FS: Ibanez SR500 £325 ono SOLD
What's Hot
For sale is my trusty Ibanez SR500.
The SR series are some of the most comfortable and versatile basses you'll ever play. Super lightweight, with a nicely contoured body shape, and thin and super-fast neck. The SR500 is one of the intermediate models in the range. It's the lowliest one in the series that gets the nice twin Bartolini humbuckers that a lot of the pricier models have, but does without the fancy finishes of the more flashy models.
Mahogany body with plain mahogany finish, a 5-piece Jatoba/Bubinga bolt on neck and rosewood fretboard. Twin humbuckers with a 3-band active EQ.
It has been gigged a fair bit, but is in excellent nick. Only major ding is on the back of the end tip of the headstock.
These are as reliable and useable a workhorse bass as you'll ever find. Built like a tank and can cover anything from jazz to rock/metal. Currently strung with a set of D'Addario Chrome Flats, which were fitted in the summer and will probably have a good few years of life left in them.
Only selling as I've bought an identical model but with 5-strings instead! Shows how much a rate these basses!
No case/gigbag I'm afraid, so collection from Tyne & Wear is preferred, but I do have a good sturdy box and packing materials if you're willing to take the risk of postage.
