  1. Oh thanks a lot! That’s so nice of you! If you do find it, just let me know how much I’d owe you and I’ll wire you whatever that is!
  2. Hi All, Putting this back for sale as I splurged on something and should not have. First things first: I am not in a rush by any stretch; The only trade I could be interested in is a Stingray (with cash my side or your side depending on whether it's USA / Sub / or a Sterling by Musicman). We can talk details via PM; Feedback thread: I am considering parting ways with this lovely Jazz. It is currently in a bit of a Studio Ghibli dress (it's tape, can be easily removed), and it plays great. I bought the body from @BaggyMan of this parish, and replaced the neck with a nice Stewmac (made by Godin) fretted Jazz Neck. Pick ups are Lindy Fralin, no idea about the hardware, but it works. The bass has a number of small dings, nothing out of the ordinary though. In the alternative, if you have a nice fretless neck that you want to get rid of, I might be tempted to keep it.

  3. Hi all, I bought an ebow, and I am not using it. Mint condition. So there you go, save yourself 30 quid on the new one, and sustain your notes forever! Comes with original packaging (not pictured because it's in a box somewhere) and a rather new 9v battery, which would not be otherwise included.
  4. Hi All, Putting this back for sale as I splurged on something and should not have. First things first: I am not in a rush by any stretch; The only trade I could be interested in is a Stingray (with cash my side or your side depending on whether it's USA / Sub / or a Sterling by Musicman). We can talk details via PM; Feedback thread: Here the old thread: Since I am buying a have bought a Prestige and another Premium, I am selling have now decided that my Ibanez Ibanez SR1205VNF Premium must go. Those who know series should know how good they are—fantastic value for the money, and beyond, really. The reason I am "upgrading", so to speak, is that I fell in love with an SR5005 Prestige and a semi-hollow body Ibanez SR30th5P. In both cases, more of a matter of tone than it is one of quality, so to speak, This is really built like a tank, and plays wonderfully. The reasons for the low price are the following: I no longer have the original case, and there is some buckle rash on the back (I'll send you detailed pics if you are interested, but it's not very easy to capture with the current light). The bass looks awesome otherwise. Also, for some reason I cannot find the truss rod cover, but I suspect it'll turn up eventually. As a plus, the bass has recently been at the luthier's and had its frets levelled and the preamp re-soldered, as some cheeky loose connection was annoying the hell out of me. I have a set of boxes from Thomann which I can use for shipping it (the usual set of inside smaller box and outside larger one). Or we can discuss the addition of a Gator hardshell case, with the caveat that it is not going to be its own original foam one. So, 500 ONO. Below is the usual blurb: Tear It Up on Ibanez's High-End Tone Machine! Boutique-quality tonewoods, hot-rodded electronics, and huge, aggressive tone -- that's what you get with the 5-string Ibanez SR1205 Premium electric bass. The SR1205 treats your ears and eyes with USA Nordstrand Big Single pickups, EQB-IIISC three-band EQ, mid-frequency and EQ bypass switches, a Mono-Rail IV bridge with locking saddles, a five-piece wenge/bubinga neck with KTS Titanium Reinforcement rods, a rosewood fretboard with abalone oval inlays, an ovangkol-topped mahogany body, and posh gold hardware to top it off. Plus, this baddie's fifth string will give you more low end to shake your fans to their very core. Attractive Ovangkol-Topped Mahogany Body Resting comfortably against your front is your SR1205's rich ovangkol-topped mahogany body. An African cousin of rosewood, ovangkol adds a nice breadth of midrange to your playing, while its cool grain pattern exudes class. Meanwhile, the SR1205's mahogany body really brings out the middle and lower end tones of your notes. Together, these tonewoods deliver a very rich and dark color that you'll love through and through. Slick Five-Piece Wenge/Bubinga Neck The Ibanez SR1205's snug and comfy 5-piece wenge/bubinga neck adds a pleasant brightness and punch to your licks and grooves. Playability is the name of the game here, thanks to the SR1205's smooth rosewood fretboard with attractive abalone oval inlays and 24 medium frets with premium fret edge treatment. KTS Titanium reinforcement rods provide longer intonation and ultimate stability, so every note makes its way seamlessly from your axe's neck to its body in smooth and uninterrupted fashion. Nordstrand "Big Single" 5 Neck and Bridge Pickups A pair of Nordstrand "Big Single" 5 pickups do this bass sonic justice, taking in its full-bodied tone and projecting every inch with plenty of presence. With this pair of single-coils, you won't find any low end mud in your signal, no matter how low you go. Three-band EQ and Bypass Switches The tone controls on this baby will give you a lot of sound-shaping power. You have bass, mid, and treble EQ controls, as well as two bypass switches -- one for your EQ, and the other for your mid frequency settings. The sonic spectrum the SR1205 yields is virtually limitless. Stable Mono-Rail IV Bridge with Locking Saddles To hold your game down, the SR1205 boasts a Mono-Rail IV bridge with locking saddles. Your strings will hold intonation for longer periods, and your whole notes will resonate in lasting sustain, which is perfect for pauses or holds. You'll be able to keep your mind focused on your playing and not your intonation, thanks to the hardware on your Ibanez SR1205! This bass is sold as a factory second for a tiny blem on the back too small to photo. Features: - Ovangkol-topped mahogany body - Five-piece wenge/bubinga neck - Rosewood fretboard with abalone oval inlays - 24 medium frets with premium fret edge treatment - KTS Titanium reinforcement rods - Gold hardware - Secure Mono-Rail IV bridge with locking saddles - Nordstrand "Big Single" 5 neck and bridge pickups - EQB-IIISC three-band EQ - Mid-frequency and EQ bypass switches - Black Tusq XL nut https://soundcloud.com/ballpointmusic/sr1205-sample
  5. Good luck with the sale. If I didn't have an SR5005 already, I'd buy one.
  6. Actually, you know what: withdrawn. It plays too well, and I am enjoying it as much as the Prestige I bought to replace it, so there is that.
  7. I’d be over it in a heartbeat if I could just manage to sell the ones I have for sale. Japanese Tunes are incredible.
  8. Alright lads, the price has been dropped to £450. I really want to move this bass as at this point I really have too many SoundGears.
  9. Monday bump with a weird sample! (Excuse the tapping overload.)
  10. No sharp edges here—it just came back from a visit to the luthier's! And I am not great rush anyways. Pics added!

