I wouldn't say that you really fixed the pictures issue.
Pal, most of the image hosting sites have built in resizing tools that are pretty much foolproof.
Do yourself a favor, go back there and with a little surfing I'm sure you'll find your way.
Good luck

Mista, you should know...
Prices are a must. Rules you know

"Spectors with black hardware, why are they so rare if they look so nice" free bump

Is it because of the HSC that you raised 150£ the price?

Interested in trades?

Your bass is so tempting but I've just purchase a sixer that I'm in love with and I need to reduce the number of basses that I have. Unless you want 2 fivers for your sixer

[quote]it s a Nice Bass with rare top. but i still can t play 6 strings[/quote]

Yeah, my Lakland would suit you better

Wish I could bump!

Bump

Bump!

Shoot me with offers BUMP

That's criminal :wub:

What's the scale and the string spacing?

Bump for new price, new pics and the extra pickguard

That myth has been busted by Cirruses. Still many people lives with that prejudice, which is cool for us who know the truth (read this with biblical intonation) because you can find deals like this very same one.

I agree that you should keep it but surely you have good reasons for this (otherwise you'll burn in hell)

Have a bump for a true beauty

Purchased a sweet Ibanez SDGR 5006EOL dead mint from this gentleman and everything was smooth, transparent and timely.
Totally recommended seller

[quote]I think that what the_underling means is that it clearly says "Skyline Series" on the headstock, so it it is not a US model. It was made in the Far East[/quote]
Gee, I thought that that wasn't even in discussion.
There's no such thing as a USA made 55-02. It would be a 55-94 then. That's why in this case and the 44-xx series, you don't need to state that is a skyline as you would do with the J.O., the D.J., the B.G. or the D.D.

Thanks folks, I did put in it a fairly amount of work, as it's my first time doing actual luthier's work.
The preamp, although being harnessed needed a bigger hole for the mid pot, and it fitted very tight so it was not an easy one.
The problem is that now that I'm finished I'm looking for some other things to upgrade . Eventually I'll build my own axe, but definitively need more experience for that.

Hi fellows,
I just wanted to introduce my prodigal son (in Spanish Basses are males):
[size=5][font="Impact"][color="#000080"]BTB Notorious V[/color][/font][/size]

This is my first tuning project. I bought this bass online on mid 2009, after several years of not playing a note. This is an Ibanez BTB 475; Mahogany body, 5 pc maple and bubinga neckthrough construction, Rosewood fingerboard, Mono-Rail II bridges and Mk2 pups and 18v preamp. 19 mm (3/4”) string spacing @ bridge with a very thin profile that I would describe as a bracket “(“ rather than a C. They are pretty known but I guess is important to give its specs.
This is the model numbering used in Europe. In the States was numbered as 575 with a flamed maple top although I’m not sure if the body is Mahogany too.
After some setup, the feeling and the sound of the bass really caught me. Soon after buying it I started to buy several other axes including a Cirrus fiver, an 82’ Musician and lately a Lakland 55-02 (does GAS rings any bells here?). While I dig all those basses a lot I’ve always considered my BTB as a tremendous instrument [s]for the money[/s] period.
I haven’t had the chance to try any other BTB from this very same year of production, not the same 475 nor the 675 (walnut over ash) nor 775 (poplar over mahogany). I don’t know if I was lucky and it’s just mine that sounds so great, but the tightness and depth of its tone is simply superb. Many experienced (to not say old ;-) and knowledgeable bassists including my teacher are of the same opinion. I’ve read in many places people complaining about the electronics, that they sound cheaply hi-fi and stuff like that. I was able to dial in several good tones with the MK2 preamp. That said, no doubt that the NTMB is in another league. Now the BTB growls like no other I have. It was “the” upgrade. His weakest characteristic is weight, not being an anvil at all, is my heavier bass. Unfortunately I have no means to weight it. I guess it’s around 4,5 kg (9,9 lbs).
The upgrades:
• My own designed perloid pickguard.
• Matching Pickups & Truss Roads perloid covers
• Hipshot’s Ultralight Black “Y” Tuners
• Aluminium Black Knobs a la 70’s Home Hi-Fi Amp-Receivers
• Bartolini NTMB-918F, 3 band with p/p switchable mids pot (250hz-800hz).
Obs:
The stock tuners are completely functional; I changed them just to clear some weight but mostly for aesthetics, so do the knobs.
When I purchased it, the pups were advertised as humbuckers (currently they are sold as quadcoils) but only two wires come out of them. They are dead silent but I was disappointed because I was expecting to use a switch to commute from serial-parallel-single. As I suspected, and contrary to what many people think of them just because they are made in Korea or Indonesia, they sound terrific.
To the bone, here are some more pictures and a couple of audio clips to show the tone and how it cuts through the mix. I’ll make some more when I have the time:

Could you provide the poles spacing in both as well as the screw holes? Thanks

[quote]6th photo down- of the headstock- suggests otherwise.[/quote]
Blame that on me and my 5 years old turist camera. Really, the fingerboard is highly figured, more than what I was able to capture on pictures #3 & #4, which is more the actual color. The other pictures show a pale color that is not accurate.
I took this pictures under the sun at 38ºC, so I was literaly melting. :wacko:

[quote]This instrument is not new as you are the first owner and selling it on ! As new would be the appropriate description.[/quote]
What I meant is that it's exactly in the condition that you'd receive from a store, except that it has been setup ;-).

[quote name='Machines' post='871671' date='Jun 19 2010, 02:10 PM']Ibanez should reissue them - i'd be after one if they did.[/quote]

You missed a chance to get the real deal
