cetera Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 (edited) Here for your delectation is an original 'top of the range' 1991 Ibanez Soundgear SR1000 PN bass in the rare 'purple neon' (PN)/flipflop finish! The colour changes from a warm pink through purple (main colour) to a hue of blue and it looks fab under stage lights! I obtained this lovely bass about a year ago, but sadly it's not getting a look in due to my Spector fetish 😉🤦♂️🤣 Time for someone else to enjoy it! Ash body Slim and thin Maple neck Ebony fingerboard 24 frets/34" scale Accu-cast B-IV bridge Gotoh machineheads Ibanez AFR PJ active pickups Active 2 band EQ, vol & balance controls Condition is generally very good for its age. A few small scratches & lacquer chips as would be expected and can be be seen in the pics. Price is what I paid for it, which is a very reasonable *SOLD* Payment by cash on collection from Sandhurst/Camberley area... Paypal (you pay fees) or direct bank transfer. I can ship with courier of your choice at your cost (I have shipping boxes). Please see my very extensive positive feedback thread for assurance of a clean, honest transaction.

Brother Jones Posted November 1, 2024 Posted November 1, 2024 In my experience, these early Soundgears are among the best MIJ basses in existence; right up there with early 80s Arias or Tunes. Yes, the necks are remarkable, as are the electronics and the PUPs (those are genuine low impedance active PUPs). I owned an SR1000 and an SR800 at the start of the 90s and really should not have moved them on. Now actively considering where I can dredge £500 from.... 1
Woodinblack Posted November 1, 2024 Posted November 1, 2024 That looks great, if I played 4 I would certainly be looking at getting that, a true classic and cheap for what it is. 1
biro Posted November 1, 2024 Posted November 1, 2024 Incredible. I have too many early soundgears to even consider it, but I will consider it, against my better judgement! 1
xgsjx Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 Oooh. Never seen a purple one before. It’s in great nick too. My go to bass is an Ibanez SR1000 that I bought new in early 1990. Just a great feeling, comfortable bass to play. Bought an Aguilar PJ & OBP-2 off you about 1 1/2 years ago & they sound great in the SR. Whoever takes this off you won’t be disappointed. 1 1
Doctor J Posted November 9, 2024 Posted November 9, 2024 I'd love to be able to get that colour in an SR800LE 😀 1
