harke Bass Attack will daisy chain. That means I need to sort out an adapter for the MXR Blowtorch distortion. Thats 18v so I'm waiting for a reply on that. They don't do an adapter but I don't see why I can't use two 9v daisy chain inputs somehow. I'll let you know how I ressolve it. I can always run this off a seperate adapter if need be there is plenty of space on the board. Crude but functional is fine by me but I do need to get them set up. At the moment I don't use them much because I'm too lazy and just plug into the amp. Note to self: must find my camera!

ATK is a great looking bass but not really what I was looking for. Also I'm not sure about Ibanez necks from the new ones I played. After playing the BB425x at the weekend I quite fancy a passive. From my limited playing experiences I'd prefer a 5 string Spector, Schecter or Yamaha BB. so bump.

Just putting out feelers in case someone out there fancied moving from 5 to 4 strings!. I have a beautiful Amberburst Spector 4 with BTC 18v upgrade for trade. Amberburst is in good condition, front virtually unmarked and a couple of small bumps on the back of the body but all varnish and paint is there. Great sound with loads of headroom. I love the guitar/sound but prefer 5 strings. Also i may be getting a 2nd Spector/translucent red Legend so am happy to trade one or maybe both for a 5 stringer of similar value. I'd prefer a Spector, Schecter or Yamaha BB. PM me if your interested. No pictures as no camera at the moment. Ed

Have a bump it's a beut! -
Thanks for that, I'll check em out.

OK thanks for the advice everyone.I'm very much amateur so its all useful Re: Truckstops comment "It's ok if you don't like a pedal. If you buy something and it doesn't quite do what you want it to do, move it on!". I kind of found that out already as its all about learning for me so both pedal and guitar choice is constantly evolving. It's amazing how often what I think I need turns out not to be what I actually want I didn't get on with the boss distortion but am now happy with my Bass Attack, Synth Wah and Blow torcth

I'm pretty new to Bass so when I went to PMT in Bristol to check out the possibilities the sales gur steered be away from the the expensive mols to a squire copy. He said "before you try anything els try this as you are goin to have to spend an awful lot more money to get something that will compare to it" and it was a cmfortable nice sounding bass. Mentally I still do it every time I play a new bass. Great value and a good quality experience.

Thanks, some useful stuff in there. Re: Spelling I'm a lost cause but at least I used the same spelling twice even if its wrong, I may remember board for a while now though. Re: Classical music, I tried to like it but it doen't have that "thud" that I like-other than the 1812 which is OK. ED

Hi, I'm hoping to get some pointers and ideas as the best way to go. I currently have three pedals (MXR blowtorch, Harke VXL Bass Attack and Digitech envelope filter) and want to set up an unpowered Gater "Bone" bourd to stop them kicking around the floor. My thinking follows: 1. Velcro doesn't seem to stick to the rubber underside of my pedals and some aren't flat in any case so am I best to rip of the rubber (I don't like vandalizing my pedals). Any other suggestions?? 2. I plan to fix a 2 point 3 pin mains plug socket to the side of the "bone" so that I can plug in the 9 and 18v adapters that I need for the pedals. Then I can daisy chain the 9v as necesary-sound OK? 3. I plan to run the pedals in series-is that the best way? Any opinions or advice on the above would be greatly appreciated as I'd like it all up and running as soon as possible. Also any recommendations of a vital pedal that I should have, compression maybe?

GONE: 1981 Guild B402-A *price reduced* *trade options added*
Pinball replied to neepheid's topic in Basses For Sale
Nice guitar which is w ay out of my price range, which is a shame for me as I was secretly hoping to come across one of these some day. I tried one in 83 in a shop in Edinburgh along with the lead guitar version that was the same shape. At the time I was playing a nice Guild semi acoustic lead, which is why they caught my eye. I remember them as being excellent instruments. but had no idea they were that rare. To me they still look as good today as they did then. Have a bump! -
[quote name='Jellyfish' timestamp='1341501671' post='1720136'] I had to wait weeks and weeks for my G&L to sell. By which point I had enough cash on top to buy myself an Ibanez SR Prestige. It really is a buyers market. This bass is such a good price.. [/quote] You nailed it. If they are a good price they either sell immediately or sit there for ages. If I had the money in my guitar fund I would have already blown it on a Warwick, Yammy TRB, G&L or this Ibanez in the last two weeks, some nice Mex Fenders that have come up too. -
[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1341500389' post='1720113'] Waiting until after summer's not such a problem and I do actually enjoy playing this bass - especially when I put it through my Daniel D turbo-booster pedal - it sounds massive! [/quote] Aye, or wait for me to get the money, I'll soon get bored with something else and sell it.. You know the way to my heart as I love words to describe sound like "Massive" and "Booster", underhand tactics!

Hmm, a tricky one. Maybe a reflection of the smaller bonus being given to bankers? As someone new to bass guitars it seems like there are lots of good deals around, both here and ebay so I guess the market is just slow. The prices of new bass guitars have also dropped as you sometimes see sellers on ebay trying to sell their guitars for more than the price of a new example. Certainly nothing wrong with the quality of instruments or a reflecttion on sellers. There is another thread going at the moment that suggests that only a couple of makes are are fachionable and maintaining their value, although even that may be relative to other makes rather than compared to what they were worth a couple of years ago. Your Ibanez looks a bargain. I would like to own it but I just got another recently. There just aren't enough people buying I guess. If you can I would stash it away and bring it out after the summer hols.

Bump for a nice looking bass!
