    I found this under the bed the other day...I haven't used it in years, although it was a main gigging bass when I lived in Atlanta...

    Ibanez 1306 six string - around a 97 or 98 (I think). Lane Poor pickups, no preamp installed. Mahogany body, with a Wenge fingerboard over a wenge/mohogany/wenge/mahogany/wenge neck (whew!).

    Really solid tone, although I would personally buy an Aguilar OB3 preamp for it. You'd have an amazing 6 string for under 8 bills.

    Comes with a molded Ibanez case.

    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.

    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?

    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.
