I changed the original preamp in my previous ME P/J 5 for the drop-in VTC preamp. Honestly, looking back and listening to the recordings I did with it both before and after, it wasn’t the night and day difference some made it out to be. I’m sure changing the stock pick ups as well to the full fat noiseless sets in the Metro and NYC models would be more noticeable. I’ve been corrected on this before but I believe the VTC control acts as a low pass filter for the treble frequency, so you can adjust it so that it’s no so harsh/dark sounding. I can’t speak for the passive tone side of it as I don’t ever use any active bass in passive. Currently, I have a 4 string ME JJ and it is all stock and I genuinely enjoy the preamp and find (as even Roger himself has said) keeping the treble around 40/50%, the bass at 60%, and then adding some presence on my amp gets me the nice modern hi-fi jazz bass tone that I prefer. Here’s a recent cover with it: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCfOnJdOkgr/?igsh=MWQ1YzF3dHExdDdyeQ==

There are a few very light surface marks here and there on the neck but they’re barely noticeable, and a few on the top of the headstock.I could only find one little nick which is on the back of the volute. And it’s a healthy 8lb, not the weightless bits of driftwood the newer ones tend to feel like 👍🏻

Hey Guys, This is one of the finest Ibanez basses I’ve owned, but I just fancy a change right now. The previous owner had neglected this bass for a while, but it has since been recently professionally set up and cleaned and given a fresh bill of health by Mark at Wilts Guitar Repair. This bass is roughly 20/21 years old (going by the serial number) and as such it has seen some action. There are quite a few surface dings but nothing significant and the worst of it is on the back. The original control knobs for the bass/treble/mid/mid frequency have been replaced with newer metal ones. The playability is great with a very low action. All of the technical info on this model can be found here: https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/SR3005E I haven’t got a spare case unfortunately, so collection from Bridgwater, Somerset would be preferred. I do have a spare box which I can use to send it, but I would have to the buyer to cover the cost of postage and insurance. Here’s a few recent recordings with it: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DA1f1usOPHv/?igsh=MWpnc201anp4ZzJ6Ng== https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_q1XqmObM1/?igsh=MTV4bGUyOTJtanh2 I’m open to trades for potentially a Jazz or Precision bass, Stingray, Lakland, Spector. Any questions please give me a message. Thanks, Josh.

Hey guys, I’ve had this rig for about 3 months now and I’ve come to realisation I only really need a combo amp, as my days of gigging are seemingly over and I spend most of my playing time going through headphones. Which means this great amp isn’t getting the full attention it deserves and I want someone else to make use out of it. We’ve got a Little Mark 3 (Italian made) which is now 11 years old and works brilliantly. I’ve noticed due to the wiring of my house that it can cause a slight buzz after the amp is switched on, but within a few minutes it goes away and doesn’t affect the tone or volume of the head at all. It is completely quiet going via the DI which is how I’ve used it predominantly since owning it. The 410 is the STD HF model, 800 watts into 8 ohms, so this thing is indeed very powerful and no issues at all and has also been very well looked after by the previous owner. The head and cab both come with a gig bag and cover which are pictured and themselves are both in great condition. I’m looking for a quick sale as I’ve found its replacement, so someone will get a bargain. £400 for both, collected from Bridgwater, Somerset. I can deliver/meet up with a certain distance as well. Any questions please ask. Thanks, Josh.
