Ibanez Jazz Bass Copy.....

No. Definitely not. $200 nets you a brand new 08 Fender.

 

Nope.

 

With 800.00 USD you can get a much better used bass.

 

no

 

If it was a Blackbird, I'd pay 800.

 

Do you mean $200 more?

$400, if it were clean and had the case.

 

Yeah I meant $200 more.

 

Those lawsuit era 70's Ibby's fetch some pretty big bucks nowadays. Look them up, you'll see.

 

i got a '77 Ibanez copy for $600 AUD about 5 years ago

it has a 2 piece ash body, maple neck with block inlays, and now emg pickups and a bts system installed

awesome axe for bugger all, really

 

I wouldn't spend $800 on it. Wouldn't even consider it to be honest.

 

I once got qouted on a 75 Ibanez thunderbird copy at $2650 AUD... I thought he was mad so I just walked out... played real nice though

 

I paid NZ$380 for my '79 Silver Series PJ (just under US$300 at todays rates). Now modded with SD Quarter Pounders and Badass II bridge, so it cost me about NZ$600 all up. Its a lot of bass for the cash paid IMO.

US$800 is a rip off though. You could get a whole lot better for that kind of cash. Tell this joker to jog on.

 

Which model of Ibanez J-Bass clone? Do you have pics of it? Some of the higher quality Japanese copy instruments of the 70's and early 80's are highly collectable these days.

 

checkit

i love this bass so much i had my roadcase modified so i could tour with it

it has an 18v EMG system in it w/BTS preamp and a badass II bridge

needs an overhaul now though (new frets, heads, nut) but it cuts through....you should hear it thru a 2x15!

 

oops

here's the pic
