SOLD 1/21 PRICE DROP - Ibanez BTB33 Volo 5 String E to C 33" Scale-Bartolinis

PRICE DROP 1/21/18 - Now $575 plus shipping.

I've really had a great time with this bass, the 33" scale and E up to C stringing have been great for my creativity and a perfect fit physically & ergonomically. Because of this I'm in the process of moving more toward 33" basses and lucked into a custom made fiver which is an upgrade over this one. It's not as comfortable to play, and in many ways doesn't 'fit and feel' as good as this one...but I don't play five strings often enough to have two that are so similar. So off she goes.

In really clean condition, can't find a blemish on it and haven't put any player wear on it really. The pickups are nice and articulate, the 3 band EQ with mid selector does its job well. Easy and full access to all 24 frets. The neck profile is amazing, feels almost like a 4 banger up on the first few frets but somehow you don't get crowded, and string spacing at the bridge (inset and isolated string to string) spreads out to 17.5mm (again, feels more spacious somehow). I removed the ramp as I never could get used to them but will reinstall or just ship with the bass, your choice. Also I took the truss rod cover (double rods) off for quicker adjusting & will also replace/include.

$650 $599 $575 plus shipping, prefer to keep this domestic since I can't remove the neck and the box will be correspondingly big. Might consider Canada if the dimensions allow. I will pack well but can enclose in a no-name gig bag for an additional $20 if you like. Comes with some fairly new nickel rounds, $30 more will get you a set of almost new TI flats with a TI 'C' up top even (I will sell separately if buyer doesn't want them). Pics follow. I can take additional close ups, etc. on request. PM with inquiries. Thanks TB.

The full diameter wound portion of the low E just meets the post but doesn’t wrap around...here’s a closeup;
