Paid £580 new from Thomman a few months ago and still mint and the Footswitch hasn't been used.
Fantastic little Amp, possibly the best micro I've owned.
Can get some pics up over next few days.
£480 sale.
Collection from Swindon.
Many thanks

Hi, its the first 5 I've owned so I don't know what its comparable to if I'm honest.
Cheers

As new, no marks etc and about 7 weeks old. I really don't think I'm gonna use a 5 string quite as much as I initially thought, and I can't afford just to have it sat there.
£SOLD

Take the plunge and you won't look back in my opinion. I have gigged with and owned Genz neox 212, Aguilar Gsx2, and a Berg CN212. All fabulous cabs, but the Barefaced BT Gen 3 for me is killer.

Wow,really? I'll have a look then. Cheers for that.
There's a little gain dial inside the bass on the preamp board, dialing it in and out should get you to your required sweet spot.

As I said above -- if you take out the existing preamp, you're left with what is effectively a knobless passive Jazz bass that happens to have a battery box (well, 2) already fitted. In theory, it will take any preamp that will fit in a standard Jazz cavity.

Thanks for that.
I guess I need to play round with the EQ a bit more. I noticed quite a big quality jump in overall tone and sound when on a gig playing between this and my USA Fender Jazz select active 4 string. It might be cheaper to go out and get a sadowsy preamp pedal and play the Sire in passive mode. I'm not saying the preamp isn't good, just couldn't really dial in a tone I was completely happy with. -

What about the pre-amp? Have you kept that stock, is there much room under the hood to fit something else?

I have the same question? -
Hi all, just wondering if anyone has swapped out the preamp and/or pickups to enhance the overall sound quality on one of these? - without altering the bass itself.
Any recommendations appreciated. I love the sound of my 4 string USA Fender select active Jazz and the quality difference is quite noticeable.
I'm a novice when it comes to this type of thing so any advice is appreciated!
Many thanks

Thanks so much for the input and recommendations guys, its greatly appreciated.
I've gone and pulled the trigger on a Sire V7 5'er which seems to have raving reviews at my kinda price point! -
Withdrawn.

Hi guys,
So I've whittled my first 5 string down to these 2 basses.
I'm after opinions from players who have owned one or both of these from playability and sound/tone perspective.
I believe the Yamaha is a 35" Scale and I prefer a 34" Scale so I'm leaning more towards the Ibanez although I've never heard one in the flesh nor can really try one out so it would be a blind purchase.
I play Funk/Dance/soul/R&B with occasional slap - so would the Ibanez cut the mustard tonewise?
Or should I deal with the 35" scale yamaha if it is in a different league?
Many thanks

Hi guys,
I'm looking to get a 5 string bass, - this after 25 years of playing 4 strings. I currently play a Fender USA select active Jazz 4 string which is the most comfortable bass I've ever owned and played. I play in a Funk/Dance covers band with occasional slap etc etc.
I'm not really in a position where I can sit in a shop for hours on end trying different basses out.
I have smallish hands - so neck comfort is vital as will be the string spacing.
Also I don't have a big budget nor want to spend a lot of money just incase I don't get on with it.
Any help / recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Max budget (at a push) is £500.
Thank you guys!!

For sale is my mint condition Streamliner 900 with the official Genz Rackmount and a 4u case.
The stock tubes were swapped out for Mullards by the original owner so it sounds nice and warm.
No issues with the LEDs on this one!
Looking for £420 sale only.
Will put some pics up soon.
Swindon based

Mint condition, just not using it.
Comes in the original box and an 18v power supply I purchased separately.
£120 posted.

Thanks

Keep changing my mind on this!
In mint condition and comes with Rack ears. Boxed as new with all the gubbins, and less than a year old. Very clean amp which can go from vintage to modern sounding via the taste knob. Fantastic little Amp and can go very loud. I am now after something else.
I am willing to trade for a Genz Benz Streamliner 900 (which must be in Vgc) + cash my way.

Thanks

Just traded a Sandberg for a Fender Jazz with Dave - he's a very pleasant chap, very easy to deal with, he was true to his word in the condition of the bass. I'm very happy and wouldn't hesitate to deal with again. A credit to Basschat - Deal with confidence!
