Ibanez SR640 purple sparkle - Fujigen 2001 MIJ £200 East Herts

[Sharkfinger]

High-quality made in Japan bass. pretty certain this is the SR 640 as it has the reverse P pick up and amazing purple sparkle paintwork.

Only just bought this on eBay but unfortunately forgot to check the weight. Only 3.7 kg, but unfortunately that’s still too much for me.

I’ve given this a thorough clean, new set of strings and a basic set up. Action is lower than it was and could probably go lower. As this is a 25-year-old bass I didn’t want to push the truss Rod too much, so stopped when I met resistance.

Currently has medium gauge strings (that’s all I had to hand), but I think could benefit from a light gauge.
This has a few chips in the paintwork, but electrics works fine.

If I were keeping it, I would probably change the tuners as I think they’ve reached the end of their life, especially the D and G ones.
Included is a very high-quality hard case.

 

£200 delivered or less if you collect or we meet up in Hertfordshire or Essex.

 

would only trade with a lighter bass.

That’s pretty much what I bought it for! I’m certainly on the look out for another (lighter) one; the quality to price ratio is insane.
