How is the strap balance and the B-String tone/tension?

Balance is great, and it's a rather light bass (not sure of the weight). The bass has a pretty focused sound, and the B string fits in with the other strings - very even from bottom to top.

1305/1306 is the only Ibanez model I ever liked. Free bump for a great deal!

Wow, with lane poors too, that's a phenominal deal!

I'd snatch this up SOOO fast if I didn't need to pay off my transmission.

The bridge pickup route looks funny?

The rout is fine, the pickup is sitting in there a little off kilter. Still sounds fine.

Look, this ain't a Fodera. But it IS a hell of a deal, warts and all.

This very, very, VERY Tempting. But there is a new Yamaha TRB sreaming my name for the same price, God Damn You Ibanez!

If i had $500 that i could spend.........that would make me consider put off getting some repairs done.

Hi Jon,

WRT your Ibanez 1306. Is it 34" scale or 35"? Can't tell from the photos whether some of the controls are missing. Was there once a preamp inside?

Also, how does this compare to the current Ibanez SR506?

Thanks,

Mark

It's a 34" scale. There was once a preamp in it. The Ibanez preamp was pretty weak, as were the pickups, so they got swapped out. The preamp then went into another bass, leaving the missing controls.

I haven't played any of the new Ibanezes, but this is a really solid bass - great tone, plays well...it was pretty much the nicest one they made at the time.

As presently wired, is it just vol / vol?

Pacman, is that Ibanez audible without the preamp, and what does it sound like?

 

• 

  Pacman

• Nov 21, 2005

Yes, it's audible. It sounds focused and woody, very even tone. Good growl from the B string. I'd definately recommend the preamp, tho.

The bass is on hold at the moment.
