2008 Ibanez SR700 Active Electric Bass Guitar

The headstock's stamped with a 2008 serial number and it was made in the Cort factory in Korea. This guy's only very lightly-played and looks like it could be hanging as unsold gear in a larger guitar shop. It even has the cling-wrap still on on the truss cover and control covers at the rear.

I continue to be surprised at the bang for value that modern, Korean-import instruments provide. This bass handles like a fancy, boutique instrument and looks a lot like one, too. Its pickups are big-sounding and the active preamp lets you get tone from all over the map. It'll boost, too.

The owner of the instrument is moving-on to headless designs and is moving-house, too -- hence why this fella is over here for sale.

Condition notes: it's near-mint with only the lightest playwear here and there. The strings are older coated ones but they sound good though show a little wear to the coating at the usual spot (right after the fretboard extension).


It comes with: a nice hard case.
