Ibanez SR5000 Prestige Bass Team J Craft USA Bartolini Pickups, Wenge-Bubinga Neck Wenge

This is the very top bass made by Ibanez and the only pre-owned one for sale in the UK to my knowledge. 

The Atlas 5pc Wenge/Bubinga neck with KTS titanium rods provides tonal clarity and superior note attack, and its slim grip shape permits superior playability.

The Mono-rail V is the ultimate bridge for bass string isolation. Each bridge is independently and securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference. 

"The US made pickups are hand made at our factory in California exclusively for Ibanez. Ibanez was the first to ask for much deeper tone from the neck pickup while retaining a bright tone for the bridge, unlike traditional designs that used approximately equal pickup tone. The pickups are dual coil designs in several soapbar shapes, some rounded top and some flat top. In all cases, the Neck pickup tone is very deep and the Bridge pickup tone is bright. This allows the widest tonal sweep from the Blend control. Enjoy the wide tonal range!" -Bill Bartolini-

This SR5000 is part of our collection at Essex Recording Studios and has not been gigged. It has light marks on the back of the body that aren't obvious thanks to the natural wood finish. The bass will ship with its premium Ibanez Prestige hardshell case and can also be collected from our location at post code CO5 9EL directly on the A12 in Essex.
