Guest Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Up for sale is my Ibanez SR3006e 6-string bass This was handmade in the Fujigen factory in Japan in 2005, and consists of a 2-piece mahogany body, 5-piece wenge and bubinga neck and wenge fingerboard, Bartolini humbuckers, Ibanez Vari-Mid circuit with vol, pan and 3-band Ed with sweepable mid range that does a passable impression of a Wal, lightweight Gotoh tuners and Monorail bridge. It has some signs of wear considering its 14 years old but is in excellent condition. The wood work is superb and the wenge grain on the neck is fabulous (as is the mahogany on the body). I believe this was Ibanez’s attempt to compete with Warwick as the woods are similar, and the tone is excellent as a result - a bit darker than a Warwick but the bottom B in particular is epic - very tight sounding even far up the neck and the whole bass is even sounding bottom to top. Electronics are noise free and powerful (and the vari mid circuit is actually better imho than the current circuit in the 5000 series - more flexible). The bass comes with the original hard case which is also in excellent condition I’ve had many high-end 6-strings and this is easily as good as anything I’ve played in terms of spec, fit and finish and tone, and being rather rare it’s quite a bargain I think! Price is £650 ovno - I can post but it will be UPS with full insurance so will be at cost and extra. I’m not desperate to sell so happy to hang onto it if there is no interest. Any questions, just ask! Edited August 13, 2019 by FDC484950 Autocorrect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
