NBD - 1983 Ibanez RB924

[JohnFitzgerald]

I had one of these in 1983 and it was the only bass that was ever stolen from me.

For that reason alone, I'd always wanted another.

Not sure how many they ever made, but I now gather they were a 1983 only bass.

This isn't mint, but it's in very nice condition.

This is my '80s corner.

So was mine and I couldn't hold onto it at the time.

I then only got this 1987 model a couple of years back.
It wasn't in great nick, so I sent it to Toby Diggins who refinished it. It's now immaculate.

In terms of playability, I'm not sure it's any better than the Ibanez, but it has a place for all its own reasons.

The older Ibanez guitars and basses were mighty fine. I have a MC940 and it feel amazing. Someone said it felt like a Wal bass. I dont use it anymore but it sure is nice.

Perhaps I should track down another JayDee😀

Good luck with that. 

They're having a bit of a renaissance right now and the waiting list is in excess of two years.

Maybe a good time to sell !!
