Ibanez Prestige SDGR 54172 custom professional bass (made in Japan) & hard case

Priced to sell....need to raise funds towards buying a new car!

Stunning Ibanez "Prestige" custom pro bass. Sounds and plays beautifully, with a lovely low action, silky smooth neck and a really flexible range of tones.

This bass was previously owned (and used) by Josh Moates from Trust Company, who were a major label rock band from the USA. I understand there were only a handful of these basses produced for him to his specification. The label on the headstock reads "SDGR 54172".

I purchased it directly from the band in 2008 after they split (though they've since reformed on-and-off a couple of times).

I bought it mainly to have in my home studio, in case I ever needed to lay down some bass lines, but that has rarely happened. So the bass has been kept in its case for the majority of the time since. The top quality hard shell Ibanez flight/touring case is included.
