Ibanez G105 Grooveline MIJ £1350 Buckingham, UK

[Mikey D]

 

Increasingly hard to find (rare?), I've hunted one down for years as I think they are one of the best Ibanez Basses ever made, and finally bought it end of last year. Immaculate and case also in great condition with all the case candy. Not far from all new. However 'the' bass has come up for sale which I didn't expect and regrettably this is the only way to fund it. If that bass sells, I'll take this one down. Thus sensible offers if you can move quickly will be considered.

 

I can take more pictures if needed and you're more than welcome to come and try it.

These are super rare. What's the B string like on it?

Tell me about it. Preference would be to never sell it but I can't justify it with the other bass I want.

 

B string has good tension on it and very playable. Good sound across length of neck. I have action fairly low too.

That’s a beautiful bass. GLWTS
