Woodinblack Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) Reduced to £500! Here is my Gerald Veasley 6 string Ibanez, resplendent in amber, primarily because that is the only colour it comes in. But hey, it is a detail. These are notable for having a really narrow spacing at the bridge of 14mm, which is great, but sadly for me, the neck doesn't taper as much as I would like so the neck is too big for my girly and delicate hands. I have only had a few months, but I am just not playing it, so it has to go. Played a gig with it last night, and the sound is great, has a real bite to it and quite a variation between the pickups Stats are as stock neck type GVB 3pc Maple neck body Flamed Maple top/Alder body fretboard Rosewood fretboard w/Abalone oval inlay fret Medium frets number of frets 24 bridge Mono-rail IV bridge (14mm string spacing) neck pu Bartolini® MK1 neck pu (Passive) bridge pu Bartolini® MK1 bridge pu (Passive) equaliser EQB-IIISP 3 band eq w/Mid frequency selector (push/pull) hardware color Cosmo black Note the pull switch on the middle, I didn't realise that until a bit later! Has a few minor scratches on it, nothing that really shows as it has quite a flame, but it does have a big ding out of the headstock, even bigger than the rest of my basses, and I didn't do this one, it was how it was when I got it. Will ship if you want, will take paypal or bank transfer or meet up within a reasonable distance of the somerset dorset border. Idealy looking for money as there is something I would like, but still interested in trades for 5 string basses with string spacing of 17mm or less, especially the better yamahas or spectors. Would love a shuker and happy to add money for the right trade. Not interested in 6s, not really interested in 4s unless it is something really special. Edited August 1, 2018 by Woodinblack 1
Woodinblack Posted May 7, 2018 Author Posted May 7, 2018 You know, I weighed it so that I could include it in the original post, but completely forgot to write it down. Its spot on 10.0lb on my bathroom scales, or 4.5Kg for those born after the 70s!
Woodinblack Posted May 16, 2018 Author Posted May 16, 2018 Have a bit of flexibility on the price as I will put it on eBay soon and that is a few percent off!
Daz39 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Oof, nice. Always wondered if this would suit as I have titchy hands.
Woodinblack Posted May 16, 2018 Author Posted May 16, 2018 It has narrow string spacing at the bridge end which is perfect for that, although it does have quite a wide neck as it is a 6, so that offsets it a bit! I didn't realise until I gigged it how much I relied on the top string to work out where I was.
Daz39 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 It’s basically a 5 neck with 6 strings on innit. I tried a broadneck 6 once and got stretch pains after about 30 seconds!
Woodinblack Posted May 16, 2018 Author Posted May 16, 2018 No, it is a 6 string width that doesn't get wider when it gets to the bridge , or at least a 6 string ibanez width, 5 string ibanezes are generally thinner than that. Obviously there are 6 strings that are much wider, I assume the BTBs are.
Daz39 Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Aah ok. Unique then. i’ll profess to not even knowing who Mr Veasley is!
Woodinblack Posted May 17, 2018 Author Posted May 17, 2018 I didn’t either, I just liked the narrow spacing. It’s good but turns out I don’t have a need for the high string!
Woodinblack Posted May 20, 2018 Author Posted May 20, 2018 Going on ebay later on this week so anyone want it a bit cheaper that the costs of ebay would have cost I am all ears
Woodinblack Posted June 4, 2018 Author Posted June 4, 2018 Reduced, but you know the score, you can't change the price up there!
