Ibanez ATK805E Premium 5-string (SOLD) £550

Ibanez ATK805E Premium 5-string

For sale only, at £550 (edit 29th June: now sold) collected from south-west London, or possibly meet up halfway somewhere in the south-east.

Afraid no postage for the time being as have no suitable hard case.  However, I am travelling to Birmingham this Saturday (30th June) and will be in Bristol in July, so could meet up if you're along the M4, M40, or lower part of the M1.

I bought this bass from someone who bought it from Dave Swift (Jools Holland's bassist), who imported it from the USA.

Very versatile with the two pickups and the three-way switch.  Gets a Stingray sound for sure, and also close to a P and J.

Controls are:

• Pots: volume, pickup balance, active 3-band eq.
• Then there is also a three-way bridge pickup character switch.

Pickups are curved to match the neck radius. The neck is a "CAP Sonic Arch5" and the bridge is a "CAP Double Humbucker".

Weight: approx 4.2 kg, and balances very nicely.

Couple of small scratches -- please study the photos.  Happy to provide further photos or details of any area.

• Body: ash
• Fretboard: maple
• Scale: 34"
• Frets: 22 medium frets with "Premium Fret Edge Treatment: processed to be specially rounded for smooth play and comfortable neck grip"
• Bridge: ATK5 bridge, 18mm spacing
• Nut width: 45mm
• Neck radius: 305mm (12")
• Machine heads: Hipshot

I have been dreaming about one of these coming up, stunning bass, amazing tone.  As always the first post on something is a big fish tale, as I really can not afford it.
