!!!SOLD PLEASE CLOSE--FS: Ibanez BTB1206 NTF Prestige 6 strings bass with Flight Case and/or Foam Case, price dropped £425 £450

[alinbassplayer]

Hey there, so up for sale is my trusted Ibanez BTB 1206 NTF Prestige, this baby has been my main workhorse for the better part of a decade.

It was discontinued a while back as they moved towards a shape with less wood and slimmer horns, which is what they use now.

I am selling as I have moved back to 5 strings and my newest acquisition has put me in a bit of a financial pickle.

This bass comes with a well-used Harley Benton(pictured) case.

As you can see in the photos the bass has some bumps and bruises. I tried to protect it as much as possible and the finish is quite resilient but they do happen, especially when gigging a lot. The only thing that I had to replace was the cap for one of the tuning pegs as i had lost the previous one, needless to say, it's still Gotoh, just a different shade as i could not find the same shade of custom satin Gotoh's

There are a few bumps on the neck but they do not hurt the playing in any way, you can't even feel them. There are pictures of all the bumps i could find. It had a professional setup done by Graham Parker in London in March of last year. It is equipped with Rotosound RS666 brights, that have been used but they have plenty of life left.

One thing i just noticed is that there might be some issues with the Neutrik jack plug, in certain positions it makes some noise, not all the time, and it might just be that it needs a cleanup. Not an issue for me, but just wanted to be open about all the kinks.

Everything else is pretty much stock on it. Will also throw in a black Levi's strap. I have used it to record my band's EP, you can hear it in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9BzOJF_OO0

The recording was done clean through a TC Electronic Blacksmith.

The details of the BTB bass are as follows:

Neck join Neck Through Neck construction 5 pieces - Maple/Walnut

Fingerboard Rosewood, medium frets, 35" Body Mahogany, top/rear Flamed Maple AA Finish Natural, Oil Finish

Pickups Bartolini Soapbar Custom American Hardware Gotoh

Electronics Bartolini HR 5.4, B/M/T with midrange selector Batteries needed: 2x9V batteries.

Neutrik Secure lock equipped Weight: 4.8Kg String spacing at bridge: 17mm 

The Harley Benton came with the bass when I got it in 2008, and it has quite a few stickers on it, on the other side, the gaffa tape is there as there are some scratches that reached the wood and it doesn't look great, but it doesn't affect the protection in any way.

Alternatively, I can throw in the Protection Racket case pictured, well used, had since about 2010, and has been well travelled, still in a good condition and very much very usable, or you can get both cases for an extra £50.

I am not looking for trades, I would prefer collection from South East London, Greenwich area, any P&P would be discussed later. At the moment just collection.

I have a cat(also pictured), not for sale and pretty much an antisocial bastard, and a cup of tea if you want to try it through my combo. If PayPal is your preferred payment method all transfer costs need to be supported by the buyer, alternatively, cash or bank transfer are accepted.

All I can say is that I will miss it but it will just sit in my guitar rack gathering dust as I am not playing it anymore and would love to know it's being played like it should. Any questions let me know
