| Ibanez instruments from the 1960s are a lot more fun to look at than they are to play. A lot of them are quirky and cool, but they're not very high-quality.
It wasn't until the 1970s that Ibanez and other Japanese brands began to build good quality instruments. They made up for lost time quickly; making excellent stuff by the mid '70s, but Ibby basses from as early as the Rhythm Maker model are more like stage props than instruments.
