Really lovely and unique basses; these were in top-end boutique territory back in the day - I love mine (got a fretless 450B too). The fact that this still has the rather fragile walnut pickup rings proves it’s been well looked after. Heres one in action with a certain Mr Geldof: -
Ah, the only bass out of hundreds owned that I ever bought brand new - also a ‘79, from Hessey’s in Liverpool. Stonkingly good golden-era Ibanez bass - though I’d personally compare it closer to Alembic in terms of tone / playing ergonomics rather than Wal. As mentioned above, Mr Swift is a big fan of them. Bump for a top Basschatter 👍 -
Nice, liked this first time around - speculative PM sent......👍 -
Bought some “rubber goods” (oo-er......😏) from Brian; smooth, easy deal, and a great guy to communicate with. Thanks fella! 👍

Lovely, and fabulously versatile basses (I have an ‘01 one) - technically a Streamer Jazzman though, as the FNA has the Corvette body shape? Bump and GLWTS 🙂 Edit: meant to say a really keen price too for a German Warwick, and IMHO one of their best designs -
Really nice facings on that, and seems a very decent price compared with others I’ve seen FS recently -

Nice, but I’d want some solid provenance if paying that much. The fleur-de-lys fretboard inlays are pretty distinctive - found the attached pic with a quick search, but all you can really make out is that the inlays aren’t the standard dots. Top band - saw them around 1980 (I think he was playing his Stingray then)

Bought a pair of (non-bass related) walking boots off Alan - smooth easy deal and great communications; as posts above show, he’s a true Basschat legend. Thanks mate!
