Ibanez SR 1205 Premium 5 string *PRICE DROP £575* - *SOLD* £650 Melton Mowbray

[28mistertee]

Ibanez SR 1205 Premium 2014 in good all round condition, a couple of minor marks but nothing major. Really underrated basses with the Nordstrand big singles which sound fantastic. Bought beginning of first lockdown off of a fellow Basschatter along with another very similar model with the intention of gigging them both together. They work fantastic as a pair but as I haven't done anything musically other than the odd band rehearsal since Covid struck I am reluctantly putting them both up for sale. Cash on collection preferred.

I had the very same model. One of the best sounding instruments I have come across. Strongly recommended!

They sound incredible, if I was playing more I’d definitely hold on to it.

Dear Ibanez my dear ..

Always up...

[Woody1957]

Just bumping this up for Mark. I bought the SR1805 from him last week and its an incredible bass to play, fast, low action with a fairly slim neck. The Nordstrand pups are as good as anything I've heard..to my ears anyway! and I own Status/Musicman/Warwick basses..

This is the first 5 stringer I've ever owned and tbh it didn't take me long to get used to the extra string and the neck.

These basses are superbly made and this current one should be virtually the same as the one I bought so whoever buys it will be very pleased. 

Glwts Mark.....not a lot of money for a hell of a lot of bass that's for sure.

Thanks for that Steve, hope the first gig with the 1805 went well. I told you you’d enjoy it 😉 Great to meet you mate and thanks for the blinding review 😊

One of those "darn, I wish I'd never sold that one" basses... huge sound from those Nords - and killer playability!

GLFYS!!!!

I think I’ll end up with sellers remorse if things pick up again, I concur these play better than a lot of basses twice the price.

I keep looking at this. It's amazing, I just wish it was closer

[Woody1957]

I've got the other one, sounds absolutely killer and its amazing sounding and such an easy instrument to play. Mark is also a top guy to deal with and met me half way on the hand over. Try him😊👍
