Spoombung Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) A fine EMG - upgraded Ibanez SR300FM in great condition for sale. Original cost was £300, with an additional £300 worth of upgrades (EMG pickups and EQ) - so it's up for sale at the price I bought it for: [size=4][b][u]£275[/u][/b][/size] which I think is a very fair price. It's a fine bass with a remarkable buzz-free super-low action and the smoothest frets I've ever seen. The Pick ups and Circuitry were professionally upgraded 5 years ago to EMG according to the original owner. The active circuit is 18volt EMG's with a P and J. The control gives you total flexibility with: P & J Blend Bass Cut/Boost Treble Cut/Boost Mid Cut/Boost Mid Sweep Ibanez SR300FM 4-String Electric Bass Features: • SR4 neck • 3-piece maple neck • Agathis body • 24 medium frets • Rosewood Fingerboard • B100 bridge • IBZ DXP neck pickup (now EMG) • IBZ DXJ bridge pickup (now EMG) • Pearl dot inlay • EQB-IIC 2-band EQ (now EMG circuitry) I'm in Greenwich, south London if you want to come around and try it out.

bassmanAzz Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I really want one of these! If only someone would buy my thunderbird :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkfinger Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Wow, that's a great price! Used to have a soundgear and it was very light and comfortable to play. Mine had the more traditional P pickup configuration. I imagine being that way around, the E and A strings sound not quite as deep/round/whatever but tighter?

flippyfloop Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Any dents on the neck. I'll probably grab this for a spare. Surely worth the price for the pickup's and EQ alone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoombung Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 [quote name='flippyfloop' post='943210' date='Sep 2 2010, 11:51 AM']Any dents on the neck.[/quote] It's practically spotless. Nothing more than a very shallow, practically invisible trace of a knock around the 12th fret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBobTTD Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 This is right lush. If I were still in the market for a 4 string bass, it would definitely be Ibanez and I would upgrade the pickups and electronics to what this bass already has. I can't believe nobody has bought it yet. Bump for a fantastic bass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass Culture Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hey, Spoombung, nothing to do with your for sale thread, I'm afraid, but I've just realised you're one of my favourite bass players! Ever since I heard 'Hoist the Levant' on some NME or Melody Maker freebie some years ago. I've coincidentally nominated you as an 'unsung bass hero' on a thread on a hi fi forum I subscribe to - so there! So glad you're still kicking around and active, as 'twere.

algmusic Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) This is my old bass and it's lovely.. just a bit more info on it.. The upgrades were professionally done by Machinehead music in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.. The guys up there know their stuff.. If I had the funds, I'd buy it back.. Damn you tax returns :-( This is a steal.. Also Just to add.. the volume control on the bass is independent on each pickup, so you can actually have full power on both pick ups Edited September 24, 2010 by algmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
