It's in great condition, a couple little dings here and there, and a little spot of clear coat that had chipped off on the treble side of the neck joint and is missing the back of one of the tuners which doesn't effect it at all. This bass sounds INCREDIBLE! It's controls are: -Master Volume -Passive Tone -Active/Passive Switch -Preamp Volume -6 position Varitone -Pickup selector The man who owned this bass really took some time in setting it up, action plays like a dream and it also features an 8 saddle bridge so it is perfectly intonated and also very Alembic like with a sustain block and brass bridge/tailpiece. It comes with the original hardshell case with all the latches working! For sale price: $1000 Trade value: $1200 Trade interests: -60's Fender Coronado II Bass all original in great condition -70's Fender Precision in natural ash or Mocha Brown finish -70's Fender Precision fretless with maple fretboard in either sunburst or natural ash -'76 or later Gibson Ripper in all ebony -Gibson RD Artist bass in all ebony or sunburst -Gibson EB-2 -60's Fender Coronado II guitar in Wildwood email me at tmoney61092@aol.com for more pictures/offers! ~Taylor tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 910 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Sunday, January 26, 2014 - 12:42 pm:    oh and it's not sitting on the rocks, there was a foam pad under it :D ~Taylor enzo Advanced Member Username: enzo Post Number: 344 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Monday, January 27, 2014 - 1:09 pm:    These are cool basses! tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 911 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Monday, January 27, 2014 - 1:15 pm:    Thanks enzo! I love this bass so much! But it's just getting played like it needs to! In my opinion it NAILS that JPJ and Greg Lake 8 string tone exactly! So thunderous! ~Taylor tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 913 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - 8:15 pm:    I know somebody here wants this...this bass is from the golden age of Ibanez where they handmade there instruments! The man I got it from says it rivaled his Alembic Distillate and his 70's BC Rich basses in its tone and tone options! ~Taylor tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 914 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - 8:17 pm:    Speaking of BC Rich, I'll add a late 70's Eagle or Mockingbird bass to the trade list! ~Taylor tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 917 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2014 - 12:31 pm:    bump ~Taylor tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 919 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Sunday, February 02, 2014 - 5:57 pm:    I'll entertain offers as well ~Taylor tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 920 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2014 - 7:19 pm:    bump, really don't want to have to list this on ebay...will accept offers and also looking for vintage amp trades like a 60's/early 70's Silverface Fender Bassman head with 2x12 cabinet or Acoustic 360/361 setup, don't like new amps too much ~Taylor tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 921 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Saturday, February 15, 2014 - 8:23 pm:    vintage Hiwatt bass or guitar head? ~Taylor tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 924 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Thursday, March 20, 2014 - 1:38 pm:    just a little bump, will entertain offers ~Taylor hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 1347 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Thursday, March 20, 2014 - 4:37 pm:    I have a friend who has one and loves it - whoever gets this will be psyched! tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 925 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Monday, March 31, 2014 - 8:59 pm:    really would like an RD Artist bass or the cash to buy one! ~Taylor tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 927 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Wednesday, April 09, 2014 - 8:39 pm:    Still no love for this incredible instrument? Guess I need to post a demo of it on YouTube to boost interest... ~Taylor ulli Junior Username: ulli Post Number: 17 Registered: 3-2014 Posted on Sunday, April 13, 2014 - 12:45 pm:    I played one for a year, but the Musician version with thru neck. That one is very heavy but has great sustain and an 8 string sound is very special. I was not so content with mine's E string. I do regret I sold it though. tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 930 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - 11:19 am:    another bump, the E strings on this bass are fantastic along with everything else about it ~Taylor tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 933 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Saturday, April 26, 2014 - 2:42 pm:    I'll let this go for $925 shipped, something just came up for sale so I'm motivated to sell this! ~Taylor
