lowregisterhead Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) For sale is a Made In Japan Ibanez BTB1005E-OL 5-string. An early forerunner of the Prestige range, although not badged as such. In pristine unmarked condition, complete with original tags. 35" scale, Bartolini soapbar pickups and ITMB-18 18v preamp. It still has the plastic film on the battery and control cavity covers! Really lovely to play, with a great array of tones. This is not to be confused with the current Indonesian made BTB range - the Japanese made instruments are far superior IMHO. I got this in a trade not long ago, but I have another bass incoming shortly, so I have to 'rationalise' unfortunately... NOW SOLD Edited June 27, 2015 by lowregisterhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 These are great basses- my first proper introduction to a 35" fiver. A tad too modern looking for my sensibilities but a solid instrument. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've owned a few Yamahas , and I have to say this beats them all, even a TRB5Pii.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
