pantherairsoft Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) THIS HAS BEEN TRARED Hi folks, I have a rather unique and fantastic sounding Ibanez SR2010ASC Ashula. This is a limited edition for 2010 and very few remain available to buy from online retaillers. This bass is 6 strings, strung as a 4 string fretted, with the D & G strings repeated over a fretless board as well. Fretless strings have there own pickup so they literally sound like a different bass. I took this to Nottingham Bass Bash last weekend and it got a fair few compliments and much interest. The preamp and pups in this are unique to this model and blow the socks off othe Ibanez basses I've played. I have replaced all the knobs with expensive (£30 worth) of Hipshot O-Rings and given this a real good set up... It plays fantastic and the intonation is great over both fretted and fretless sections. Link to more info - [url="http://www.ibanez.com/BassGuitars/model-SR2010ASC"]http://www.ibanez.com/BassGuitars/model-SR2010ASC[/url] I recently reviewed this and you can find it here along with many pictures - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=109041"]http://Basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=109041[/url] I bought this as an investment for the future, but something is available that I really need for a band I'm in and this is going unplayed (generally kept in case like an investment should be!). I have had it a mere 4 weeks and the only time it's left my apartment since was to the Bass Bash. Absolutely spotless. I would like[b] £660 now including delivery to mainland UK[/b] for this. Also includes are the original knobs as well as the sexy Hipshot O-rings that cost £30 and a decent gigbag as well. I have replaced the strap pins with Schaller ones, which I will leave on as well as including the originals, and will throw in a full set of Schaller strap locks (chrome) for £10. Will consider part-ex offers on... lightweight compact combos (Markbass etc) particularly an EBS Drome EBS Neo 110, 112 or 210 EBS Proline 210 Will consider other compact cabs (110, 112 etc) I won't be upset if this doesn't sell as I'll put it away for the future as I intended to... Pictured here alongside my Roscoe... (it's the lighter coloured one, obviously!) And with the knobs changed for the Hipshot ones...

MythSte Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 thats really quite something! I wish I had something for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 It is a rather wonderful and odd beast... But sounds and feels amazing. If anyone wants to try this by the way (And I'd understand that people may wish to with it being a little unusual) it is located in Nottingham City Centre and anyone is more than welcome anytime... Those members on here that know me will know I am ALWAYS happy for anyone to try any of my gear, even if your not sure it's for you...

Silent Fly Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I must admit I was a little bit dubious about the double fretboard but after [url="http://www.ibanez.com/news?ceId=2914&cat=4"]watching the video[/url] I must say it is a very cool idea! I almost have a GAS attack [i]free bump for a very cool bass[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does sound great and has some great features (like rolling the volume off on the mini pickup pretty much mutes the fretless strings so you can't catch them when playing 4 string fretted )... If your GAS does strike I'm sure I can think of A few part-ex items from your stock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Great vid - alas I expect the bass wouldn't sound that good in my hands ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very 'funk-esque' tone. I was surprised when I first picked it up... Usually video demo's sound nothing like the bass/amp/pedal it's showing... I've had a large amount of PM's regarding trades with other basses... Sorry people but I'm not interested in other basses at all. It has to be a sale, or part-ex trade involving one of the cabs or combos listed in the 1st post... UPDATE - Will include shipping within mainland UK...

pantherairsoft Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 (edited) Big bump! 212 cab requirement has been sorted. Still interested in compact cabs and lightweight combos. Cash is king though! May consider a 4 string slap monster or an EUB... But this is just a 'feeler' of a trade idea Shep Edited December 3, 2010 by pantherairsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBass86 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Bump for my Ideal bass, and in my city. Don't suppose you now want a G&L L2000... Worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) PM'd to discuss further. Edited December 5, 2010 by pantherairsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I wish I could use this, it looked and sounded amazing at the Bass Bash, like I said then though, I'm no fretless player so I'd be totally lost as to what to do with it. Plus the fretted side is missing a string and the fretless is missing 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) Thanks bud. It's an interesting bit of kit! It got an amazing amount of compliments at the Bass Bash... Even more than my Roscoe (which may be going next year to fund a Marseer Fretless)... All those combo's for sale here... Someone must fancy a punt at this... Give me a try! Worst I'll say is no Edited December 5, 2010 by pantherairsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
