Pinball Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Hi a stunning bass this in terms of sound and style and as a result of owning it I then went on to buy a 5 stringer SR3005E that has become my main bass. Since then this is unplayed. The action of this bass is amazing and it comes with an nice fitting functional case.[/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]I was planning to stash it under the bed but as my Farida Hypersonic hasn't sold yet I thought I would put it out there for sale as I have seen something else that I want. I found a post for what I believe to be the same bass here as the description fits perfectly:[/color][/font] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/174281-sold-ibanez-sr1300-japan-custom-made-w-east-u-retro-barts/page__p__1634317__hl__sr1300__fromsearch__1#entry1634317"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1634317[/url] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]"A real exotic beauty this one. The body is paduak that has sandwich layers of another wood in there too. The unbelievably slim and fast neck is a 5-piece bubinga/wenge laminated structure. The fingerboard is a highly figured wenge.[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Both pickups are the superb US Bartolini P and J type, the original Ibanez pickups are long gone as is the original pre-amp which has been replaced with an East U-Retro Deluxe (passive tone pot and push/pull for active/passive operation. You will see that there is a mini-toggle switch, this is not connected but the internals of the switch are there for any future modifications. There is also an LED holder near that switch which could be used to house part of an East BLI-01 low battery indicator or similar.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]You can see on the pictures that there is a small hole on the headstock fascia where someone had previously fitted an alternative truss rod cover. This can be easily filled and touched up if need be and if you want it done let me know.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is a fantastic instrument, is extremely versatile with the amazing P/J Barts and East U-Retro and it its very light too at 7.6 lb. It has a nice medium/low set up and it intonates beautifully. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It has those special dunlop recessed straplock and it comes with both insert parts for mounting to a strap.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]There's a tiny bit of paint damage on the tip of the headstock as pictured"[/font][/color] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/174281-sold-ibanez-sr1300-japan-custom-made-w-east-u-retro-barts/page__p__1634317__hl__sr1300__fromsearch__1#entry1634317"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1634317[/url] Edited March 26, 2014 by Pinball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
