2wheeler Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) It's time for me to move on my Ibanez BTB555. I am not playing it any more because I bought [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=87044"]Neil's fabulous Stingray[/url]. It's a great bass but I prefer the old school Stingray sound to the modern Ibanez. It's a lot of bass for the money and I think it would really suit somebody who is teaching but doesn't want to have a really valuable bass in the back of their car all the time. Or it could be an introduction to 5-string. The B string is very good, which is not typical for Far East basses. It comes with a good hardcase and the current set of Ernie Ball slinky strings. Any questions, go ahead and post them or PM me. And you can find the specifications and reviews on the internet for an independent view I bought it from Tinman via basschat's predecessor. I honestly can't remember how much I paid but it was in the region of £300 and I am looking to get the same. Here are the pictures: Edited August 15, 2010 by 2wheeler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Bump for a nice bass and a smashing fella. Good luck with the sale mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mention the Neutrik locking jack socket, which is a nice touch and very practical (if confusing to the uninitiated ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I have the 4 string version of this and its a great bass for the money, quick neck and a powerful sound if wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wheeler Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 By the way, the five knobs are overall volume, bass, mid (stacked with mid sweep), high and pick-up balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
