**NOW SOLD**

Up for sale is a pretty rare beast an Ibanez Studio ST924 bass from very early 1980s, made in Japan (Fujigen). . I believe it's serial number makes it an '80 or '81. This is a pretty special instrument as it was built to live in the studio and be as versatile as possible and it was built to last and stand the test of time in a real recording environment - hence it is as heavy as cruiseship.

The controls are a bit unusual with there being a master volume but also another volume to control the gain on the active circuitry. The rotary switch switches between different tone profiles and these profiles are very close to a lot of different signature bass sounds - allowing you to dial in tones from deep reggae to Alembic-esque fusion funk to aggressive rock/metal and everything else in between. The tone control operates in both active and passive mode.

The bass is showing signs of use but not abuse - as you would expect and hope for(nothing more sketchy than a vintage bass with no signs of use IMO!) Overall the cosmetic condition is pretty decent for a 35 year old bass  - the only real damage is to one of the machineheads which has been bent as you can see in the photo - it still works though.

Electronics are in full working order as is the truss rod.

Any questions please let me know. Shipping available at buyers cost.

A golden era for Ibanez basses in my opinion; great design, excellent build quality and essentially bulletproof.  I have a 1982 Roadster RS900 which I use for practice/rehearsals mainly and the neck is straight as a dye and not even the smallest crackle from the controls.  GLWTS.

you could do it but you would need some proper tools to do it without making a mess of it. as it is its definitely a bass for someone with a strong back or who plays seated ie studio sessions...
