Platypus Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) <<<< SOLD >>>> <<< UPDATE 22/05 I plan on dropping this bass into the Bass Gallery, in Camden on Saturday, for them to sell. Anyone who wants to try it out can do so there, though there will be a commission charge on top >>> >>> Price now £275 Ibanez 4 string P Bass Medium Scale + case Its great condition for a bass made in 1982 with barely a mark to be seen. I bought this two years ago from Geoff90Guitar and have to say its a funky little P Bass with great tone. I'm quoting from the original ad here: "Ibanez medium scale bass made in 1982 All original and sounds great Nice action, truss rod fine. Length from bridge to nut = 83cm Weight = 4kg Original Ibanez fitted case included." I'll get some photos up at the weekend - though in the mean time I've included the ones from two years ago. 26/02 <<Some new photos have added further down >> Im based in Pinner Middx. close to Pinner Tube stations. I'm also happy to ship. i’m just Looking for a sale on this one. my feedback: Edited May 23, 2019 by Platypus Selling at Bass Gallery 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 That's very, very tidy & a good price for what I think is a rare bass - to be honest I can't work out what model it is, closest comparison seems to be the RB-600, but that's from the subsequent Roadstar II range. Odd. Anyway, been thinking about a shorty & if it wasn't for the single P I'd be seriously tempted. Can never get the sound I want from just a P. Speaking of which - if it's original then unfortunately it's absolutely not a DiMarzio - Ibanez never fitted them as standard. It might've been swapped out though - easy way to check is to try an allen key in one of the poles - if it's a DiMarzio it'll be Imperial-sized, so a metric key won't fit. Sweet little bass - GLWTS!

Was curious enough to do some digging though, & Toyo would appear to be the case manufacturer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So technically still the factory of manufacture, but for the case rather than the bass 😊 Lovely instrument btw. I popped it in the 32” scale thread too.

I checked today and a 3mm allen key fit at the poles, so no DiMarzio. I’ve updated the ad to remove that reference.
