Evil Undead Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Ibanez SR505M (mahogany/maple) I was very tempted to keep this as its such a great bass, but I've got too many really and need to move it on. I've had it from new and for a very short time and it's a really great bass - slim neck with maple fretboard, active with a 3 band EQ, Bartolini MK1 pickups, 24 frets, and the most awesome thing is, it weighs 7.3 lbs! Super light. Strung with Elixirs. The strap buttons seem very slightly loose - they seem perfectly secure but the screws don't reach a point where they stop turning. If I was keeping this bass I'd probably glue them in or replace the screws with wider ones, but whoever buys this will probably want to swap them as they're quite large (too big to fit the plastic Dunlop strap locks over). Paid £550 brand new so sale value would be somewhere around [s]£500 mark[/s]. [b][size=5][color=#ff0000]PRICE DROP £400!!![/color][/size][/b]. Collection from Gloucester preferred. Just to clarify, I know the rosewood fretboard version can be found online for around £470 but this is the maple fretboard version which I haven't been able to find online for less than £525.

fender73 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hi mate - What's the string spacing on the Schecter please? How is it for fretwear etc? Thanks mate Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fender73 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Thanks mate. looks a nice bass - i'm looking for a cheap 5'er to experiment with so this may fit the bill. All the hardware etc ok? I'm a zingy string man - will it need restringing/setting up? Is the bass active?

JFielden Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 £150 is a very pretty price, I'd be more than happy to buy it right now and walk away a happy man, but on £0 income I'll only regret it later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 What's the ding like, chief? Any shots of that. Great price on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 No rush for me. Three fine basses you have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Just like to add that the Schecter was mine until a couple of weeks ago, and is a very nice bass for the money. The ding is nothing much, and apart from that it is in really good nick. It plays really nice and would be a great buy for anyone looking for their first fiver, or a cheap back up bass. I can also say that Mel is a great person to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc2009 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Tempted on the Schecter if my Dean shifts, so might be able to help you out there! Might even be with the Ibanez instead if my Trace sells too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flazz Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hi Ms Undead, Unless you've already promised the Schecter Stiletto Deluxe to another, I'd like to buy from you. I'm ok with the £150 posted - how will you be packing/sending the bass? Unfortunately I'm too far away to collect in person More importantly though, how can I get you the money - do you do PayPal? Please let me know how you would like to do the deal. Best regards, Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
