[b]SOLD [/b] Hi Folks Very nice example of an [b]Ibanez SRX 705[/b] 5-string thru-neck bass for sale. [b]I've just added another bass to my collection, so this needs to go now. Any interest at all at [/b][b][size=5]£225[/size] + p&p?[/b] [b]if not, Evil Bay, Gumtree and Friday-Ad beckon...[/b] [b]Photos:[/b] [attachment=109889:IMG_4426_renamed_25011.jpg] [attachment=109890:IMG_4427_renamed_19266.jpg] [attachment=109892:IMG_4428_renamed_32194.jpg] [attachment=109893:IMG_4429_renamed_20663.jpg] [attachment=109894:IMG_4430_renamed_28790.jpg] [attachment=109899:IMG_4456_renamed_1594.jpg] [attachment=109900:IMG_4443_renamed_6589.jpg] [attachment=109901:IMG_4450_renamed_20471.jpg] [attachment=109902:IMG_4451_renamed_19047.jpg] Though I've not had it long, I'd guess it's about 5-7 years old.. Nevertheless, it's in[b] very good condition[/b]; the [b]2-band e.q[/b] works fine, there are no issues with the neck and the frets have a fair amount of life left in them. It has recently been [b]set-up[/b] with a medium action and plays very nicely. It has a [b]thunderous low B[/b] on it and tonally, I would say it suits a broad range of music, though probably is more suitable for rockier styles.. There's plenty of info about these on the web, but here's some links to help you on your way: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f126/fs-ibanez-srx-705-a-680066/"]http://www.talkbass....x-705-a-680066/[/url] [url="http://www.zzounds.com/productreview--IBASRX705"]http://www.zzounds.c...view--IBASRX705[/url] [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f126/fs-ibanez-srx-705-a-680066/"]http://www.talkbass....x-705-a-680066/[/url] [b]You Tube link:[/b] [url="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&ved=0CLUBELcCMAU&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DxlCpTG_otKY&ei=B5PQT_m-H6nO0QXu8dnJCw&usg=AFQjCNEPmXrQtdFkkIwP0MXgnOmnHkeR4g&sig2=7WzfX2mKL1OguLPxj4uWWA"]http://www.google.co...KL1OguLPxj4uWWA[/url] [b]Features:[/b] Neck-thru construction 5pc.

I'd been after one for a while as I'd been hankering for a thru-neck fiver for ages. However, though it sounds pretty good to me, I just can't quite get on with the narrower string spacing, which is by my reckoning, [b]17mm at the Bridge[/b]. Because I use a Fender Roscoe Beck V most of the time and that has a 19mm spacing, I'm finding the change over at gigs a little too tricky.. So, if anyone out there is looking for one of these, I'm looking for [b]£250 + p&p [/b]for it and though there's no hard case with it, i am happy to post at buyers expense in a [b]gig bag[/b] and would make sure that it's extremely well packaged up! However, I would much rather it was picked up and tested beforehand, if at all possible... [u]Tea & biscuits provided [/u]of course for prospective buyers, who are very welcome! Please PM me if you have any questions or just post them here and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks for looking! Nik

Have a free BUMP for a very good price for a great bass! Good luck with the sale..

Great amps these; I've had two before and really liked them..very easy to use and the contour switch and boost control give you a lot of tonal possibilities. Good luck with the sale!

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1338141382' post='1670053'] Thanks Nik, shame, I work just around the corner so could have delivered as well!! [/quote] That would have been good... hopefully you've sold it now and I can stop thinking about trying fretless one more time..

Great looking bass and with the ebony fretboard, I'd say this is a bit of a bargain! Shame I don't play fretless... Good luck with the sale!

Very nice bass indeed! I had a Tobias Classic 5 about 20 years ago and it really was a fabulous instrument.. It was one of the few basses that I've had over the years that really 'sang' when you played it... it was so resonant.. And IIRC, that was what Mike Tobias was always trying to achieve with his mix of tone-woods. Anyway, I'll stop reminiscing now... Good luck with the sale and have a free BUMP!

Fine thanks Gareth.. Hope all's well with you too!

Really good video, Gareth and the bass/amp combination sounds great! Good luck with the sale... Nik

I used to have one of these which I traded some years back with the Beedster, and it was a fabulous bass... In many ways, I preferred it to a '66 Jazz I once had! Good luck with the sale; have to say that I think this is a very good price indeed!

Hi Chris, Trying to send you a PM on my Blackberry but it's playing up! If it's still available, i'm interested in the TC electronic preamp please and will contact you tomorrow when on a laptop to work out details.. Cheers Nik

+1 Stunning!

I had a Tokai Jazzsound bass some years back and it was better (IMO) than a '66 Jazz I'd had some years before... So this is a '..it's hard to believe this still hasn't sold' kind of BUMP!

Lovely Wal; and quite an early one too! There's a fair number of the early Pro Models that had replacement necks fitted and those replacement necks sported the redesigned headstock which was part of the Wal Custom range (along with redesigned electronics, mahagony bodies and laminated wood fascias).. IIRC, all the Wal Pro models were Ash bodies. It also looks to me like the bridge was changed at some point too, as most of the Pro model bridges were finished in chrome silver, whereas the Customs had the Black finish on the bridges. Best of luck with the sale!
