    I've had the 5 string bass version and would happily get one again. They are very well made (in Korea with left over parts from Fender Japan - don't quote me on that though) and have a good following online, though anything over £350 - £400 I would say is pushing it big time unless you are desperate to have that specific make and model (they are worth it, though nowadays you can get similar quality from other makes etc for about the same, so it's not worth spending more, in my opinion - though the red and gold ones are, I think, gorgeous and no one else will have one as they were only made for a couple or so years - they say because they were so good that they were eating into normal Fender sales).

    I had my side dots drilled out and replaced with old fashioned bright white plastic dots.

     

    I've had a variety of UV reactive stuff and it's all been crap. So for me, it's either just a visible bit of plastic, or go the whole way and get LEDs.

    I'm having mine done (plastic white dots) at this very moment

    that is very nice and who doesn't love a passive bass...
    Alas i'll have to wait and see if this makes it to bass direct - then i can go trade in my Yamaha TRB1004J towards it :)
    then the wife won't complain that i'm spending too much haha

    GLWS tho - hope it goes for you

    Or, you send your bass to BD and get mine a bit cheaper :)

    Ibanez EWB205WNE-NT1202 5 string electro-acoustic bass - *SOLD*

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by 6feet7

    Bought last year and never used as I'm going short/medium scale. Comes with padded gig bag.

     

    Tradewise I might be interested in an electric upright bass.

     

    Here's what it says on t'internet.

     

    Ibanez EWB205WNE-NT 5-string electro-acoustic bass guitar

    General

    This 5-string electro-acoustic bass guitar belongs to the Exotic Wood series by Ibanez and combines beauty with craftsmanship. As the bass guitars from the EWB series have a scale length of 34 inches, they have a very clear articulation and sound.
    Ibanez EWB205WNE-NT 5-string electro-acoustic bass guitar
    This Ibanez 5-string bass guitar sounds great acoustically, but this instrument will really come into its own when you amplify it. The EWB205WNE has a natural, high-gloss finish and is equipped with a Fishman Sonicore pickup and an Ibanez SRTc preamplifier. This preamp has a chorus function, a built-in tuner, phase reverse, volume control and a 3-band equalizer (bass, treble, mids), which gives you full control over your bass sound! With just one press of the button you can get that nice chorus sound and with the anti-feedback control you can play the highest notes really loudly without suffering from any feedback.
    Finish
    The body of the EWB20WNE-NT electro-acoustic bass guitar is completely made of cordia, a Mexican wood type that resembles rosewood but is slightly heavier. This results in a very high tone quality. The wood also has more shades of green and gray. Ibanez's guitar builders selected mahogany for the neck of this guitar and rosewood for the bridge. Its beautiful looks are completed with a nice pearloid inlay on the fretboard, an abalone rosette, die-cast, chrome-plated tuners and, of course, a high-gloss natural finish.
    You can quickly connect the 5-string Ibanez Exotic Wood bass guitar to a PA setup thanks to a balanced XLR output, that you can find next to the standard 6.35mm jack output. If you need more than four strings, this high-quality bass guitar with a very affordable price, is the perfect instrument for you!

    Ibanez EHB1005 and 1505 headless basses

    in Basses

    Posted · Edited by 6feet7

    I bought an EHB1005SMS last week and didn't have any of those issues at all (though mine was an ex-demo one, so things may have been sorted in the shop). I did do one mod though. Lowendlobster on Youtube moved one connection on the active preamp (takes less than 5 seconds) and that gives the Bartolinis more bite (well worth doing). He also swapped the pickups for Aguilar DCBD4's, but as they are about £300 I'll give that a miss. I also have put some fluorescent tape (using a hole punch) over the side markers as they are so small they blend into the roasted maple neck and are almost unseeable. I absolutely love the short scale fan frets and, once the connection mod is done, would happily have another of these basses.
