Hi thanks for all the interest, sorry for the delay in posting I had a late gig last night at a biker rally playing until 2am! In answer to your questions, yes it has a skunk stripe, the thin green finish has 'sunk' into the back and there is a clear line showing, On the front near the bridge there is an area where the finish has been sanded and this reveals a darker stripe thus showing the neck construction mentioned by Godber. The neck through is very sturdy unlike many of the Ricks I've played - and one I owned from this era. There is no forward bowing away from the body wings. Rocker19 I will post a picture of the back of the bass and also a picture of the body minus hardware before fretting so you can see the routing. Yes the pickups are Rickenbacker, the neck is original to the bass the bridge is a later one I bought in from the US. The pickup surround and hand rest assembly were also with this pickup as the original surround was rusted up badly and the pickup was missing..

Yes the body had been sanded - slightly rounded off apparently when the binding was removed I can send better pics if you pm your email cheers.

I see your point!

[sup]Ibanez Jazz plus cash?[/sup]

The binding was taken off and edges sanded down when the original owner 'refinished' it, there's only binding on the neck now.

Sold.Thanks for looking.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1335998514' post='1639467'] It's not a scam. Just some inaccuracies and over enthusiastic hyperbole in the description... and a bit not as down to earth as you usually see on here. [/quote] Agreed, Grant basses are decent instruments and the Precision is a nice example. They were however budget instruments and without a prestigious name. In reality despite their MIJ lineage they lack the kudos, collectability and therefore percieved 'value' of more recognisable importer's brands such as Greco, Antoria, etc.

[quote name='Zekragash' timestamp='1335986812' post='1639231'] Hi Those bass are delicious ! I own a 1975 2365b jazz bass with Dimarzio DP149 and John East preamp which is amazing The tone is clear and growly . The neck is perfect and fast. You can [url="http://www.guitardaterproject.org/ibanez.aspx"]date your bass here[/url] just with the serial number engraved on the neck pocket plate NIce bass ! [/quote] Hey there thanks for the link, my version is the pre serial number Ibanez which - according to The Ibanez site makes it a 1971 model, very early and yes [i]very[/i] nice!

And replied Still here

Yes it is very pretty and it plays as good as it looks! I'm still looking for a maple fretboard MIJ or US Precision bass so possible trades are welcome but only for Fenders.
