andy67 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Love this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-bass-guitar-made-in-Japan-Jazz-Precision/362856357170?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D51b100f29c4d4c10b3e35f2a08856732%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D362856357170%26itm%3D362856357170%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A24f0672a-2ff1-11ea-9f9d-74dbd180ae39|parentrq%3A772b741d16f0a4e922668956ff94a0ee|iid%3A1 I have emailed the seller to inform that the bass is most likely an Ibanez Blazer or Roadster. Response: Would update the add to take on board new info. Edited January 5, 2020 by andy67 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Russian Abstract Expressionist, I’d say. But definitely not Fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 It's a brutalized 1982 Ibanez Blazer/Roadster/Roadstar II. Both tragic and hilarious at the same time. The hilarity being the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleOhStephan Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Three. Hundred. Pounds. I particularly like that the "Volume and tone contols have been sealed off" but fear not, it "Plays and sounds great"... 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 I see the item is still there. Cannot believe that dude still trying to sell that poor, poor Ibanez as a Fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely! Its such a waste of an amazing vintage Jap bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Glad he has changed it. I so want to rescue it but wouldn't pay any more than £50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Not yet as still mulling over it. Lot of work required to bring that back from the grave plus not sure I could live with that headstock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just about be worth £50 for the tuners, pickup and bridge - those heart-shaped Hercules jobs are like gold-dust. All that paint would come off the body with plenty of acetone and elbow-grease & I'd be surprised if the original finish wasn't still there underneath. Not sure about the neck though, the paint & varnish on what I assume is a rosewood board might be problematic. And that headstock is grotesque - no idea what you'd do with that.

andy67 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 The pups, bridge and tuners definitely worth an outlay. It puts me right off a few other things too ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I like the paintwork but, after that, like gets on the train and leaves this monstrosity behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Now reduced to £225. Someone is going to get a bargain. Paintwork by Mondrian 😁 Edited January 19, 2020 by Dan Dare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
