Putting this rather stunning Sire P5 up for sale. I’ve been wanting to try these for a while and loved the colour combo of this, but I’m back on 4 string at the moment and it’s not getting used. It’s in great condition, I can’t see any marks on it other than usual playing wear on the pick guard. Let me know any questions.

Up for sale or trade is my lovely EHB1505MS black ice flat, with a burl poplar top and mahogany body. I love these basses for their comfort but just want something a little more traditional at the moment. Open to trades for other 4 or 5 strings. it’s in really good condition with only one blemish on the top edge where you rest your arm which is hardly noticeable. The only alteration to standard was moving the strap button to a more traditional position by the bridge, which for me made the bass sit so much better. There are also larger dot markers on the side of the neck, but those are removable. I've owned both the 1500 and 1505 series basses, and this one is a substantial step up in build and tone. Comes with the finger ramp and decent original gigbag. Manufactures spec and blurb: Body & Neck The body of the EHB series basses has been carefully designed for optimal ergonomics. The bass will sit in a comfortable position whether you’re stood up or sat down, with a set of simple curves and contours that offer excellent mobility and flexibility. The body wood of choice is African Mahogany, with an eye-catching Poplar Burl top. The multi-scale neck employs a 9-piece design comprised of Panga Panga and Walnut. A set of Graphite reinforcement rods provide supreme stability, durability and resistance against the elements. Stainless Steel frets and luminous side dots further emphasise the expertise that has gone into the EHB’s design process. The multi-scale concept mirrors the movement of your hand, making for a comfortable, adaptive playing experience. Electronics & Hardware On the electronics front, you get a set of Nordstrand Big Split pickups with a hum-cancelling design. These pickups are known for their hybrid P/J tone, well balanced but with a bit of midrange bite when needed. A vari-mid 3-band EQ (complete with bypass switch) further complements a wide tonal palette. Finally, a specially-designed bridge – the MR5HS – is unique in that each bridge piece is independently attached to the body for maximum vibration transfer. Adjustable saddles, Schaller S-lock strap pins and a Neutrik locking jack are the final pro-grade appointments – this bass means business. Specifications Pangapanga/Walnut neck with Graphite reinforcement rods 889mm/35" scale at 5th string, 838mm/33" scale at 1st string Poplar Burl top/Selected lightweight African Mahogany body Bound Panga Panga fretboard w/Abalone off-set dot Medium Stainless Steel frets Nordstrand Custom Big Split neck pickup Nordstrand Custom Big Split bridge pickup Vari-mid 3-band EQ EQ bypass switch (passive tone control on treble pot) MR5HS bridge (18mm string spacing) Black hardware Ibanez custom headpieces Factory Tuning: 1G, 2D, 3A, 4E, 5B String Gauge: .045/.065/.080/.100/.130 Schaller S-Locks strap pins Luminescent side dot inlay Finger Ramp included Gig bag included

Thanks Paul! yes these Ibanez headless are the most comfortable 5 strings you could get. Only selling this as I have 2. This has had a set up recently and the action is very low, very simple to play and I would imagine would suit E-C perfectly.

Bit of a feeler at the moment, I lusted after this bass for a while, and finally caved in and bought it. And though I still love everything about it, it’s quite a change from the Ibanez EHB I’ve been gigging. So thought I’d see what sort of interest or trades were around. It’s wonderfully made and in immaculate condition, and has been upgraded with bartonlini pickups and a j tone preamp to give more flexibility. The B string is great as expected with these. 35 inch scale, 19mm string spacing and weighs in at a lightweight 4.1kg. I’ve added the original ad, hope this is ok with bassed in bucks. His photos are much better!

I’m up for possible trades on this, either a fretless or a precision ideally. Ibanez EHB1005MS in Matt black. In great condition, believe it is 2021. I love this bass for it ergonomics, and playability, only reason for sale is I have upgraded to the 1505 version. There is a chip in the paintwork on the rear which happened in transit, but obviously cannot be seen when playing, and has not bothered me at all. There also appears to be a slight split where the fretboard meets the neck at the body end, see photos. I took this to a local luthier for a set up when I got it, and pointed this out. He said it looks to have been glued and is nothing to worry about. it has been set up with a really low action and virtually plays itself! Comes with nice Ibanez gig bag.

Ibanez EHB1005 in Matt black. In good condition, believe it is 2019. I love this bass for it ergonomics, and playability, it has been my main gigging bass for the last couple of years. So I decided to buy the fan fretted version to try and am now confused as to which I prefer, so I’m putting them both up for sale to see which sells first! I have installed a second strap pin nearer the jack, which in my opinion massively improves how the bass sits on the strap, not sure why Ibanez didn’t do this. Unfortunately I managed to chip some of the paint off while doing it, and I have covered with black tape. It is not noticeable at all as the strap covers it, but it is there. Comes with nice Ibanez gig bag. Collection preferred from Chelmsford
