So that will be perfect for me; I'm very low action oriented :-) Can we officially add his name to the list then?

Just received: " Dear customer, We are delighted to inform you that the goods you've ordered have been shipped today. Details of your order: ====================== (cut cut cut.....) "

So, moved from SR1205 to SR1605. Order submitted to Thomann. Will update on the progress.

So... when? Sorry no availabilities... next delivery November! Order cancelled. GAK you have seen my money once. Never again. I will have a chat with Thomann guys. 'Night.

I totally agree on above comments on SRA series. I'm going to sell my SRA505 as I'm buying a SR1205. You may get in touch with me if interested. Cheers, Andrea

Look in the market place right now. There is an amazing sell iff of TC and MarkBass. , it isn't myself. Cheers. Andrea

Wow - This is another great reason to be a BC member. Definitely a great pleasant surprise

Nothing arrived yet. The email said "next day delivery" but when clicked on "order tracking" the website said "within 10 working days". So it means, without doubts, that this time it will be straight from Ibanez distributir and not from the shop stock. Will let you know.

Bingo! That is exactly my impression. but I don't think ex-demo since there were absolutely no scratches on the body, nothing. Probably someone else returned it before me... the price was down to £835 while I started looking around and comparing prices, then it jumped to £949, and then went down to £835 again. This is when I bought it. So could be that is when someone else returned it back to them? But since I have no evidences, I can just say this sounds realistic but I can't prove it. And, yes, the replacement should be on its way right now.

I received the bass just last week; after two days I realized the neck had an issue and called them to arrange the replacement: you have to send it back, we will inspect and decide. The initial position from their side was "we can refund you", I told them, "no, I want a new right one"; "we have to have a chat with Ibanez, to see what they can do", "What? I tell you what you have to do: replace and send the faulty one to Ibanez, what else???". Anyway, tomorrow I will welcome the courier and will let you know what there is inside the box... The fact that is still not clear to me, is why after I bough mine, the price went up of another £110 on their website. I paid it £835, and the day after it went to £949 - [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/ibanez-sr1205-vnf-vintage-natural-flat/45301"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/ibanez-sr1205-vnf-vintage-natural-flat/45301[/url] And another strange thing is that almost all the pickups screws and two on the bridge were like oxidized... cheers, Andrea

Update on my SR1205 'saga' ;-) Bass sent back, received yesterday and long call on the issue and on my expectations: no refund but replacement with a new one as soon as possible (as, strange enough, the bass is now +£110 compared to the order I made last week on their website...). "Bear with me, let me see what I can do". Today I've received an "order confirmation" email from GAK stating a SR1205 is to be delivered tomorrow. Finger crossed, hope this is the right one.

Hi, I'm from Salisbury, can you pass me the funk cover band songs list? I'm currently playing in a rock cover band and would be nice to consider for deputy position in case calendars are not conflicting :-) Cheers, Andrea

I will add my review for [url="http://sglguitars.s5.com/index.html"]http://sglguitars.s5.com/index.html[/url] in a couple of weeks. Booked appointment for the 6th July. Cheers, Andrea

The sound of this line of basses is really great. You won't be disappointed at all.

Just a quick update on my SR1205 issue: GAK customer service guy organized the collection for tomorrow morning. But they are not sending a replacement, they want to inspect it before. then they do not have another one available in stock, so I will have to wait at least for another week. I got a fautly item from an Amazon seller and got the replacement delivered the same day, and the faulty one collected few days later. Customer first. In this case instead is "shop first, customer... maybe". So this week I'm back to my old one, this Satuday gig will be with the old one and, who knows, maybe next week willl have a new SR-1205. Hmmm.... is this the standard approach?

Hi, I've just bought an SR1205 moving from an SRA505. The difference in terms of sound and quality is massive, but: I have to return it since the back of the neck as an odd profile issue in the position between the 1st and 2nd freet. I bought it from GAK and they confirmed free replacement. I'm waiting for the details. Generally speaking the sound is very nice, very very nice and the overall feeling is good. The bag itself is very good too. but there are some other things I would like to see improved to call it perfect: 1) it makes some strange static electrical noises while playing it through the cable, absolutely noiseless using Line6 wireless 2) the action is too high for me, I will have to go to a liuthier to reduce the height at the nut since I don't want to risk it myself 3) the action at the brigde can go so low as I would. Strange that the G string saddle has been insterted 1 mm into the body while all the others are just at the surface level. 4) I don't like how the freets are smoothed on their sides since I clearly feel them on the side of the neck - they could have smoothed them in a better way 5) in the current one I have to return there are at least two frets that need to be lowered a bit 6) the pan pot makes some cracks while moving it Overall, I'm happy but I would like to have a factory quality control more sever: mine has passed all the QC inspections with that neck issue...

Hi, Did you already fill this? Thanks, Andrea
