aldude Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Price dropped to [s]£1200[/s] [s]£1100[/s] [b]£1000![/b] [b]ON HOLD NOW SOLD! [/b] Hello Basschatters. Ibanez SR5000E Prestige 4 string bass. Not much to say about this bass really part from if you haven't held one of Ibanez's fine Prestige basses, you don't know what you're missing! This one's the top of the Ibanez SR range. This one is about 2 years old and in excellent condition. It's seen a few gigs but not so many recently after I got my Shuker. The only real issues, if you can call them that, is a few minor dings on the headstock, some scrapes on one of the pickups from the E string, and some thumb wear above that pickup which can easily be stained to fix it. The photos should show the bass in all its glory. The serial number dates this bass to having been made in June 2010, at the Fujigen factory in Japan. Fantastic bass, made in Japan, slim neck which is titanium reinforced, curved Bartolini pickups, wenge top & back to sandwich a mahogany body, great active preamp to get a massive range of tones and also a passive switch ... none of this matters when you pick it up and just feel how wonderfully made it is and what a quality bass. Here's some specs from the Ibanez page - it is still the flagship SR bass.

Cash sale only please, I was looking for a 5 but I'm sorted now! Collection from Bristol, meet within a reasonable distance or I can courier it. Edited January 21, 2014 by aldude
Jellyfish Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Lovely bass. I purchased an Ibanez Prestige 4005E off Mr. aldude a while back and it was in fantastic condition and clearly well looked after (as well as nicely setup which was a nice bonus!) Met up with him to pick up the instrument and he was great to deal with as well.
jahfish Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 beautiful! Looks like fine chocolate and I bet plays like butter
aldude Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks Jellyfish. This is one awesome bass!!!
aldude Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 [quote name='Flex' timestamp='1382533189' post='2253270'] 5 string trades only? Or 4 string + cash? Pete [/quote] Sorry, 5 string only! The reason being, I have another awesome 4 string and it would need to be something truly special to better that one or this Ibanez!
madshadows Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Lovely bass, just wish I could afford it !! Hope you sell it and get your 5 string John
aldude Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 Friday bump to share some fetching pics of this bass in action!!!
MarkusWarwick Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Any metal players, check out August Burns Red for a real idea of just how fantastic this sounds
gafbass02 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 One of the few types of basses that I've never owned but would like to. Sadly these days my funds will never ever stretch to it but that is a thing of beauty! Love the pics, so close to me too!
aldude Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys. It's truly a beautiful piece of work. Bump!
aldude Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 Friday night bummmmmmp. Offers and 5 strings considered!!!
aldude Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 [quote name='flippyfloop' timestamp='1386168771' post='2296664'] Do you know the weight please ? [/quote] Hello Mr Floop, unfortunately I don't have scales so I can't weigh it. It is an Ibanez SR though so I don't expect it could be classed as "heavy". It is very well balanced though!!
Flex Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Never known one heavier than 8lbs...ish, that's a general rule for these as far as I know?
flippyfloop Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks guys. I guessed it would be fairly light.
aldude Posted December 9, 2013 Author Posted December 9, 2013 Bump! Just taken delivery of a nice Tanglewater Contemporary J 5 and it sure is a lot heavier than this lovely Ibanez! (It's also not nearly as lovely but I was after a 5!)
aldude Posted December 12, 2013 Author Posted December 12, 2013 After a recent good experience with a courier'ed bass, I have added a courier option!
