robbobass Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 [font=Arial][size=2]Here is another of my surplus basses for sale - this one is an Ibanez Soundgear SR506 six string bass.[/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2]It has a nice green lacquered stain body and head, with gold hardware, and is quite light for a six string. (easy to wear for periods of time at gigs / rehearsals etc). [/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2]Controls are, volume, pan-pot, treble and bass (all except volume with a centre detente). [/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2]It has two 'ADX6' soapbar pickups, nice action, and is currently strung with flatwounds.[/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2]There are a few minor marks - but nothing visible when playing and certainly does not affect the sound in any way.[/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2]It will come with its original Ibanez case.[/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2][attachment=122447:SAM_0218.JPG][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2][attachment=122448:SAM_0220.JPG][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2][attachment=122449:SAM_0222.JPG][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2][attachment=122445:SAM_0219.JPG][/size][/font]
ezbass Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Very nice looking bass, but forum rules stipulate that you must quote a price. It might also help to give your location. Good luck with your sale.
Kongo Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Very nice bass indeed. 34" scale length and easier to play than the BTB series. Great workhorses too and the necks don't feel so unnatural on these. Uncommon finish also. Put up a price dude, it will help with the sale AND keep the mods happy. :-P
chrismuzz Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I've never seen an SR506 like this before. They all have that browny red colour now. Nice!
mattbass6 Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I've been watching this on ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-Soundgear-SR-506-six-string-bass-/251173284097?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&nma=true&si=Lyd5n2nMtTS360dtSx60EXOSlI8%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc It looks interesting. What are you selling it for Robbobass?
robbobass Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 I'm hoping to get £350 and postage (with insurance) of around £25 / £30.....................come on peeps - you know you want it............ if you want to pick it up, and save some money, I am in Maldon, in Essex...........come on!!!!!!
Kongo Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1351713781' post='1854599'] I've never seen an SR506 like this before. They all have that browny red colour now. Nice! [/quote] I reckon it's a yankee version. They have a lot more choice in finishes and fingerboards than we do. You can get these with maple fingerboards also. :-) That price is very reasonable and besides, you don't see that finish too often. Edited November 2, 2012 by Kongo
robbobass Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 Thanks man.......I just need to get rid of a few basses (have too many) ...........have a good day y'all.
mattbass6 Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Hi Robbo, what is the string spacing on this bass please?
robbobass Posted November 5, 2012 Author Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Hi Matt, the string spacing at the nut is 90mm and at the bridge 150mm hope this helps..........? rgds......robbo sorry 9mm and 15mm - doh!!! Edited November 5, 2012 by robbobass
mattbass6 Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Hi Robbo, Thanks for that mate but I'm actually looking for the string spacing. Is it 16.5mm or 17mm or even 18mm (which I doubt). Thanks for your help. Cheers, Matt
robbobass Posted November 5, 2012 Author Posted November 5, 2012 Matt - distance from 1st string to 6th string divided by 5 = 16mm is that what you are looking for?? rgds robbo
mattbass6 Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Thanks Robbo, that's what I was looking for. I thought it might have been. A real pity as the 16mm is a little too tight for me but I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. Good luck with the sale, it looks like a lovely bit of kit and great colour too. Take care. Cheers, Matt
Junglerog Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 These are indeed 16.5mm spacing. Have a free bump from me .
mikekaperys Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I can vouch for how good these basses are, its actually what I'm playing in my profile pic. They're effortless to play, they practically play themselves. Very cheap too for such a good bass!
robbobass Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 yes, but bear in mind the price I quoted originally - is pretty cheap (especially with hard case thrown in) so I wouldn't want to go below that..............? otherwise - let me know what you think?
robbobass Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 where are you based - mainland UK or elsewhere??
