gafbass02 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I’m all about the active these days, after years on passive. I did break out my jazz once, and my band’s engineer told me never to bring a passive again 😅 I’ve decided just to leave the SR300 as it is now. It’s fine, just not as good as the others, but then it’s also much cheaper than the others 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Having traded my lovely Ibby SR1825 for a Berg NXT cab back in 2021, I've come to realise how much I'm missing it and how fab and relatively untiring having 16.5mm string spacing on a 5 string bass is! But trying to find an SR Premium 5er used has been quite the task! Think I may finally be about to strike lucky, yaay! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted October 2 Author Share Posted October 2 Normally there are loads around. Although I have got rid of a few of my ibbys I would never get rid of the 1605, and my Maruszczyk has a neck based on its neck, my new OLP has slightly less than 16.5 and the bongo has 17mm so they all work for me!

Al Krow Posted Tuesday at 18:34 Share Posted Tuesday at 18:34 (edited) NBD - Ibanez 30TH5PE Just arrived via an ex band mate now living up in Edinburgh - was collection only from there, which would have ruled it out for me, but a stroke of luck that I had a former bandmate who has relocated to that same city, and is also often back down in London with work.

biro Posted Tuesday at 21:34 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:34 I have the satinwood version and it’s my favourite bass of all time. Great acquisition! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh nice, that's high praise from you, indeed! There was some mention that only 15 each of the 4 and 5 string Premium editions were made available in the USA, so no idea what that number would have been in the UK? Guess I just struck lucky to find one, particularly in such good condition! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pods Posted Wednesday at 14:08 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:08 May have been mine at one point. I've forgotten who I sold it to, though Edinburgh seems to ring a bell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've forgotten who I sold it to, though Edinburgh seems to ring a bell I'd be impressed if it was, unless the guy you sold it to added an extra string! 😅 The fretboard on your old one looks amazing! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pods Posted Wednesday at 14:23 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:23 I honestly shouldn't try to speed read these days. I'm getting as blind as a bat I obviously hadn't finished paying for it at that point, so they were holding out on the B string 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2pods Posted Wednesday at 15:56 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:56 It was one of the limited 30th Anniversary jobs, with a wenge fingerboard and cocobolo top. I bought it new from Gear4Music. They also had an identical 5 string in at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
