MartyBRebelMC Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi chaps, I'm toying with the idea of selling my 4string Ibanez SR900 and wonder if anyone has a good idea of what i should be asking for it. Its in excellent condition and has the Ibanez hardcase (this didnt come as standard). I don't believe they make them any more, its a through neck with flame maple body in transparent black and Bartollini pickups and pre amp.

geilerbass Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) That sounds about right. I think they retailed new in the region of £500-600, but second hand Ibanez SRs don't seem to be in huge demand, so £300 would seem a sensible expectation for a second hand one.

MartyBRebelMC Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks, sounds like good advice chaps, I will get my thinking cap on and see whether or not to try and sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennysFord Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I got £450 for mine this time last year,it was a nice example though and no case either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaver Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'm pretty sure I bought and then traded mine for around the £350 mark last year. No case involved, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peted Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I sold my SR900 last year for £300 (http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11355&hl=) At the time they were still in production and the SRP was £649 according to Ibanez. I bought it a few years previous new, in person, from a High Street music store for £560~ without too much haggling as it was still an awesome bass for the money. Didn't come with a hardcase and neither did I sell it on with one (but did include a strap and Grolsch strap locks!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyBRebelMC Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 you're absolutely right I should be - but I've gone down the 5 string route and it's not come out of it's case since and is too good a bass to just sit around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hold on to it, if Roadsters are anything to go by, it'll be worth more in 30 years than it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
