Pea Turgh Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 That looks awesome! I suspect the scratch plate is a custom affair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Conveniently doesn't show any of the details (like the neck plate and back of the machine heads) that would help track down exactly what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Did some Googling & reading, and according to Frank Meyers' 60s MIJ guitars book it's a Hoshino Stagemaster, and (unsurprisingly) not really anything to do with Ibanez. There's only one pic both online & in Meyers' book - and it's this: The bass in question is a resto, clearly identified & rebuilt using this pic as a reference: https://www.guitarscanada.com/threads/1962-ibanez-stagemaster.279600/ Not sure what it's worth but a lot less than he wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
