MIJ Precision Copy (Seiwa/Ibanez) - cheap!

the art guy · #1 03-18-2013, 04:43 PM

This is a Seiwa, which was made by Ibanez in Japan - probably early '80s, as it has the same headstock and features as the Roadstars of that era. Non-original, non-matching tuners, but all else is original and works just fine. Get yourself a cheap beater, backup, or replace a couple parts and she'd be a great vintage player too! Normal player wear, with a few dings and scratches.

$140 shipped - might consider trades, but my interests are pretty narrow (and Precision-oriented).

More pics coming later - on my way to practice right now.

Weight and neck width at nut when you have a minute.
Any issues with the neck?

the art guy · #3 03-18-2013, 04:55 PM

Will get you all that info later this evening when I get back. No issues.

Cheap digital bathroom scale says 8.2 lbs. And the nut width is like a standard P neck: 1 5/8".

Here you can see the tuners better. None are original. If I were the buyer I'd replace the tuners and pickup (both work fine, by the way) and have a great playing vintage bass for not much money.

Here she is with a lawsuit-era MIJ Hohner Jazz that I've also got for sale right now. Offers are welcome on a package deal, cash or trade.

Back to the top for MIJ quality!

i wish i wasnt in canada

the art guy · #12 03-20-2013, 09:41 AM

I may end up considering Canadian shipping if it doesn't sell more locally. But there's enough interest already that I'm going to hold out for now, sorry.

Offer of $125 shipped to lower 48 will stand until it's sold. (I'll let it go for 110 locally).

There's a possible trade deal in the works on this one, but not sure yet - so until then it's still for sale.

the art guy · #18 03-31-2013, 12:52 PM

Gone in a trade.
