    They obviously don't know what they're talking about. Everyone knows it's because the knobs are plastic. Change them to metal ones and it'll sound at least 27% better.

    Open to sensible offers.

    SOLD: Ibanez EHB1506MS for sale with upgraded John East Black Metal controls, Ibanez gigbag, ramp (attached) manual and Allen keys. Immaculate and obviously never gigged. I may regret it as this is one of the absolute best basses I've owed for size, low setup, weight, balance, sound and looks. But after 10ish years of being a purely 5 player with High C (but 15 years before that mainly 6) I've decided it's got to be a 5 string for me. I wish they did this colour/finish in a 5er. Specific trades I'm happy to consider with money my way except ANB: Ibanez EHB1005MS seafoam Ibanez EHB1005SMS green or grey (unlikely I know) Ibanez Adam Nitti ANB205 Cheers Mikey

    Likely my last lockdown purchase arrived (although a short scale EHB Ibanez has been calling...) Aguilar SL112 and SL212 in Poseidon Green.

    Oof... immediate impression is full on deep tone across the spectrum with no doubt more oompf than my old single 1*12. So who wore it best?
  6. Mikey D
    They're in the house! (But I've got lots of work to do do unboxing has to wait...)

    Thinking of next mod...keeping current tuners but wondering which hipshot extender would match closest?! Anyone else done this?

    In my possession, currently my Ibanez EHB1506MS. So comfortable to play and sounds excellent. However I really want a 1005SMS and strict one in one out agreement with wife with max 5 basses and that bass is most like the one I would like. I’m not selling my first bass (encore ltd edition precision), or GWB1 as that’s fretless duties, or my customised TMB35...so unless this one goes which is still slightly reluctant as it’s great for jazz I have no other options.

    They are wonderful basses. This is a very reluctant one in one out. If this doesn't go I may need to put my current favourite up...

    They're in the country....I almost went to pick them up today until I realised that they were at the distributor not the shop... Hopefully next week they will be in my hands.

    As soon as I have the (disposable) funds this is inbound...

    The nut is 1 13/16", the fingerboard is 12" radius and the neck is a fairly hefty round profile, but with a slight V. Almost double bass in style, and definitely much thicker than anything I play usually (I favour Ibanez basses). Some links on here have a bit more info: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/official-bolin-ns-design-info-registry.889478/ It is a wonderful bass that I know I'll regret selling but I have another piezo bass (Ibanez SRH505 which lets be honest isn't as good but wasn't as expensive) and the funds are to go to another bass of a completely different style.

    A bit of math-hop...

    I usually go for 16.5 or 17 as I also prefer closer string space, but would happily take a wider 18mm to have one of these basses.

    1990 Made In Japan red 5 string Ibanez SR885 for sale around Worthing area - don't find many around now but solid basses and a bargain price. Thought I'd give a fellow Ibanez fan a heads up. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/747806539505732/?ref=search&referral_code=undefined
  16. Mikey D
    Oh my....I want one of these so bad to fill that 'super jazz' gap in my collection. I usually favour a closer string spacing but would make the sacrifice for one of these.

    Impending purchase and wife eyes on bank funds discount - now £700...
  18. Mikey D
    Receive today and fitted to EHB1506MS. Definitely an improvement in look and feel.

    As an 80s child I have a big thing for Mike Post theme tunes and likely credit that for getting me into music overall. Other TV tunes include the unmatched children's TV theme of Mysterious Cities of Gold.... As for movies I've always loved John Carpenter that's been mentioned like Assault on Precinct 13 and Johnny Pate including things like The Taking Of Pelham 123.

    A fair and important point to consider, looks aren't everything... I had a custom dual coil Nordstramd on a GWB35 and have the EHB1506ms with big splits and an a fan of those.
  21. Mikey D
    I didn't know I wanted one of these until now. Love the thin pickup aesthetic here.
  22. Mikey D
    Also ordered! Seems like a no-brainer quick upgrade to make on the EHB1506MS.
  23. Mikey D
    Could be a 'Fender' too....says so on the bag.
  24. Mikey D
    Do they seek the flatwounds as singles? For some reason not showing up in any of my searches.
  25. Mikey D
    You know I thought they might be labella but I bought some kf them like 10(!) Years ago if not more but took theese off a bass and they've just sat around until now. It's a standard 34in precision.
