Jigster Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ibanez-blazer-bass-custom-made_W0QQitemZ380206510076QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item588612effc"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ibanez-blazer-bass-c...=item588612effc[/url] loving the holes from what must have been the original p'guard? pretty sure most Blazer's had brass bridge - mine def has - that bridge looks pretty new - just can't see what is custom about it?

lemmywinks Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 It says "custom made" on the headstock, that's where he got the whole custom bit from! I think it looks quite nice, lose what's left of the scratchplate and it'd be a cool bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just needs a new scratchplate made. The pup's in a bit of a "swimming pool" route so would look better with a replacement. The bridge has been changed - not sure why someone would bin a cast brass one & replace it with bent tin! Still qualifies as a bargain if it stays under the ton, IMO. Jon.

Rich Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Agreed -- potentially a very nice bass there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I too agree. I like these basses & this is a potential bargain if the scratchplate is sourced from somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigster Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 well it is but just dunno how it ended up like that - i've got one exact same ie. natural finish, maple neck, and i think that's a bakerlite p'guard which mine has also, but it's the full shape not the Blue Peter cut out with scissors one there!! just puzzles me that it gets messed with like that - ho hum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'd guess that the original plate got broken or an owner thought it would look better without the full plate, as some basses do. This ain't one of them! As there are plenty of Blazer owners on BC, obtaining a template for a replacement would be easy, & making a DIY plate is a straightforward (if somewhat dull) task. If anyone here does buy it, I've got an old brass Blazer bridge in the parts box. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I like that as it is. I'd have a punt if I needed a back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
