FS - Ibanez Prestige BTB 1305E 5 string with HSC

[chadhargis]

I'm selling my beautiful BTB 1305E Prestige in like new condition. The case has the normal bumps and scrapes, but the bass has no flaws that I am aware of.

I just put on a brand new set of DR Sunbeams which sound fantastic.

I like the BTB and it was my first bass, so there is some sentiment to it, but I find I like a passive tone better and I've been playing my G&L a lot more. The tones you can get out of this bass are amazing, but like I said, I like the old "thumpity thump" of my G&L with flats. Just more my old school speed.

This is one of the nicest basses Ibanez has ever made. Every time one pops up, I have money tied up somewhere else. I know I say it alot, but this is a bass that I could really see me buying if it doesn't move quickly.

Wow, great price for a fantastic bass. I had the 1306E once upon a time, and I really regret letting it go.

Good luck with your sale!

It is a killer bass. I am very torn and really hate to see it go, but I simply don't play it much. A bass unplayed is a worthless bass. I'd rather see it go to a good home where it can make beautiful music versus being decoration in my practice space.

[SCMan88]

Wow!
That is one heck of a price!
I believe this won't be here for long .

Time for my allotted 24hr bump.

Bass is still here. Resting comfortably in it's case waiting for a new home.

Bump for a great bass. If you're a BTB lover, this is the premier model. I don't think Ibanez has made a Prestige BTB since this one.
