Oh I forgot! It’s fitted with brand new Elixir Nanoweb 105-45 which cost me £40 😁

Very cool - not seen one of these in ages!  It looks really well-built with some very nice features

Very nice - I do like an old Ibanez!

Lovely - those 'Sweetheart' tuners look great, really add to the vibe. It's in very good condition, best of luck with a sale.

Hi mate, can you tell me the weight?

Very nice - you hardly ever see 2-pickup versions of the 21-fret Roadsters. GLWTS!

[JoeEvans]

Also great that you could source replacements for the original plutonium knobs.

These era Ibanez basses are great. I heard one a few years ago and it sounded so good I had to ask the guy playing it what it was. It was the version with just the single soapbar pickup.
