Booga13 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Again, looking to clear some space/raise some cash whilst there is a plethora of goodies I'm watching and don;t want to let escape Not had this very long and was tempted to keep this and lose the MC924 BUT there are things I want above both so: Not sure on the date, early 80s for sure, it's missing the original neck plate and truss rod cover and the head appears to have a slight twist, the neck plays absolutely fine and appears to be straight Stunning flame on the fretboard, one on the nicest I've come across, the body finish is Transparent Violin I think, not sure if that will narrow down the date for some. Everything works as it should with loads of tonal variety. Weight is 5kgs on my bathroom scales I'd prefer not to ship but I do have proper boxes if that's the only way Edited March 12, 2021 by Booga13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJ Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 The fretted sister of my 1981 purchased fretless (with maple board). Out of all the basses I've owned, the Ibanez is the only one I won't be letting go of (huge sentimental value). These basses have the best necks of any bass I've played, GLWTS.

Booga13 Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Yeah, saw that, if i had any confidence that I could play a fretless without sounding like an absolute bellend I'd be interested😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booga13 Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Also, I was asked about the twist on the head and in trying to get a good pic I think I'm seeing a slight twist to the neck, I'm adding a pic below so you can your own minds up but I can only say she seems to play just fine but might be an issue if the action is lowered further, i'll test it lower and post my results, anyways, given this new information I'm completely open to offers and happy to ship, neck off for preference.

Apothem Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I've had one in sunburst, it's been my only bass for years: a real workhorse and built like a tank. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Glad to say my fretless made it safely to Oz.... Great basses, you can understand why they have such a following. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
