Ibanez Jazz project - now £250 - *SOLD* £400

Update: Last price drop before going on the bonfire in November

 

Ibanez Jazz bass from the 1970s for sale – not looking for trades

 

I bought this years ago and have never got around to doing the work needed and I already have a J so this isn't needed – it's not the lightest, but certainly isn't the heaviest either – I'll figure out a way to weigh it if there's genuine interest

 

This is a bit of a project as it needs a bit of fretwork at the headstock end, a new nut and the bridge pickup winding isn't connected to the output – maybe this can be fixed or maybe needs replacing – the neck pickup is working

 

The nut is obviously too low – I've put some card under the strings to tune it – open strings and intonation all fine

 

I can't check the truss rod as it needs a stubby key and the ones I have won't go in far enough and I don't want to force it and strip it

 

The action is very low and it plays perfectly up the neck although it buzzes at frets 1–3 on all strings – worst at the first, improving as it gets to the third, then all OK

 

For someone with the skills this will make a nice bass – unfortunately I have neither the skills nor the time, so its has to go 🙁

 

No case, but could be disassembled and boxed for delivery (UK sale only)

 

Cheers

Dammit. I have a matching P-bass to this.

Please don't burn it! I'll find a way before that needs to happen...

It was to do with the pickup foam on my Fender Jazz that got mixed up on here

Unfortunately for me it is really not the right time to buy a new bass whatever the price or condition. But if it can be interesting feedback, I'd find it much more tempting if you could invest in a key to check the truss rod. Depending if that works or not, the magnitude of the project changes quite a lot (eg for me if the truss rod did not work I would not know what to do with the bass, if it did work, I would have jumped at it in better times)

If I don't get any interest soon I will do that, good suggestion, thanks!
