olliedf89 Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) [s][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]I am selling my 1982 Ibanez Musician. Owned for 18 months.[/color][/font] I am after £700 for this bass, or very nearest offer. I am interested in trades too, mainly interested in a Fender Precision with a maple fretboard in a 'sensible' colour, preferably P/J Yamaha BB's are considered too, and I wont definitely say no to other basses, so ask away. 4 strings only! I would also consider a Gallien Krueger cab, either the RBH series or the Neo series. Preferably a 115 or a 210/212 [u]THE BASS[/u] [color=#000000][font=Noteworthy-Light][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]It comes with it's original hard case and Ibanez Limited Warranty Card, signed and dated for June 1982. The electronics are all in top condition and haven't been tampered with or even looked at since I got it. There are a couple of tiny dinks on the top edge of the body (see the pictures) but nothing in any way derogatory to the appearance or playing of the bass. For something that's near on 31 years old it's in peak condition. The bass strings were new a year ago and I haven't played it much, so they are still fairly fresh. The sound is great, it has a P/J pickup configuration, with a blend, volume and master tone knobs and a passive/active switch which engages a 3 band EQ (bass, mid, treble). I'm in Worthing, near Brighton and I'm happy to drive a reasonable distance to exchange, or I'll ship if preferred, though I'll confirm prices in PM. Likely to be around £50. UK shipping only, unless you wish to organise your own transport. The price I am asking for is [b]£700 (PRICE DROP!!)[/b][/font][/size][/font][/color][/s] [color=#a52a2a][b][i]NOW WITHDRAWN. THANKS FOR THE INTEREST.[/i][/b][/color] Edited January 5, 2014 by olliedf89
White Cloud Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Oooh... had a fretless version of this back in the day. Very nice!
sblueplanet Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Great looking and sounding bass and a very reasonable price this won't be around for long.

olliedf89 Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 All these nice comments are making me sad to sell it! But I can't justify it sitting there unused! Sunday Bump!
lucatus Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 I was lucky enough to borrow one of these from my music teacher, ages ago. Still have great memories of it. Good luck with the sale!
william64 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Such a piece of art !!! I have 2 of them so I can recommend this bass to whoever is interested in. Don't hesitate!!! PS: By the way, if the new owner wants to save 100 pounds or so, i am interested in the case. Bump
olliedf89 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks for the comments so far guys. Come on everyone it's a great bass not to be missed! Bumppp!
HADGE Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 [i]iv got one of these left handed and love it never realized how good they are till i bought one i play my ricky my musicman and a usa fender also 2 warwicks and my musician sounds as good if not better than any of them bit heavey but shows the amount of work it took to make it .I took mine to be set up at my local musicshop and they all commented on how good it was .If i was right handed and looking for a fantastic bass i would snap your hand of as they are becoming a collecters item.They dont make basses like this anymore good luck with the sale someone is going to get a real bargain .[/i]
olliedf89 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 I'm getting sadder and sadder to see it go, but it is wasted on me unfortunately! Bumparoodle.
olliedf89 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Another bump. Open to most trades! Anything 4 string will interest me! Will even consider pedals... or cabs... maybe picks... hell a packet of biscuits would get my interest going at the moment. EDIT: Just to reiterate... I don't want biscuits or picks. But Gallien Krueger cabs or exciting pedals will still interest me. Edited June 22, 2013 by olliedf89
olliedf89 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 Another bump! Got some pedals for sale in the effects section too!
olliedf89 Posted June 26, 2013 Author Posted June 26, 2013 Bumpy. Had a little bit of interest, I'm sure someone wants to snap up a legendary bass for a great price!
olliedf89 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 Been getting some interest, nothings come through yet though! Here's a couple more pictures of the dents. Nothing too horrendous and all superficial! Anyone?
eubassix Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Nice example ! Different pickups /controls (I have an extra p/up selector switch) to mine (photo below) - what were the periods for the different pickup types? Edited July 8, 2013 by eubassix
olliedf89 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 I'm not sure on the different periods of production, but there seems to be some mid-late 70's early 80's and mid 80's models as well as the recent anniversary models. They are lovely basses!
olliedf89 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 Another bump, had a bit of interest already, but nothing concrete yet!
olliedf89 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 Another bump to keep her at the top. PRICE DROP to £750
sblueplanet Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Why is this bass still on here? If only it were a lefty. Have a bump for me and tell Sting to use his again for a few shows and then watch the PM's roll in.
Raslee Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I'd sooo be tempted to this bass if one of my fivers would sell
