Up for sale is my Ibanez SR5BBLTD
This bass is nothing short of stunning! It’s unofficially known as the “poor man’s Fodera” (I have not played a Fodera to be able to compare, just stating what I have heard). It plays like butter, and the Nordstrands and preamp sound great together. And, this bass is extremely light! It literally feels weightless, to me, when I put it on.
I purchased this bass through the TalkBass Classifieds in late March. I bought it used, but in like new condition, and I’m selling it in the exact same shape in which I acquired it: Like new! There seriously is not one mark on this beauty. Reason for selling: I bought a BTB Terra Firma 6 string after I acquired this bass, and I prefer the Terra Firma, so I simply have no need for this bass.
Specs:
Here is the original ad where I bought it for more pics and description:
SOLD - Brand New Ibanez SR5BBLTD limited Buckeye Burl with amazing top
$1300 FedExed CONUS, Paypal only. Ships in the hard case in which I received it with the original tags and unopened Ibanez multi-tool. No trades please.
Also included (and pictured) is a replacement truss rod cover which I purchased to snazz up a different Ibanez that I owned, but never installed.
Thanks for looking!
