EdLib-3 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) 1997 Ibanez TR200 Bass with 2 band active EQ (serial no: 6011374). I bought this from Japan, I've tried to find more details on these instruments, but this particular iteration of the TR200 only appears in a 1997 Japanese Ibanez catalogue, check the link for more details: http://brochures.yokochou.com/guitar-and-amp/ibanez/1997/en_22.html Excellent mid-level instrument, rare and very hard to find for sale used at a good price. No trade offers please as I need to raise some cash. Includes the following high quality upgrades: Kluson High Mass Bridge, DiMarzio Model P and J pickups, Jim Dunlop Straploks, and Gotoh GB528 Resolite lightweight tuners. Includes original Ibanez gig bag. The bass plays and sounds great, truss rod works fine and the neck is straight and plays great. Condition for this bass is very good for its age; just a small unnoticeable scuff to the finish on the edge of both the top and bottom sides of the body, and a slight bit of finish loss by the bridge pickup when it was upgraded. All unnoticeable unless you look very closely and carefully. Collection from the Preston Park area of Brighton is strongly preferred as the thin Ibanez gig bag for this bass offers very little protection and I'm not keen on sending basses that don't have a hard case as couriers won't insure them. A meet-up within a reasonable distance from Brighton is also a possibility. Here's my feedback: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/306417-feedback-for-edlib-3/ Any questions, let me know. Cheers!

soldersqueeze Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 How does the plywood body effect the weight? Also is it wired up as a passive bass now with the pickup change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is it wired up as a passive bass now with the pickup change? Hi, Plywood body makes the bass pretty light, sounds nice and resonant too. I'll try and weigh the bass on bathroom scales later on. We've got the DiMarzio pickups running through the active preamp so it's business as usual. The stock pickups were passive just as these ones are. In short, it's still an active bass.

EdLib-3 Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Weight according to my (not reliable) bathroom scales is 9 Ibs. I would describe the neck as having as a D shape. Edited August 20, 2020 by EdLib-3 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks dude. Anyone would think a global pandemic had interfered with people's plan to spend all their disposable cash on more shiny basses. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
