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

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... -
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.
-
I didn't know I wanted one of these until now. Love the thin pickup aesthetic here.
-
Also ordered! Seems like a no-brainer quick upgrade to make on the EHB1506MS.

Could be a 'Fender' too....says so on the bag.

Do they seek the flatwounds as singles? For some reason not showing up in any of my searches.
-
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.

Name that string... Flatwounds. Black wrapping at machineheads. Plain on ball end. Broken G string that I'd like to replace but appreciate may also mean buying a new full set.

SOLD: Ibanez GWB35 - Upgraded with Bee Pre and Nordstrand Custom Pickup

SOLD! -
Cheers. I was playing along to it earlier so now I can see if I was right on that run!

Enjoying this, both the walking intro and the groove from 22seconds onwards.

This would suggest buying a bass from Thomann means for me as the buyer nothing has changed and THEY need to pay the VAT? If so, what are the chances of being able to buy something now which has the VAT removed (potentially incorrectly going by that guidance) and receiving the bass but then needing to pay the courier VAT which technically you shouldn't need to.

So I've been trying to sell some basses as quickly as possible as I'd love this bass, but I fear Brexit and now additional fees has meant this will likely be a no go for me. I'm gutted. GLWTS -
That's the reason I'm getting one. I'm pretty much always e-c. Never had an issue with any other nut etc.

Used but in excellent condition. Not gigged and only used in a smoke and pet free home. 2 marks present: one on back lower bout and one front/side upper bout (under where you'd rest your forearm). See photos. Slightly reluctant sale as trying to get funds for another bass by selling multiple basses but they haven't all sold as quick as I'd like. So this one being added to the mix. For that reason no trades. Bought from Bass Direct and here is their listing: Bass Direct Photos Blurb from online: The Ibanez SRH505 hollowbody electric bass achieves the ideal combination of elegance and performance. A smooth acoustic-tinged rumble awaits you when you plug into your favorite amp. Experience extreme resonance, by way of this bass's hollow construction.

For sale is my Boss GT-1B that had been very lightly used only in a smoke and pet free home. Never gigged. Pretty much as new. No box unfortunately, but manual can be found online. Not that it's really needed, so easy to use and get great sounds from. One of the best value and sounding multi effects - bought as a birthday present for me but I just don't really use any effects so it doesn't get played so makes sense to go to someone that will. Buyer pays postage. -
So I had another go at adjusting just in case I was missing something and maybe got it a bit more refined especially on the higher strings. Even though I already set I up very low when I got it, actually after also tweaking the truss rod and action more all even lower I'm even happier. They really do play effortlessly.

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2020?
Mikey D replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
So on reflection and the last thing purchased in 2020...but I wish it was the first-this K&M multi-bass stand! Before I had 3 individual stands and a few basses strewn around the room. I got a gift voucher from work for £100 and immediately spent it on this and so thankful I did. Even only yesterday my wife walked past the office/study/music room and went 'you know, I really like that stand'. She likes neatness. -
Ibanez state 18mm for the 1505MS and 17mm for the 1506MS. I have a GWB1 which is 16.5mm and there is no way this 6er is as narrow as that or even narrower. I wish it was. I'm not faulting the math, unless I'm setting it up incorrectly?
