biro Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) [u][b]Sorry guys, but I now have the opportunity to keep it.[/b][/u] [color=#333333]As a result of going back to a six-stringer I am selling this. I bought it from the first owner some two years ago and never gigged it since. (I did bring to a rehearsal though.) [/color] [color=#333333]My place is not that big and I need to scale down: one must go, and, while I am kind of heartbroken about it, this one must go, hopefully to a good home. You can see / hear it in the video (yours truly playing it). [/color] [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6S8pmgfg38"]https://www.youtube....h?v=H6S8pmgfg38[/url] [color=#333333]The bass does play wonderfully. It only has the misfortune of lacking one string, or it would be perfect. This model – which is no longer in production – is factory-fitted with EMG40DC pick ups – a big step up in comparison to the Korean Bartolini pick ups you can found on current Ibanez BTB models. The neck feels amazing and the bass is perfectly balanced and quite light. And boy, the tone of this thing. [/color] [color=#333333]I am also very good at setting up guitars, and this one is set up with an extremely low action and arrow-straight neck. Honestly, it doesn't get any better than this. [/color] [color=#333333]Finally, not interested in trades at this point in time, but try me. Also, I am not really in a hurry, so -- please -- sensible offers only. [/color] [color=#333333]FORGOT: posting / shipping. I'd rather not, for the simple reason that I've never shipped anything from the UK. However, I will (at buyer's risk and cost) if needed. I do not have a gigbag that i can spare, let alone a hardshell case.[/color] [color=#333333]5pc BTB5 Maple/Bubinga neck-thru [/color] [color=#333333]Ash wing body [/color] [color=#333333]Medium frets [/color] [color=#333333](19mm string spacing) [/color] [color=#333333]EMG® 40DC neck pu [/color] [color=#333333]EMG® 40DC bridge pu [/color] [color=#333333]Vari-Mid III 3-band eq [/color] [color=#333333]889mm/35" scale [/color] [color=#333333]Width at Nut 47mm [/color] [color=#333333]Width at Last Fret 76mm [/color] [color=#333333]Thickness at 1st 20mm [/color] [color=#333333]Thickness at 12th 22mm [/color] Phone pics: [url="http://imgur.com/2hTmauJ"][/url] [url="http://imgur.com/JVDQHS0"][/url] [url="http://imgur.com/ZyHDhVm"][/url] Edited April 30, 2015 by biro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Dayum, on the lookout for a new dual humbucking black satin 5-string bass suitable for metal, then this pops up right after the Traben Chaos that I've just offered to buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biro Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 I played the bass again this morning and boy, I don't want to do this. But do this I must, I guess. Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biro Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Saturday bump! I forgot to mention that I do have the truss rod cover and screws. Also, some videos where I play this bass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6S8pmgfg38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqYti8mFA08 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEDiCy6v2iY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
