gs_triumph Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Original 1981 Ibanez Blazer Bass is good original condition. It's a 38 year old bass so it's far from perfect. The pickguard has been changed and the wiring/pots renewed. I still have the (cracked) pickguard that was on the bass when I bought it, complete with what I assume are the original electronics. It has character. I think they call it road worn these days. There are a few other marks, bumps and scrapes in the lacquer. The worst is some sort of damage on the back covered up by tape. It has been like this since I bought it 20 odd years ago. It looks like a shallow gauge in the wood. Currently strung with flats. Comes with gig bag. Not keen to post. Open to offers. Any questions, fire away. Edited May 9, 2019 by gs_triumph 1
Elfrasho Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 Few questions. How does it play? Frets 8n good condition? Any pics of what's underneath the tape?
gs_triumph Posted May 4, 2019 Author Posted May 4, 2019 Plays great. 😁 The frets are all in good condition. It is pretty low mileage in the twenty-odd years I've had it. I'll try to get a better photo of the tape. Its been there since before I bought it so I have no intension of removing it now. It's surface damage, like a shaving of wood has been chipped off.
gs_triumph Posted May 4, 2019 Author Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) See attached image. Hopefully that gives you a better idea. It's not even one mm deep. The tape seems to cover a much larger area than necessary. Edited May 4, 2019 by gs_triumph
timhiggins Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 These are fantastic bass's... i reckon take the tape off as it seems like perfectly acceptable road worn scarring to me 🙂 1
