Ibanez Ergodyne EDA905. Luthite bodied 5-er, quirky and scarce. £200

[sprocketflup]

For sale is my Ibanez EDA 905.

I bought this a year or so ago, as I love the shape. Its just so darned comfy (even though it may not look it). However, despite my best efforts, as I mostly play 4 strings, I'm struggling with the extra board width and the extra string, and this is just not getting used.

These don't come along too often, in fact I waited over a year before I was able to lay my hands on one. The 4 strings seem to come along even less often, but I live in hope. (If there's anyone out there with a 4 string version for sale, please let me know)

Anyway some details. The body is made from Luthite, which sounds like it could play a part in a major blockbuster as some super-heroes Achilles heel. The neck is hewn from much more well known maple, topped with a rosewood fingerboard.

Some specs shamelessly lifted from elsewhere -

Body Material: Luthite[list]
[*]Bridge: Mono-Rail II with Fishman Piezo
[*]Hardware Colour: Charcoal
[*]Neck Pickup: Ibanez Dynamix Full Range passive pickup
[*]Active EQ: EQA-PZ
[*]Neck Material: 3-Piece Maple
[*]Neck Type: EDA5
[*]Number of Frets: 24
[*]Fret Type: Medium
[*]Fingerboard: Rosewood
[*]Inlay: Pearl Dot
[/list]
So this has extra Peizo pickups up in the bridge, each with its own control at the back of the bass for balancing up. There's also a pair of overall controls on the back for the overall mix, as an extra to the controls at the front.

Condition wise not to bad, there's a ding at the top of the headstock which is shown in the pics, a scuff on the top horn, a similar blemish on the bottom horn. The back of the neck has a couple of small chips in the lacquer which I could not seem to photograph. Other than that, not too bad at all.

Price = £200. I would prefer collection if possible of course, (Axminster) I'm happy to deliver fairly locally or bring it along to a gig to hand over if my band is coming near you anytime soon (here's my bands dates here - [url="http://www.cloudbustingkatebushtribute.com/dates.html"]http://www.cloudbust....com/dates.html[/url]) Postage is not entirely out of the question either.

Here's a review from some American fella that explains the set up lots better than I did - [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46LdJKrmYwU"]https://www.youtube....h?v=46LdJKrmYwU[/url]

So Batman came up to me & he hit me over the head with a vase & he went T'PAU!
I said "Don't you mean KAPOW?? He said "No, I've got china in my hand."

Not paying attention in History class never hurt me. Unlike poor Henry VIII, shot in the eye by Hitler at the Battle of Hastings.

There was a young sailor from Brighton
Who exclaimed, "My god you're a tight 'un!"
She said, "Bless my soul, you're in the wrong hole,
But there's plenty of room in the right 'un!"

Just weighed it, it weighs 3.6kg. Incredibly light for a five string.
That's fairly light for a 4 string tbh.

It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realise this wasn't just another joke...

[sprocketflup]

Ahaha! Mulling it round, trying to find a punchline..... my apologies

I keep my protein powder separate from my fabric softener but it's whey outside my comfort zone.

I was reading in bed last night and the wife whispered in my ear 'Turn the light out'.
Why?
"I want you to put it in my bum."

Thinking back, I probably should have let the bulb cool off a bit.

These cheap wardrobes really are crap.

I think that was my favourite so far - have a bump!

[sprocketflup]

So, is anyone interested in this bass? I don't want it sitting around for ever

My farmer friend asked me to help him round up his 37 sheep.

"Certainly..." I said "....40."
