King Tut Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]For reluctant sale is my [b]1976 Ibanez PJ Bass.[/b] This is very [b]heavily roadworn[/b] and has obviously had a hard life. Having said that, it's in full working order, is mostly original and plays and sounds like an [b]absolute peach[/b]. I've included a catalogue shot describing the bass here . . . . [/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][URL=http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Curvylovedog/media/Ibanez%20Catalogue_zpshhb3shnp.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u642/Curvylovedog/Ibanez%20Catalogue_zpshhb3shnp.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Sadly the truss rod cover is missing. The nut is also not original. The one on the bass when i got it had been cut too low so has been replaced and set up by Andy Viccars. As you can see from the pics it's set up with a [b]nice low action[/b], which is [b]rattle free.[/b][/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Strap pegs are the dunlop locking type.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]The pups and electronic components are original. It has had various pups swopped in and out of it so the soldering isn't original and the wiring could benefit from some tidying. Having said that, it works correctly and is not overly noisy.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]I'm not sure what it is about this bass, but it has an [b]amazing amount of bottom end[/b] when using the 'P' pickup. Roll off the tone and you're in absolute [b]rub a dub heaven. [/b]It also has the full range of tones you would expect from a PJ.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]There's a score or crack on the topside of the neck - pictured. this has been completely stable for the time I've had it - at least five years - possibly more. [/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]If your a lover of [b]black n maple[/b], like the vintage vibe and want a killer bass then this is for you.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]It's difficult to price these basses, so I've based it on what it's worth to me. I don't really want to see her go but feel the need to cut my collection down, so if she doesn't sell at this price I won't be too disappointed. Pricing at £350. UK sales only.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]The truss rod works. There are no significant dead spots. Tuners are fine.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Weight is a medium 9.2lb[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Collection from Milton Keynes is preferred. I can post at buyer's cost/risk but it would have to be through a company where I could take the bass to their delivery point.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]The only trade I'd consider would be for a Warwick Fortress.

JimBobTTD Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) My first bass was this model...and I still have it! I can understand the roadworn condition - these things are workhorses. Edited July 24, 2016 by JimBobTTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
