Ibanez SR800LE, Ruby Red, FujiGen, 1987/88 made in Japan, Ibanez 'Regulated Lo-Z' pickups, 3.6KG - *SOLD* £450 Bendorf, Germany

[dyerseve]

**further price drop to 375GBP** 

 

Up for sale is a nice vintage high-end Ibanez from the late 80s. Research indicates the model number is SR800LE and the serial number reveals it was made at the legendary FujiGen factory around 1987/88.

 

Features:

Offset double cutaway basswood body, bolt-on three-piece maple neck, 24-fret rosewoood fingerboard w/pearl dot inlays, Gotoh tuners, AccuCast B20 bridge, one Lo-Z J-style and P-style Ibanez pickups, volume/blend/ bass and treble EQ controls, black hardware.

 

Overall the bass is in very good condition, especially for a 34 year old instrument! All of the electronics work perfectly, as does the truss rod and the hardware - there is some minor damage to the bridge under the saddle for the e-string though - this shouldnt present a problem though as the saddle is set in the correct position for intonation so no need to move it. There are a few dings - see photos. The fretboard has been cleaned and oiled, the frets have been cleaned and polished.

Lovely ergonomic and well balanced bass. Nice and lightweight too at only 3.6kg!

 

The bass will be shipped in a Warwick gigbag, packed within a strong shipping carton. A generic hardcase can be added for a small surcharge.

 

Shipping to UK £55, EU £25 - cheaper options are available if I detach the neck and the buyer reattaches it upon arrival....

A few years ago I had the exact same bass in blue, as well as a matching fretless SR800 the same colour as this.

 

Fabulous basses and I have always questioned why, exactly, I sold them! GLWTS!

I have an LE in black and love it. Sometimes tempted to trade it but would probably regret it.

Having owned one of these right at the end of the eighties, I'd be all over this...if it was in the UK.
