I have an Ibanez BTB510E 4-string that I have modified. I have replaced the stock Bartolini dual-coil soapbars and 3-band preamp with Nordstrand Big Splits and an Audere Classic 4-Band preamp. I have also made a thumbrest out of rosewood, glued it between the pickups, and stained it to match the body wood.
Here are the current specs:
Made in Japan to Ibanez Prestige specs
Mahogany body with matching headstock cover
5-piece maple/bubinga neck, satin finished
Rosewood fretboard with MOP dots
Nordstrand Big Split pickups Audere Classic 4-Band preamp (18v) with
these tone controls
Upscale Gotoh mini tuners
Ibanez individual bridges
Graphite nut
Dunlop Straplok dual-design strap buttons
9.5 lbs
It would come in a
Gator Light case
Here are some pics before the mods:
I can post current pics later tonight.
This bass has two dings - one on the back and one on the side of the lower horn. I have stained both with a mahogany stain pen and you have to look for them to see them.
I'm interested in trading this for a Fender Jazz 24 (or 25) that is in great shape.
