Ibanez EHB 1005 MS, Sea Foam Green Matte.

 

£850  £750  £700   £650

 

• 5 String
• Multi-scale (35" - 33")
• Headless
• 3.4kg 
• Active 3 band EQ with sweepable mids (stacked controls), pickup blend, passive switch with tone control. (And you can change some additional preamp settings internally).
• Glow fret marker stickers added (they can be removed)
• With Ibanez Gig Bag (and the Ibanez and Andertons cardboard boxes) 
• Details from Ibanez: https://www.ibanez.com/eu/products/detail/ehb1005ms_1p_01.html

 

It is in good condition and plays well, no issues, it is pretty much like new other than some light marks and rubbing on the paint making it a lighter tone above the 'Ibanez' text, it's difficult to get it to show up in photos. It was bought new from Andertons earlier this year and I still have the paperwork, finger ramp, and Ibanez cardboard box. 

 

I'd prefer pick-up (Whitton, near Twickenham) but have the boxes to post if that is needed.  Will potentially trade for a P Bass.

Apologies for the derail - where did you get the long stickers from?

They are from: https://glowtec.co.uk/fret-finders  for £10 but that is £18 once £3 VAT (which they charge at 30% for some reason?!) and £5 postage was added, all of which I thought seemed excessive for a small sheet of stickers! They are high quality though, they stick on securely and glow well so I suppose it was worthwhile.

I have both the Ibanez box and the outer Andertons box so along with the gig bag it should be well protected if postage is preferred:

I played the 4 string version of this today and was absolutely blown away by it.  The neck was gorgeous and the action was incredibly low all the way up.   I’d definitely have been tempted by this had it been a 4 string.

Nice one, yeah I'd be tempted with the 4 string version as I'm selling to go from 5 string to 4 (basically as only one song in 2x bands setlists has a single note below low E, and that's D), but I'd want a hipshot drop tuner so headless is out of the equation.

How gorgeous!

if it was shorter I’d sell a kidney.

I love the look of the neck and fingerboard! Sadly, one string too many for me.

Reduced to £650 for a quick sale as I've got my eye on a Bass so need to sell this sharpish if I'm going to get that. If that sells first then I'll put this back up to the still reasonable £700.

 

I reckon £650 is a good deal considering it is a 6 month old Bass in good condition and new ones are:  Andertons: £1,099, PMT: £1,139  Guitar Guitar: £1,139. Also, two shops have offered me £600 part exchange so I might as well go with them rather than reduce it any more (they don't have any Basses I'm particularaly after right now though).

 

My seller feedback is here:

Bargain! I’m almost tempted at this price, even though I don’t need or play 5’s! A great way to try fan frets…..
