It’s a brand new Chinese one that I have levelled, fret dressed and made generally lovely

Thanks you for the compliments. I have just weighed the bass and it is approx 10lbs

You are absolutely right that they did come originally with American made Barts. I still have them so I can include them with sale in case someone wants to put it back to more original.

I am thinning the bass herd to fund a spindle sander so selling my Ibanez SR1000EFM Prestige 2005. An upgraded, gig-ready beauty loaded with Nordstrand pickups, a John East selectable active/passive Uni-Pre 3-band preamp, and genuine Japanese Luminlay side dots. These basses do not come up for sale very often as they are absolute keepers. There is barely any fret wear. Even for one of these models, the figuring on the flame maple wood is exceptional and this is complemented by the matching flame maple headstock wooden “Prestige” truss rod cover and rosewood fretboard. This was built before CITES regulations came into being so is “proper” rosewood but as a finished instrument is exempt. I still have the made in the USA Bartolinis pickups that bass was built with and I will include these with the sale in case the new owner wants to put it back to more original. They haven’t been used for a few years so I will chuck them in for free if the buyer wants them. This isn’t your average Ibanez; it has the playability and feel you’d expect from a Prestige model. It was made during the time(2005-2009) that the prestige line moved from production in Japan to Korea. Only the J Custom basses are above these in quality but I would argue that this is one of the most refined, fast and comfortable basses I’ve played. The build quality is superb. It’s been freshly strung with new Elixir Nanoweb strings with very minimal playing time and had a full set up by Selborne Guitars, so it’s ready to go straight out the case. Specs & Upgrades: 24 fret 5 piece Maple/Bubinga Neck-thru construction with Ibanez SR thin and fast neck Flame Maple top with Maple wings Rosewood fretboard Offset Abalone inlay dots and headstock logo Nordstrand pickups - Big Singles I think – articulate, and punchy 9v East Uni Preamp – crystal-clear EQ, lots of tonal control Totally independent active and passive signal paths guarantee completely smooth blend when set to active. Custom designed pots allow optimal placement of all controls within active and passive signal paths. Class A FET input stages for great sound quality, with two gain trim preset adjusters for each pickup. Operational response of Bass Control can be set internally at both the lower and upper ends of the bass spectrum. Treble Control with internally adjustable frequency voicing, plus Bright as a pull switch. Mid Control with Frequency Sweep. Overall response can be set as flat or with pre-shaper contour, which adds some warmth and sheen. Modular concept allows for easy installation and replacement of parts should that ever be necessary, all with pluggable connections. Screw terminals are used for all external connections such as pickups, power and grounding, for easy installation. FLAT RESPONSE: Neutral response setting. PRE-SHAPE: Gentle lift at the lower and higher frequencies, peaking +4dBs at 40Hz & 10kHz. PICKUP GAIN: Internal Trimmers 0-12dBs for each pickup in Active Mode. BASS CONTROL: +/- 18dBs Cut/Boost with internally adjustable bass window BASS WINDOW: Lower Frequency Filter 20-80Hz & Higher Frequency Filter 40 - 200Hz. MID CONTROL: +/- 14dBs Cut/Boost with Frequency Sweep 100Hz - 2.5kHz. TREBLE CONTROL: +/- 18dBs with internally Shelf Frequency 1kHz - 7.5kHz, Pull for Bright peaking at 10kHz. Lumilay side dots – visible in the dark, super useful live and added by me Schaller strap lock buttons Tuners - original GOTOH GB707 in Cosmo Black Height adjustable nut Mono Rail IV individual bridge saddles Original Ibanez hard case New Elixir strings Couple of small dings – purely cosmetic, the mark on the side of the body was a scratch that was repaired and refinished. shown in photos Setup recently done by Selborne Guitars Original Ibanez manual More pics available on request.

Selling my GRBASS 410+ wooden cab with GRBASS cover. This is the plus so is 1200w 4ohms not the 600w standard. I paired this with my Hartke LH1000 amp and sounded immense. That amp is also for sale and I will do a deal if you want both. GRBASS boast that this is the lightest wooden cab in the world. Some specs: 49.6lbs - 22.5kg 1200w RMS (AES Standard) 4ohms 4 x 10" custom Jensen/Sica woofer 3 position tweeter switch W24,01 x D16,73 x H27,95 inch Overall, it is in good condition with some marks on the name plate on the front. The covering is good(see photos) Collection from Fleet, Hampshire and you can see it in full flow if I still haven’t sold the amp first.

It is time to part with my Hartke LH1000 amp as it is just sat gathering dust. It comes in a metal double ended opening flight case so it just lives in there. It is an absolute beast, quite heavy and stupidly loud. Some specs: Dual Parallel Mode: 2 x 225 watts @ 8 ohms, 2 x 320 watts @ 4 ohms, 2 x 545 watts @ 2 ohms Bridge Mode: 1 x 750 watts @ 8 ohms, 1 x 1100 watts @ 4 ohms Classic 12AX7 High Voltage Class-A tube preamp circuit Bass and Treble Shelving, plus mid-peak EQ controls Selectable brite switch for added high frequency response Selectable limiter switch with LED indicator Balance control blends level of A and B outputs Front panel XLR balanced direct output Rear panel 1/4-inch effects loop 1/4-inch plus Speakon output connectors Two-rackspace metal chassis with steel faceplate and handles I think I remember swapping out the valve for a Mullard or something similar. I will also include a spare valve for free as I have some knocking about including some Mullards, etc. I paired this with my GRBASS 410+ cab which I also have for sale separately and would do a deal for both.. Collection from Fleet, Hampshire and you are welcome to try before you pay.

This is my back up amp which was never gigged but used for a couple of practices and carried around in my gig bag “just in case”. The amp is very light and compact hence it lived in my bag. It is 500w according to blurb but I have never found it lacking in a loud band setting. It has some marks and scratches from being in my gig bag but works perfectly. It is surplus to requirements now as I have a Stomp XL that will do the job as an amp back-up. The marks and scratches all shown in the photos which form part of the description. Grab yourself a bargain, lightweight spare amp. Collection from Fleet, Hampshire or will post for extra £10
