Really cool and rare piece. I've been really looking into getting a vintage Ibanez Artist (guitar) myself.
That is a really nice bass, and you play it well. You also look like a young me!
Thank you, but I love bass much more than I am any good at playing bass.
Wow, nice. I've always liked the old early trying to be good AND original MIJ stuff, quirky, well make, usually sounds great.
I've had a number of things from that era (most notably a Yamaha sa17) and have regretting parting with pretty much all of them (and you rarely see them again because the people who got them after you aren't as stupid as to part with them).
I really should see if my old pal I recently got back I touch with has the Yamaha - though I don't know what I'd give him for it exactly - maybe it's better not to know
.EDIT - when I read the title of this thread I was prepared to be disappointed - but that is indeed the coolest Ibanez ever.
Which is weird cause I never really cared for the Gibson Les Paul recording that it stole its general looks from but I REALLY like those (the whole 2 or 3 times I've seen them (only in pictures - I doubt there are any in Canada they were RARE).
Very cool. Congrats!
That tailpiece looks awfully familiar....

Ya, so does the one in your avatar. lol
They are - though much more conventional than the bass - just a double cut Les Paul with fancier hardware and inlays.

Flossin'? I thought your name was Munson!
Damn, that nails the Doobie Brothers tone, don't it? Nice score man!
Very cool bass. In all my years of playing and running up and down the roads I have never seen one.
Nice playing too!
Nice playing too!
Glad you asked. The power button is listed as an "onboard power booster!" I call it the kill switch. It makes the output so hot, it's unplayable! And no, no clicks.
It really is. There's this on the back from a stand accident but that's it. It's spent most it's life in a moisture controlled room. It even has the cover for the back pickup.
