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

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)
