    SOLD - on it's way to Poland - thanks for looking Very good condition barely used and complete with clean (though slightly dusty) original gig bag and tags and tools and user manual twin pickup passive bass, reversed precision style neck pick up and jazz style bridge pickup, poplar body, two piece maple neck with rosewood fretboard, volume, volume, tone controls, ~29" scale, original strings Plenty of reviews of these online, this colour is no longer available I believe, it's typical Ibanez quality, finish, neck profile etc.; cheap plastic control knobs but decent bridge, ideal for a guitarist wanting a bass to put down some lines or for a young person wanting to learn to play bass, could pass for new with a polish as a birthday present I got it because I was struggling with full scale bass as a learner as I have small hands and a little arthritis, not long after I got it I got a J&D miniJazz bass which I prefer the shape of so this didn't see further use, but after a couple of years of trying to learn I now find I can actually get about on a full scale instrument and I can get a preferable tone on a 34" scale instrument so instead of this gathering dust on it's case and because I still haven't got round to doing a car boot sale it's on here for sale. Price includes UPS shipping and paypal fees, if you want to try it I am in Llanfyllin SY22 5DD, £100 cash if you collect item, £120 if you pay bank transfer This is my first listing on BassChat, I have over 1000 positive feedback on Ebay including the sale of a couple of basses, hopefully this complies with forum rules

    Hi thanks for replying to my post, I'll contact Chris but I don't expect there was one, now I know how the bridge is constructed I don't really need to know anything, I'm finding for me treble backed off , bass boosted and either pickup is quite a good range of sounds for me, I just need to work on my technique as I am struggling with fret attack sound on the E string which I don't get on the other strings, I have lowered the pickups on the bass side which helped a little but it's me as much as the instrument I think as I can get a nice note some of the time but mostly the string to fret contact sounds just before my plucked sound even fretting right up, almost over the fret, maybe lowering the string at the nut a dadge will help also

    Hi I've bought a Tanglewood By Overwater Apiration Artist preloved and wonder if there was ever a proper owners manual for it - the bridge is quite something and very different to anything I've adjusted before, I figured it out but only after I lost a ball bearing Cleaned and oiled and sorted with new strings and set up nice it's very playable and balanced so comfortable, may need to lower the E string at the nut a dadge but in no rush to adjust it just yet, will play it for a while and get used to 34" scale again as I've been messing around with shorties Also I wonder has anyone done a passive/active mod on one ? It would be interesting to hear the pickups without the electronics (especially the J neck pickup) and the cavity is big enough as it's designed for the 3 way eq and this is only 2 way

    Been working through the search list and found this post https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/288849-finally-found-my-set-up/?tab=comments#comment-3097569 poster was happy with D'Addario ECB81S Chromes, I might get a set after payday to replace the RS77s

    The RotoSSound77s ring sharp initially so can't recommend them I am also looking for a good flatwound for my Ibanez Mikro Bass 28.6", 726mm scale length; Scott Whitley writes about strings on his shortscalebass.co.uk web site

    I have tried these on one of my short scale basses and they are awful, feel great, nice tension, BUT they ring a quarter or more of a tone sharp when you pluck them before settling to the correct pitch so you sound like your intonation is out and I started doubting my bass, my technique etc... I am not the only one, read what Scott Whitley has to say about them on his shortscalebass.co.uk web site where he writes about strings I have the RS88 Tru bass black nylon tapewounds on my (home made) fretless short scale and they are better, but if anyone has found a flatwound that will definitely work on a 726mm (28.6", eg Ibanez Mikro, J&D Shorty) short scale bass with good intonation and that old skool sound please post up
