ok so i was on ishibashi and i was this does anyone know if you can get one of these from any place else but this shop. i think its like the ugliest, yet best looking bass i've ever seen. i want to order one and dont mind the price of it, but order it from japan and changing the money and stuff seems like a hassel. also has anyone played one, are they like p's or j's whatever. just if anyone has any info on ordering or where i can get it that would be great. thanks
I'd imagine a Japanese retailer is the only place you can get one, they're probably not sold domestically. I'd also imagine that it sound alot like a Jazz, but you can probably get some new sounds with all those switches. It's a sweet looking bass.
holy **** !!! that bass looks so good .. they look like J bass pickups so I believe it would sound like one .
Go take a look at these two links. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=209148 http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=211868 The first one has a review of the bass and the second has all the pics I took a couple weeks ago showing all three colors. I've played around with them a little unplugged but Joninjapan's post is a must-read for you. The red and black are both easy to find but I've only seen a couple of the sunbursts.
Wow, I so want that bass, I never thought Fender would ever make a Jag jazz bass, that's so beautiful! ~Ryan
I didn't really care for them at first but the more I get used to looking at them the more I find myself getting a case of GAS!
They're so pretty, I want one. They look amazing in red and black, I'm not so hot on the sunburst ones, though.
That's a good looking bass! What's the model number? I couldn't seem to find it on the Ishibashi website.
Yep. Not available over here (at least not yet...?) in the states. Gotta get it from Ishibashi or whoever you deal with for Japanese stuff. I want a black one. Really bad.
