For Sale/Trade: Ibanez Prestige SR3005E 5 String £650 Bridgwater, Somerset.

[Josh]

Hey Guys,

This is one of the finest Ibanez basses I’ve owned, but I just fancy a change right now. The previous owner had neglected this bass for a while, but it has since been recently professionally set up and cleaned and given a fresh bill of health by Mark at Wilts Guitar Repair. 
 
This bass is roughly 20/21 years old (going by the serial number) and as such it has seen some action. There are quite a few surface dings but nothing significant and the worst of it is on the back. The original control knobs for the bass/treble/mid/mid frequency have been replaced with newer metal ones. The playability is great with a very low action. 

All of the technical info on this model can be found here:

I haven’t got a spare case unfortunately, so collection from Bridgwater, Somerset would be preferred. I do have a spare box which I can use to send it, but I would have to the buyer to cover the cost of postage and insurance. 
 

Here’s a few recent recordings with it:

I’m open to trades for potentially a Jazz or Precision bass, Stingray, Lakland, Spector. 
 
Any questions please give me a message.
 
Thanks,

 

Josh.

I had one of these about 12 years ago. Fantastic pro level instruments! Someone is going to get a bargain.

Any dents on the back of the neck.

Also, do you know the weight please?

There are a few very light surface marks here and there on the neck but they’re barely noticeable, and a few on the top of the headstock.I could only find one little nick which is on the back of the volute. And it’s a healthy 8lb, not the weightless bits of driftwood the newer ones tend to feel like 👍🏻

8kg?

That’s 17.6lb

 

I hope it’s 8lb!

8lb!! A healthy and much more realistic 3.6kg. 

Apologies for any confusion.
