ikay Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) I have a beautiful SR5 in trans-teal/maple for sale. It's been my main bass for the last ten years. Has been well used in that time but also very well cared for (I'm a bit anal in that respect) and it's in all round excellent condition. No issues whatsoever, sounds great and is a joy to play. Reason for sale is that I've recently acquired a rather special '92 SR5 which has taken over as my main bass so this one is now in need of a new home. Here are some vital statistics: [b]Year[/b] - 2000, bought new from the Bass Centre in Wapping (what a great place that was) and have receipt [b]Weight[/b] - 10lbs dead (actual weight using digital fishing scales) [b]Action[/b] - What I call medium/low, very light relief (about .012" measured at 8th fret), string height measured at 12th fret 5/64 (G) to 6/64 (B ). Strung with 45/65/80/100/130 gauge Picato nickels. [b]Electrics[/b] - 3-band EQ, full working order no issues [b]Condition[/b] - Excellent, aside from a few light scratches on the fingerplate I can't find a mark on her so 9.9/10 [b]Case[/b] - OHSC included [b]Price - £675 plus shipping which I think is very fair for a bass of this quality and condition. [/b] Location - Rudgwick in West Sussex (on A281 between Guildford and Horsham). If you're in the area you're very welcome to come and try her out. The unusual bit is that I also have a spare SR5 neck in rosewood which I can offer as an option. THIS IS EXTREMELY RARE!!! The bass originally had a rosewood neck which I changed to maple last December. I was just getting a bit bored with RW after 9 years and fancied giving maple a try. Have to say I like the maple, it sounds a little more 'open' to me whereas the RW sounded a little 'compressed'. The maple neck was purchased new (NOS) from Strings & Things in Shoreham (UK EBMM distributor which is near where I live) who happened to have one in stock left over from the days when they used to swap necks around to meet customer orders. I have the receipt. EBMM stopped this practice a few years ago and now demand the original neck to be returned if a replacement is needed. The original rosewood neck has been very carefully stored and is in great condition. [b]I'll include it in the sale for an additional £100 (£175 if I sell it separately).[/b] Any questions or if you'd like any specific pics please PM [attachment=58390:P1030516.jpg][attachment=58382:P1030504.jpg][attachment=58383:P1030505.jpg] [attachment=58384:P1030512.jpg][attachment=58385:P1030508.jpg][attachment=58386:P1030509.jpg] [attachment=58387:P1030506.jpg][attachment=58388:P1030511.jpg][attachment=58389:P1030507.jpg] [attachment=58391:P1030522.jpg][attachment=58392:P1030527.jpg][attachment=58393:P1020821.jpg] [attachment=58394:P1020822.jpg][attachment=58395:P1020824.jpg][attachment=58396:P1020832.jpg] [attachment=58397:P1020835.jpg] Edited September 10, 2010 by ikay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
