Edit: SR1825 is sold! The SR1305 is sold!
I'm selling my Ibanez Premium 'Ying Yang twins' (that's a made up name). For sale individually but a buyer wants both I will make a deal and include a TKL double gig bag ($275 value).
I utilized these basses with a regionally touring function band. They saw a lot of travel (always cased and secured) and stage use, but are very good condition cosmetically, although could use a fresh set of strings and setup to the new owner's specifications. They covered all popular styles of music and and excelled in all. These basses with the Nordstrand Big Singles are described as 'jazz bass on steroids', and that's not wrong. Tone can go from smooth and glassy slap, to thumping fingerstyle to grindy rock. Both are very light weight for a 5 string at 8.25lbs.
Ibanez Premium Series SR1305 5 String bass. $700 plus shipping (CONUS only) - SOLD!
Mahogany body, Ash top, Wenge/Bubinga neck, Panga Panga fingerboard. Fast playing, excellent feeling and great sounding bass. Nordstrand Big Singles pickups with very versatile active Ibanez 3-band preamp with passive bypass. All black hardware, which I believe was originally a Sweetwater exclusive. Has Dunlop strap lock buttons installed, but can be used with standard strap (which I did). Like the 1825 above, this bass could use new strings and a setup to new owners specs.
Included is a lightweight gig bag (not pictured).
Gratuitous bass solo on Brown Eyed Girl at a wedding on the SR1305.
Quick run-through of the various passive/active, EQ and pickup combinations of the SR1305. Sorry about the video angle. :/

Ibanez Premium Series SR1825 String bass. $650 plus shipping (CONUS only) SOLD!
Mahogany body, Walnut/Flamed Maple top, Panga Panga/Purpleheart neck, Panga Panga fingerboard. Fast playing, excellent feeling and great sounding bass. Nordstrand Big Singles pickups with very versatile active Ibanez 3-band preamp with passive bypass. Gold hardware, low gloss finish.
I originally purchased this bass from a seller who deals in professionally refurnished factory 2nds. So this bass was check over by a high-volume instrument refurbisher in Nashville prior to my ownership. It has some cosmetic blemishes, most notably some notching/scarring of the wood between the frets along the edge of the neck/fingerboard (pictured). This scarring is visible up close and notable to the touch, but in my experience is not noticeable at all when playing the instrument. The blemishes are only on the edge, the back of the neck is smooth and fast. I also had a local tech replace the volume/tone pot harness and the battery clip. At that time I had it set up by a local tech, but at this point it could use a fresh set of strings and a setup to the new owner's specifications
Included is a lightweight gig bag (not pictured).
Feel free to message me with any questions.
