*** SOLD *** 1994 MIJ Ibanez SR 890 with Wilde (Bill Lawrence) PJ set £300 £250 with pickups or £200 £150 without pickups Moving on my Ibanez SR 890 to raise funds for a Jazz V my crappy L-1000 / Precision build. This bass has a lovely thin and fast neck, but I find it's a little too slim to be comfortable for my hands, which are more used to Fender dimensions. When I bought it the stock active pickups had some issues and the preamp was noisy (and on closer inspection, corroded) So I replaced the pickups and preamp with a Wilde PJ set, currently wired passive as 2 x volume + 1 x tone. The Wildes have a very clear and bright sound which I found to be a big improvement on the stock pickups. The sale will include the original active pickups, preamp, and knobs. The installation was a bit challenging for my limited skills, as the pickups are a tight fit to the routes, and my soldering is not the best.. it all works but might not be pretty! As you will see this wiring has left a spare hole for a pot. My plan was to hook up a G&L style low cut, but as it's a work in progress I'm selling it as a kind of "project" bass, which I hope the asking price reflects. If you had different pickups in mind I'm happy to keep the Wildes for something else and sell for £250. The knobs were custom ordered from Xentric Guitars - I have a second small pot which will be included in the sale. The neck is shimmed to get the action lower - it's good where it is, but the bass side of the bridge is down as low as it will go. General condition is very good - there is some light finish scratching and a few small dings / marks as you would expect on a 30+ year old instrument. Some fret wear but plenty of life left in the frets. Includes an Ibanez gig bag.

What a lovely bitsa - look at that big slab rosewood!

I can only assume Andertons sold them off at or near to cost.. maybe they needed the warehouse space?

I have my eye on something else, so this Soloking is for sale on the one-in, one-out protocol! Purchased in the Andertons blowout sale and basically as new. Just a few hours of bedroom play, never gigged. No notable damage that I can see. I changed the strings, lowered the action slightly and oiled the fretboard. Pickguard is still covered. As you can see I still have the Andertons box + inner box so it can be couriered. Happy to send via Parcelforce with their standard cover - buyer pays actual shipping, which should be under £20. Or you can sort out your own courier. £100 is firm payable in cash or bank transfer (no Paypal). I paid £150 new in the blowout sale so I think 2/3 is fair. Absolutely stonking bass for the money.
