Basszilla Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) Guys I've got this great ibanez blazer which i'm considering selling on. It's a really solid bass, but i've decided to go back to 2 main basses permanently, being my spector and my ripper. I really don't want to sell it but financial reasons prevail. It's the first version of the blazer with the jazz style offset body and pbass neck. It's natural ash with a one piece maple neck and black scratcher. Really good look and sound. This has a massive humbucker @ bridge position and as such really growls. It's in excellent condition for a 28 year old bass. It'd give it a 8.5-9/10 in terms of condition etc. It's been set up by Dave Dearnaley in Cardiff who changed the nut out to a brass one and polished/levelled the frets. He went all over the passive electronics as well. He really knows his stuff and said that this bass easy stands up to early p basses, rings like a piano he said. In fact he didn't want to give it back to me!! The tuners are the classic sweetheart style and are rock solid. Maximum stability. Stays in tune forever!! All in all a beautiful bass with a beautiful sound. Comes with own hardcase.

Geddys nose Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Great bass's these and like you said easy on a par with any US Precision out there, should be 3-4 times the price IMO
Guest MoJo Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Why do gems like this come up for sale when I've got no spare cash....WHY????
Bassassin Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Can't afford it or justify it atm - but these are great, best & rarest version of the Blazer, so go on & post some pics! But - "lawsuit era"? It ain't - and this ain't Ebay! Jon.

Basszilla Posted August 9, 2008 Author Posted August 9, 2008 Hehe....he's good at balancing basses on his snout ;-) Kenny. That's my old bass mate, in fact it's on some of my old demos!! Nice sounding bass that. Completely different sound on this model though...
