I have a Pedaltrain nano here: the recessed area underneath is approx 30.5cm L x 9cm W x 2.5cm D. The rubber feet add another 1cm to the available depth.

For sale: Ibanez Artcore AFBV200A. Price: [s][b]£370[/b] including UK postage.[/s] [size=5][i]Bass is now sold[/i][/size] Not interested in trades at the moment. This is a four-string, hollow-body bass with a 30.3" scale neck and a "vintage"/relic finish. I bought it new about three months ago and have played it just a handful of times. No knocks, scuffs, or dings. Weight: 3.0 kg. Currently strung with D'Addario Chromes flatwounds - or I can re-install the original roundwounds (unplayed). I'll throw in a 'Tom & Will' gig bag (it has a rip on the outside but functions fine). The official Ibanez website is: [url="http://www.ibanez.com/products/u_eb_detail.php?year=2016&cat_id=2&series_id=57&data_id=61&color=CL01"]http://www.ibanez.co...d=61&color=CL01[/url]

I also use a Bass Max (installed on the normal "E" side) and no external pre-amp. +1 to the suggestion of steels - I have Golden Slaps D/G and Spiro E/A.

[quote name='90210' timestamp='1461335625' post='3033824'] I think 49 might be Eternal Triangle (in F), but the bridge does't quite match [/quote] I thought the opposite - the bridge looks correct for Eternal Triangle, but the A section is not (wrong key).

[quote name='olliedf89' timestamp='1459790803' post='3019678'] The E seems very loose which is causing it to be flappy, so it clacks against the pickup when I play, producing a pop which is really frustrating. [/quote] This doesn't address your problem directly, but in the meantime you could try putting electrical/masking tape over the pickup. This might stop the pop noise.

Price reduced to [b]£150[/b] posted. To answer some questions received here and by PM: No amp or cab was used for the recording; the bass was plugged directly into a Zoom R24 recorder. I bought the bass second-hand less than a year ago. It has hardly been played at all in this time -- just the occasional noodle at home -- which is the reason for sale. (My dreams of being the next Gary Willis have been put on hold...) Regarding roundwound marks: the fingerboard is fine. I would say there is very light string marking. I took a couple more close-up photos (link below). There is some pickup hum. I've uploaded some isolated bass tracks of the start of each take, before I began playing. Turn the volume up and hear for yourself: [url="https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByytttLU9OSveFpPMGpCTlJRazQ&usp=sharing"]https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByytttLU9OSveFpPMGpCTlJRazQ&usp=sharing[/url]

I was asked for some sound samples, so here is my best Will Lee impression... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7Iam5TnTKE Recorded direct, tone up full, with no effects or post-processing. The recordings start off mixed, so you can hear the bass in context. Then I gradually fade David Bowie out, to isolate the bass. 0:00 Both pickups 1:05 Neck pickup 2:08 Bridge pickup

[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1457648389' post='3000716'] Does it have decent acoustic volume and resonance? [/quote] No, not really. It's definitely louder than an solid-body bass. You could practise around the house unplugged - but that's about it. You couldn't jam acoustically with other instruments. Also, the acoustic tone has no depth - not very bass-y. (Just to clarify - in a previous post when I said "at home it seems to have a nice, deep tone" that was with a pre-amp and headphones.)

[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1457601764' post='2999957'] Which model is it, and how do you find the finish? [/quote] The model is AFBV200A. I think they've done a good job on the finish. They have not gone over-the-top, and the overall impression from a couple of feet away, or more, is it looks great! If you spent some time examining it really closely, you would probably know it's not actually an old, battle-scarred, vintage instrument.
