MattyK Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Hi Bass Chatters, Not using this bass much so id thought id move it on. Here we have a lovely MIJ 1981 Ibanez Blazer Fretless. This has not been defretted - the lacquer on the neck is original and not many factory fretless versions were made. The neck is nice and straight and the truss rod moves nicely - the bass was professional set up a few months ago. The bass has a nice low action and the pups are super hot. Its aged to a lovely dark amber colour. Minor Bad Points - Some of the lacquer is worn under the strings, the scratch plate stands a little proud (although its not noticable asthetically), and the bass has a few small dent marks and the usual belt crasing on the rear of the body (pretty much what you'd expect from a 32 year old bass). Ideally id like this picked up from Wotton under Edge area - Gloucestershire. I am prepared to send the bass by courier for an agreed P+P - im happy to put it in an old hard case for delivery. Im gonna ask for [size=5][b]£295 ovno - no trades thanks.

solo4652 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Ha! Best way to get Truckstop out of bed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 ARGH!!! Why does my birthyear bass has to come up in the exact time i've spent all my funds! Are you sure you don't want trades? Perhaps a Eden D112XLTN cab? If you don't sell it until the end of the month i'll take it, you just need to sort out a way to ship it to Portugal (and make me a small discount ) But why am i iluding myself, Truckstop should have it in his hands by now...

MattyK Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys - I cant work out how to put extra photos on?? Any help appreciated - my IT skills are sadly lacking! If anyone wants pics emailed, happy to do so if you want to PM me your email address. Also im now happy to send this (ive aquired a beat up old hard case) which should do the job fine. Truckstop - if you really want a semi I have a picture of this one lying next to the fretted 81' you sold me - two in bed together!! Ghost Bass - not interested in trades thanks mate. Cheers Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Guys [/quote] I'll keep an eye on this topic then, like i told you, if Truckstop doesn't get this bass in the meanwhile i'll buy it in the end of the month. Cheers Edit: But if you do sell this one i could be interested on the '81 fretted you also have but i would rather get the fretless Edited January 9, 2013 by Ghost_Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I had a beady eye on this too. Am waiting on a sale of mine before funds are available. Alas, for me too late but well done to Ghost_bass, think you got yourself a sweet fretless! Cheers, Norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
