Love, it shows love and experience! Can't buy that type of wear.

Thanks for the pics! Great looking bass!

Oooooh dat dere is PURDY!

I agree with the above 100%. If it were me, I'd sell. Sitting in a closet for 30 years not getting any love is a shame for any instrument. Now I am being hypocritical because I have a gorgeous drum kit still setup that I haven't been physically able to play for going on 5 years, but I am...

Well from the photo I think it looks sick!

In one of my regular groups years ago we would have a conversation with the bartenders before the show. If someone is trying to buy the band shots, tell them you know just what we want. The just send us something that looks good that is non-alcoholic and charge them whatever you want. The...

I'd agree with this. I have to remind myself that most people view what we do as some form of magic. The constant "Oh I could never do that" comments. Of course we all know that it's just time and practice, but to the average gig patron we are freaking wizards (or witches if you will). I...

First post nails it.

I have been trying to stick to this. Ever since switching to guitar and now bass, I've constantly had to keep myself in check over G.A.S. Constant question is does it do something the others do not? (yes that barely works sometimes) I also always try to save those internal conversations after...

And that's the way forward. At least it always was for me. Life, responsibilities, etc will always be moving variables. But getting a bit of time in like that will get you playing sooner. Good on ya!

100% this. 10 minutes a day trumps an hour on the weekend by example. Also Welcome!!

That's interesting. The only real experience I have with any Ibanez's from that period was a bassist I played with in about 95 or 96. He had a 4 string Ibanez that I think was form the 80's. Now I am going to have to go picture diving to see if I can find the model.

This thread is about the most consistent info I've found on the model, so I'd have to agree (inlays not withstanding). As to Ibanez in general, yeah, at the price point these are at, I've never played a bad Ibanez model, or really heard about a bad one. Maybe not a preference, but certainly...

For added fun, ask what key any given song is in. I can use AI's help in cleaning up computer scripts, but they are functionally illiterate with music. I used music examples at my job to point out the flaws in the AI gathering functions.

Couldn't resist. I asked Bard the same question. It's take is basically the same as ChatGPT in the OP but thought it interesting it added The Alembic Series I as well! The best bass guitar ever built is a subjective question, as there are many factors to consider, such as sound...
