gruskgo Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) I've owned this bass for a few years now and It's finally time to let it go.. I'ts a custom made Ibanez sr1300 that I picked up from a music shop about 4 years ago. The bass needs a preamp and pickups, and has holes for recessed straplocks (not my mod) but aside from that is in good condition. It has a 5-piece bubinga/wenge neck, a wenge fingerboard, and a Padauk/Maple/Bubinga/Maple/Mahogany/Maple/Bubinga/Maple/Padauk body. All the hardware is in great condition also, any questions just shoot me a message. As for price, I'd be happy to get £350, but make me an offer if you think you can fix it up, this bass plays beautifully when it's put together and has a lovely thin neck. Anyone curious about the mods on this bass: The reason for the 5 holes is the preamp that was in there was a John East U Retro 5 knob deluxe [url="http://www.east-uk.com/"]http://www.east-uk.com/[/url] , I actually still have the preamp but without any pots that I could chuck in with it for an extra 50 if anyone's interested, it costs over £200 new but needs pots and wiring. The LED is for a battery power indicator (also from John East, it flashes when your batteries are running low) that I would chuck in for free, but the hole is standard size for any switches. The reason for the extra hole is that the Preamp had a passive tone pot (push pull for active/passive) as well as the usual preamp EQ. The only other mod I believe is the straplocks were recessed into the body so the strap just clicked straight in, but they could easily be filled or replaced The bass is in London and I would prefer collection but shipping can be arranged for a bit extra, it's not a heavy bass so it wouldn't be much, I'm just a bit concerned about transit damage.

Soloshchenko Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 That looks lovely, fantastic pieces of wood and nothing too drastic needed to get it upand running. There beats the heart of a sweet bass there. Think you'll have to name a guide price for it mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 GAStastic - been hankering after another Ibby SR after trading mine a while back. Price please, and any idea of the weight? Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruskgo Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hey guys, sorry for the lack of price but I really have no idea what it's worth! I've put a price up but make me an offer if you feel it's unreasonable, It was a fairly pricey when I bought it but that was a while back when it had all the parts! as for weight not sure, but its light, was the lightest bass I had with pre/pickups in there.