  14. I always wanted to try a Thunderbird properly, so I bought this one. It is really impressive, and succeeds in the impossible quest of making me look cool. The Gibson pick ups are really something special, the neck can be made exceptionally straight, and the action can be set as low as you want, really. It is also surprisingly light, which was welcome news to me. The Gibson pick ups are growly and thicccc, and, as the video demonstrates, they oddly work well for playing Bach, which I did not expect. However, the longer I play, the more I blame it for not being a Jazz. Clearly that's not its fault, but mine—it's just that I always revert to a Jazz. So I am putting it up for sale. Nothing terribly urgent here: it's in very, very good conditions, minus a small ding, which I have endeavoured to capture in as much detail as I could. But it's really not that evident. Ideally this would be picked up from Liverpool. I don't have a case. Trade wise: I would be interested in a Squier Classic Vibe / Vintage Modified J or P. Not interested in other Js or Ps, sorry. Shipping is possible. (I have a box, not a case, but I am good at packing!) Movie on 31-05-2019 at 12.56 #2.export.mov

  16. Hi all, I am selling this Bass Vi. It is in as-new condition, with some of the plastic film still on, and it plays marvellously. (And yes, it djents.) Also, I should have taken better pictures, but natural light was not an option at the moment. The only reason why I am selling this is that I have just just found my dream Ibanez RG on ebay and, in a fit of '80s nostalgia, I pulled the trigger. So what needs must. Currently, I am in Liverpool, but I visit London and Dublin frequently. Arrangements can be made, but the shipping is on you.
  17. I am not sure I've ever been so tempted to buy something I have absolutely no real use for! I'll be watching this closely.
  18. I just sold my Spirit to Mick (overdriver). Very smooth transaction, and he actually drove all the way to Dublin. I am sure the bass is going to a loving home. Recommended!
