gafbass02 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) With great regret, I’m selling my stock Ibanez SR500 - I call it ‘the woodchipper’ - for obvious reasons! It plays great and sounds fab, which is why it’s so worn. For a good few years it was my gigging number one, and used for all sorts of jams, open mics etc, which has left it looking very well played!! Don’t be fooled by the looks though, it’s been meticulously maintained and cared for, the neck is great and is well set up. It’s wearing a set of elixirs at the minute. There’s one dead fret up the very top of dusty end somewhere if I recall, but only with my silly low action! you can hear a somewhat muffled video of it here, back before I’d chipped quite so much of the finish off!! I’m asking £175 collected from Cheltenham sadly I cannot post. not bad considering the retail price!

gafbass02 Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 (edited) re the great basses comment with thin finishes, they are Indeed, it’s such a shame that the finish is so easily damaged. I have another which I stripped back completely. Hoping to hold onto that one. Edited April 22 by gafbass02 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkfinger Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Frankly surprised this is still here after 18 hours; were it not collection only I would have had to snap up this stonking bargain. @gafbass02 if you change you mind on that, give me a shout please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Don't need another SR... I'd get proper told off... .. i haven't got a 500... couple of 300, a 400 and a 600... It's too far! The Mahogany body perfect for a rub down and tru-oil-ing, Neck looks like the 600 with the extension and Bubinga Jotoba and Rosewood fretboard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Hmmm, it's in Cheltenham. Only half an hour away... NO NO LOOK AWAY NOW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) I've mentioned this before, but just in case ya don't know... The Mk1 Barts are a Reverse P in a soapbar, not a full width humbucker as often compared too bassed(!) on looks. Go Passive!
