Ibanez BTB 205- $90 (shipping not included)

Sign in to disble this ad
First things first: It's fretless, five-strings, 35" scale, 19mm spacing at the bridge. Neck is maple, body is agathis.

Picked this bass up awhile ago, but since I've gotten my P-Bass, I just haven't been playing it anymore. A few mods have been done to it as well. I added a Bartolini NTMB3 3-knob preamp. It's wired Volume/Volume stack, Push-Pull mids, Treble/Bass stack. The pre alone costs a decent amount, so it's worthwhile if you just want that. It has also been defretted, the lines aren't too clean in some spots but it's all aesthetic.

This bass is comfortable, not too heavy and (most importantly) not a pain to play. It's not too pretty, nor is it a high-end model, but if you want a good backup or maybe a cheap foray into the world of fretless basses, it's a good deal. I'll also add in a cheap gig bag, as I don't expect to be using that any time soon either.

As far as payment, I'd prefer to deal locally, though I'd be willing to do CONUS shipped for the price of shipping.

More pics, other things.

A few more pics, also, a list of some of the not so pretty things I may have missed in the first post:
-Mids knob doesn't match the other sets
-Truss rod cover missing
-A little bit of wear on the fingerboard
-Missing screw on battery compartment cover
-Looks like a little bit of polyurethane dried on the back.
