FS/FT Ibanez Sr885 Japan 5string bass with Ken Smith pickups and preamp

[cliff78]

Im selling this bass for $475 plus shipping. I accept Paypal. Im willing to trade down plus cash on your end. It has alot of dings and scratches. There is also a hole with no pot and another hole that was not drilled in properly. This bass is also missing a jazz pickup. I opted not to put any because it already sounds good without it. Its up to you if you wanna put one. Seymour duncan has an exact fit. I can also send detailed pictures of the dings for those who are interested. I was the one who did the wiring. I think i did it pretty well. Neck is straight. Will ship with a Thick padded Warwick Rockbag. Here are some of the specs

- Ken Smith pickups (wired in parallel but you can use dpdt switches for coil switching)
- Ken Smith preamp volume (active/passive) ,blend, concentric bass/treble boost and cut
- Wilkinson bridge (adjustable)
- Gotoh tuners

Circuit alone is $180 when you buy it new from Ken Smith
Pickups alone are $300/set when you buy it new from Ken Smith

Here is a video and sound clip off my bass using a small speaker

Thanks xhawk5. I just used some small 5inch speakers on that, I tried it on a Markbass 2x10 & 1x15 set up and the sound was huge.

Dang, that price is probably worth the electronics/hardware alone...

string spacing?

16.5 mm when the saddles are next to each other, but its still adjustable to make it wider than that. you can set it up as far as edge of the fret board goes. I think the widest it can go is 17mm. Im not sure though. But definitely wider than 16.5mm
