ezbass Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Having recently bought a Ricky and being totally sold on it, this beauty is redundant and just hangs sadly on my wall. So, therefore, it is for sale. Figured poplar top, Norstrand big singles, 3 band active, gold hardware. All in all a great guitar and über light too (6.5lbs). It comes with the brilliant Premium case, which can just about be seen pictured here: [url="http://s308.photobucket.com/user/ezbass/media/SR1605-2_zps80e20b2c.jpg.html"][/url] The figuring is very nice and plays down the 'bling' nature of the gold IMO (not a gold hardware lover myself, but on this, it works): [url="http://s308.photobucket.com/user/ezbass/media/P1100331_zpscpv3b7c5.jpg.html"][/url] Little light buckle rash on the back (it is an oil or wax finish, so can mark easily): [url="http://s308.photobucket.com/user/ezbass/media/P1100332_zpspd20qpsr.jpg.html"][/url] There is a tiny ding on the front. Now it's not the mark close to the B string anchor (that's part of the natural finish) but the mark at about 8 o'clock: [url="http://s308.photobucket.com/user/ezbass/media/P1100333_zpsds9eufjp.jpg.html"][/url] These puppies are no longer available and were almost a grand new, but, sadly, Ibanezes don't hold their value at all well from new (pretty good from 2nd hand though) so I'm pricing this to go at [s]£650[/s] [b]£600[/b] collected from Ez Towers. Sorry no trades, unless you have a Gretsch 5420T. Edited November 30, 2015 by ezbass

Woodinblack Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 They are lovely, I have one and use it all the time.

Russ Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Wouldn't mind having a go on it - I'm only in South Croydon, but I'm on holiday right now - back next week...

[/quote]How did I miss this? You're more than welcome to come over to Ez Towers for a play.
ezbass Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 [quote name='itzing' timestamp='1443352778' post='2874006'] trades + cash ? [/quote]Not looking to get more basses in I'm afraid.
ezbass Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 They are not making them with this finish anymore, so it's a collector's item now
ezbass Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 [quote name='4000' timestamp='1445287522' post='2890352'] Very nice and a great price. [/quote] It really is a lovely bass, but it's getting no use now and my rule is an instrument has to 'pay its way' or it has to move on to another home. Thus...
ezbass Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Price drop bump - no offers below this please.
Silent Fly Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Great bass for an excellent price! free bump
Woodinblack Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 That is a bargain. I would get it except I have one already and that would be a bit excessive Having said that, it would be the last one I let go, unless someone gave me a 5005!
ezbass Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 Bump for a lovely piece of kit at a bargain price - see above.
ezbass Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) [quote name='mrmcgoo1964' timestamp='1447748551' post='2909898'] Very very very nice [/quote]Thanks, it is, but I seem to just be playing my Ric these days and as I've always had a 'if it's not used then it moves on' rule, here it is waiting for a new home.

ezbass Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Having just tried to organise fully insured delivery of this beast and failing miserably, I can confirm that it is pick up from Ez Towers or meeting at a mutually acceptable half way point only.
Woodinblack Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 So what went wrong? I have done it several times.
ezbass Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Size and insurance, either too big (by 8cm) or not covered insurance-wise.
Woodinblack Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) I posted a Dingwall which was probably the longest bass I ever had. I think it was only UPS that would provide insurance for an instrument and do that size. Through interparcel Edited November 18, 2015 by Woodinblack
