I have decided to move this on, it is such a beautiful instrument, beautifully made, sounds amazing but I am just using Stingrays these days, go figure! This is where I bought it: https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/gb-spitfire-5 But I know it belonged to a fellow basschatter. From the previous owner: (hope he doesn't mind) 35" scale Neck 42mm at the nut (which is about 1 11/16th inches I think!), and 20mm deep. 66mm/25mm @ the 12th fret and 75mm wide at the 24th fret Ash body (at least it looks like it to me) Birdseye maple neck and fingerboard (which looks awesome!) Quilted maple top. The bridge allows adjustable string spacing, but currently set to 19mm GB pickups Active 18v GB electronics, Vol, Pan, Bass, Mid, Treble and a "bright switch", which seems to boost to top end for extra bite. Weight: 9lbs 10oz (Re. the scratch plates - one is black, the other is tortoiseshell. The scrachplates are not attached by screws, so there are no drill holes in the body of the bass. The tortoise shell one fits very snugly with no adhesive required. It looks like some double sided sticky tape has been required with the black plate.) Trev "thestick" told me that he had the bass/electronics set up & serviced by Bernie Goodfellow when he got the bass, so everything is working as it should, and it's currently set with quite low action - probably a little too low for my heavy handed playing, but it's good to know that it's possible to set it up like that. Sound wise, it sounds like a GB. A very modern smooth full sound (very much like a GB Rumour I had a few years back). The B string sounds tremendous, and is proper earthshaking stuff! Very clear fundamental, I can't imagine it gets any better in fact Condition: this has been a players bass, so it's far from perfect, but it's certainly not been trashed. Mostly finish marks and some dings, which because of the colour of the bass are pretty hard to make out unless you're looking up close. I think I'd struggle make them show in pictures. So, overall, I'd give it a 7.5 to 8 out of 10. So there you have it! A very nice bass all round, but not pristine so you won't have to worry too much when you gig it

Reached Page 8! now on the bay.

Hi Guys, I am having a bargain clear out to raise funds for an incoming purchase! So I am putting a few basses up at bargain prices. This is a stunning bass that has so many tones available it is silly. It can do an amazing Stingray to a P-Bass with ease. I got it from this very forum and it is in excellent shape. It is from the Ibanez Premium range and the quality shows.

great basses, great price!

Cheers! I know, thought it was a very sensible price, might end up keeping it now, every time I pick it up I enjoy playing it!

bump for a brilliant rare and wonderful bass!

bump for price drop

A healthy 11lbs, but the tone!

Hi Guys, REDUCTION BEFORE I DECIDE TO KEEP AND FOR THIS WEEK ONLY! £ 500.00 It is just too nice, and I am definitely not reducing it any further, and it is a joy to play, so it stays! This really is a rare beast, got this from a good friend of mine who used to have a music shop and was part of his private stash! Apparently there were only 10 of these made and one of them was a gift to Geezer butler! The original pickups and electrics have at some point been replaced by an active EMG pre amp and pickups, which I have to say sound really good. I was thinking of replacing them but I really don't think it is necessary. I had the pickup surrounds professionally made and I think they look good. The neck is lovely to play, high mass bridge 16mm string spacing at the bridge, brass nut, lovely quality instrument. Not the lightest, but solid and very functional. I have priced it at a very reasonable rate to cover what it owes me and to take into account non original electrics, but these do come up at solid prices: https://www.cashconverters.co.uk/shop/product/jaydee-celeste-5-string-supernatural-bass-guitar-1989/229245 A real piece of history. Will come with a decent gig bag.
