1976 Ibanez 2388B Truss Rod Cover

[Bob Haley]

I am trying to find an original or reproduction Ibanez truss rod cover for the 2388B bass.  It was Ibnez's "homage" to the Rickenbacker 4001.  Not interested in trying to pass it off as a Rickenbacker.

Thank you.

If you have the original, then you could get a custom one made up by Gig Ink. Or you could have a replacement "no name" one made.

However, it sounds as though the original TRC is missing (assuming it's been "replaced" by another TRC).

Other than the "obvious" other TRC, I would assume that original / NOS 2388B TRC's are as rare as a rare thing during a rare occurrence.

Thanks Skybone.  I do not have the original truss rod cover and I cannot seem to find someone who could make me a reproduction.

Are you a member of the Rickenfakers group on Facebook?

It might be worthwhile putting a request on there, someone might have one kicking about somewhere. Other than that, I'd suggest either trying to find a blank one or a genuine Ric one.

Here you go

 

 

my 2388 came with a rickenbastard trc fitted but this was in the case 😎

Mine came with a clear cover with white paper underneath that had the logo on so if you wanted I could send you scans or something of them to get it recreated fairly easily.
