    Up for sale is my 2014 Ibanez BTB 686SC "Terra Firma" single cutaway 6 string bass.

    This is a fantastic bass, with less than 20 hours of playing time on it currently.

    Here are the manufacturer's specs:

    neck type: BTB6 5pc Maple/Bubinga neck-thru
    body: Rosewood top/Ash wing body
    fretboard: Rosewood fretboard w/Abalone dot inlay
    fret: Medium frets
    number of frets: 24
    bridge: Mono-rail II bridge
    neck pu: Bartolini® BH1 neck pu (Passive)
    bridge pu: Bartolini® BH1 bridge pu (Passive)
    preamp: EQB-IIIS 3-band eq w/Mid frequency switch
    nut: BLACK TUSQ XL® nut
    hardware color Cosmo black
    35" Scale
    Width at nut: 2.12"
    String spacing - 17MM

    Ships in a Road Runner hard case.

    Don't let the price point fool you, this is a fantastic bass. Great string to string response and sustan and resonance for eons. Has a fresh set of DR Hi Beams installed on it, was recently set up by Chris at Bass San Diego.

    My reason for selling it: Getting my hands on a Spector Euro 6 and need to move this bass to make room.

    Asking $775 shipped in the US. Would consider shipping to Canada but buyer plays shipping cost difference.

    Also willing to listen to reasonable offers in the interest of moving her. Please PM if you'd like more pictures or info.

    (Excuse the cameraphone pics, I don't own a digital camera unfortunately).

    Thanks for looking!

    The following are some basic sound samples. Just a very rudimentary passage.

    The first is recorded direct into my M-Track, clean into Reaper with no effects, plugins or compression.

    The second is the BTB686SC direct into M-Track with the Ampeg SVX plugin applied in Reaper. The amp model is the SVT4Pro, cabinet is the SVT810

    You get a pretty good idea of the bass' natural growl in both clips.
