Few more

Here are mine

6, 3 Hofner Icons one natural finish and 2 in special colors of only 150 made in each color, one transparent green and one in black cherry, one Squier classic vibe jazz bass white with tort guard, one LTD EC Les Paul bass and one Dillion Ric copy, ( good copy ) but many come and go so this could...

I do a lot of barter that is how I can own a few dozen instruments with not much out of pocket, I just took these in after the Dilion

I have owned a lot of bass guitars and yeh the Ric oozes of quality, I owned Gibson Guild Fender Dano, Yamaha, Ibanez. I'm not sure what Dillion you played but this axe is in fact well built, if there is any hating here I think it is aimed at Dillion, these guitars copy Fender, Gibson and...

I'm far from a Ric hater I loved mine and yeh I will get another one, I will stand by the Dillion but heck I always have a fleet of bass's and I mainly play my Hofners, don't lump me in the Ric haters I have never even hated instruments that deserve to be hated, fact is like a strat, the Dillion...

I actually put a 6 inch foam pipe insulation piece on mine, maybe they do or don't cause CT I have RA and maybe it would have happened on any other bass but the Dillion has a indent that just feels far more comfortable, looking at your Icon I love that Ric and want one like it, I'm just used to...

And now the Dillion

Probably opening a can of worms here, I played a Ric every night for 10 years and have the carpal tunnel to prove it, I sold the Ric along with a few others I wish I kept, I get lots of calls to stand in and currently own a CV jazz a LTD EC a Ibanez blazer 3 Hofner Icons all different colors but...

I have had numerous models of Ibanez over the years including Iceman bass and about 9 Artcore guitar and bass,,I had a lawsuit strat with a feb - 76 build date, this bass is one of 7 but I do like it,

Yeh I had a few P bass. Guitars with that jazz p/u at the bridge

I bought a bass with hardshell case for 70 dollars, I learned a while back how to decipher Ibanez numbers, this is a post lawsuit, it seems to be made June 1980 here it is and oh I'm not the one who butchered the pickguard

I guess tort guards are going to look fake, I read using real tortoise is now illegal

I do a lot of trading and came into a white jazz with a tort guard, I have owned dozens of bass guitars and this one is a keeper, I know it is at the high end of Squiers but it is a joy to play. I just wonder if others out here feel the same
