Frank Blank Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Ibanez SR500 - £200 ***NOW SOLD*** This bass was purchased at PMT Southend just under four months ago, August the 23rd to be precise! It went straight to Guitar Technical Services for a full Pro Setup and has been barely played since, never gigged, played at home about three times. All the bass duties in my band are covered by my fretless or an Ibanez SRC6 so this bass just isn't getting played. No dings, marks or scratches, immaculate condition. Happy to personally deliver to almost anywhere in the UK (I like driving!). PM or reply to the post if you are interested.

songofthewind Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Nice. I’ve got one of these, and I can vouch for them. This is cheap money for a very good bass guitar. How did you get the finish so shiny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed that the finish on these and the SRC6s varies wildly, this finish is as it was in the shop but I also noticed it was shinier than other ones I’ve seen.

I've seen more than a few "factory matt finish" 500's (both the brown mahogany and the sunburst - I still own 2 of them). The finish on yours looks like someone has given it a very liberal (the whole can????) application of Pledge or Mr Sheen. (Sorry, just sayin'.) But at least it doesn't appear to have any of the finish flaking-off, which is the most common problem with that matt finish. Definitely low-playing hours on this bass and still an absolute bargain at 200 quid!!!!!! Edited December 15, 2018 by clivem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Somebody buy it, for God’s sake! It’s a bargain. Otherwise I will think I need to have it to turn it into a fretless, and that won’t end well! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
