Pestie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) For sale my very, very lovely Ibanez SR500. I bought it from SMAZ last year and it is excellent in every way. It looks gorgeous, feels gorgeous and sounds amazing and I would say can be adopted for any genre of music. I tried an SR5000E on Friday and in [b]my opinion, and it is only my opinion[/b] this bass felt so much better. It didn't sound as rich and deep as the 5000 but the mahogany in my opinion just felt so much better than Wenge. Anyway, here are some details:[list] [*]Mahogany body [*]5 Piece SR4 Jatoba/Bubinga neck [*]Accu Cast B20 bridge [*]Bartolini MK1 pickups [*]Bartolini MK1 3 band eq. [/list] The bass is almost perfect, the only marks on the body are a little bit of a shine above the pickups where the thumb has rested. There are no dings/scratches/knocks anywhere and the neck is perfect and so fast, it is altogether lovely. I am only selling because I bought a brand new Spector Shorty on Friday and don't need two active basses. I am happy for you to come and give it any trial, it won't disappoint you. I live near Chipping Norton and you are more than welcome to try, chat and have a cuppa. Alternatively, I am happy to courier this to you. Sorry, forgot to say, I don't need any trades, I am having a clearout! Thanks for looking Mike(Pestie) [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/IbanezSR500002_zps79ae83c1.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/IbanezSR500004_zps446b229a.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/IbanezSR500001_zpscc570235.jpg.html"][/url] Edited March 30, 2014 by Pestie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madshadows Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 God that is lovely, I so wish I had the money to buy it !! GLWTS John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smaz Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yup, it's an outstanding bass for the money - very light, extremely easy to play. The only reason I sold it was because I only really play my Precisions & needed to cut the collection down. Bump from me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Bump from me I've got one of these, and to anyone considering this bass They're amazing! - Don't dawdle, buy it now before someone else does.... An absolutely superb bass, with a great EQ range and so so light and playable - the necks on these are slim and they're just so comfortable to play and such good value for that money too Good luck selling it, I'm sure you'll get a sale on here Edited February 18, 2014 by Marc S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestie Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 For sale again. I did a trade with somebody not on BC but it didn't work out and this lovely bass is available again. Mike(Pestie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Have a free bump Just because I can't believe how great my own SR500 is Honestly, if you're thinking about buying this They're absolutely lovely - it plays like it's worth more than twice that asking price!
