Bassassin Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 All the Ibanez-branded Rick copies I've seen have checked binding, through-neck or otherwise - although I'm not sure about this one - it isn't plain; looks more like w/b/w pinstripe. I've seen that before, but not on a bass with a brand name. Interesting... This is a late (1978, by the serial) example with accurate hardware, as opposed to the Gibson-style pickups the earlier ones had. These also have smaller triangular MOTO markers, rather than the lovely full-width sparklies on the older versions. It will be interesting to see what this goes for - until recently Ibby copies commanded the highest prices, often around £500 - but that recent [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-Elmayer-4001-electric-bass-made-in-Japan_W0QQitemZ190275371858"]El Maya 4001S[/url] went for over £650. That said, the guy's limiting himself severely by not posting it. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched two really nice ones in the last couple of weeks fail to attract any interest at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I had a maple-glo version of that in 1979. £125 new, sold it a year later for £100. I was a stupid youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
