Details

Hello gents!

I got this bass from Tim (heb2_98) here on TB, and it's been everything he said it would be. It balances well, plays very smoothly, and sounds fantastic!

Unfortunately, I'm in the throes of marrying a Mexican girl, and the government finds any and every excuse it can to charge us hundreds and hundreds of dollars for her visa processing, so this has to move. :rollno:

(Though, I suppose it's kind of fitting that I'm letting an "Ibanez" go for that cause, right?)

If you have any questions on specs, don't hesitate to ask. $950 will get this to your doorstep in a snug hardshell Ibanez case!

Thanks for looking guys!

Luke

yeah, but with hispanic roots...wiki pwns you, sir!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibanez
wiki said:
The Hoshino Gakki company began in 1908 as the musical instrument sales division of the Hoshino Shoten, a bookstore company. The Ibanez brand name dates back to 1929 when Hoshino Gakki began importing Salvador Ibáñez guitars from Spain. When the "Salvador Ibáñez" workshop was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, the "Ibanez Salvador" guitars were no longer available, so Hoshino Gakki bought the "Ibanez Salvador" brand name rights and started making Spanish acoustic guitars in 1935, at first using the "Ibanez Salvador" brand name, and then later using the "Ibanez" brand name [1].

I don't think that he wrote the wiki thing...
Many Japanese brands were of Spanish origin like Greco, Fernandes (Fernandez), Ibanez (the original name should be Ibañez) and so on. They were licensed factories of classic Spanish guitar making until the events made them into the electric market.

Haha, yes, HappyFace got the reference. Selling a hispanic brand-named bass to play for a hispanic fiancee's visa. My humor is too subtle... ;)

I used to have this bass (sold it to Tim). It really is a great bass...sometimes I miss it. Those photos even look familiar too (my original ones). I've played other BTBs in stores after I sold this one, and it definitely plays better then any of them.

Got your PM and replied. Looks like this one is heading to Will once we get the details worked out.

Thanks for a quick deal bud!
