LeftyJ

They're great basses indeed, I love my lefty a lot too.
Just too bad the bridge pickup isn't in the '70's position, that's the only thing it lacks IMO.

They're not really twins, the one on the left was born two years earlier so the one on the right is the evolved version, but both are MC924's:

This ATK300RSPBK kinda matches your description:

For anyone who's interested, I just wrote an article on my MC924L's on leftybassist.com. It also briefly sums up a little bit of Ibanez Musician history. It doesn't cover MC's produced after 1984 because there no longer were lefthanded versions of the MC range available, it mostly covers the MC924, but the MC900 is mentioned briefly too.

That's lovely!
Those truly are great basses. I have two MC924L's and they're simply amazing, especially for their age.

I have an Ibanez Musician that was made in my year of birth, an '83 MC924L. It's the one to the right (the left one is an '81 MC924L):

My CIJ is quite heavy too, otherwise it's a great bass. Just too bad the bridge pickup isn't in the proper 70's position, unlike the MIM Classic Series 70's Jazz and the American Vintage '75 Jazz Bass. It gets you very close to that 70's vibe though . If it's of any help (probably not to the TS, as he spefically mentioned he's looking for an MIA), I've written a review on mine on leftybassist.com:

Appears to be in Spain, Telefonica is a Spanish telecom- and webprovider. Could this really be it?
The price is insane too, I got mine new for 1650 euros a year ago including shipping from the UK.

Great basses indeed. I have a lefty '81 and '83 and love both of them.

Yes, I would say it is [i]the[/i] most desirable colour scheme for an SR4 , to my taste. And I must admit I'm seriously tempted...

The stringspacing looks odd, there's plenty of room to spare left on the edges of the fingerboard. But that can of course be adjusted very easily with those Schaller bridges Beautiful bass!

[quote name='rasher80' post='652579' date='Nov 12 2009, 02:01 PM']not a direct sale per se, but Ishibashi has a nice looking '75 Reissue Jazz in their u-box...

except some stupid righty has buggered it up by installing a jack in the back , plus a strap button on the lower horn.

WHAT IS THE BLOODY POINT IF YOU HAVE INFINTELY MORE CHOICE THAN LEFTIES DO YOU CRETIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have a looky, it's awful![/quote]

No sh*t!
But it was awful before the mods already. Look at that hideous targetburst finish...

SOLD on leftybass.com

*bump*

I'm open to offers, feel free to place a bid below my asking price and I'll get back to you

A firm kick back to the top of the list.

[quote name='The Kerb's' post='636680' date='Oct 26 2009, 09:22 AM']Hi guys;

I'd like to sell my G&L L-2000 USA made.[/quote]

The one that was for sale in the Netherlands a few months ago? That's a very nice bass, I was tempted to buy it myself. Why are you selling it again so soon?

I'm thinking SR840, but the control layout is off, and the 840 didn't have fretboard markers and had a carved body and fingerboard end. Does it have a lacquered neck in a matching transparent blue colour? If it does, it's definitely in the 800 series or up.

I'm letting go one of my two ATK300's, the ad can be found [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=64564"][color="#FF0000"]here[/color][/url]

I am selling one of my ATK300's (sorry Ian, the 305's still not going :?) as I have just bought a Stingray 5 and already have two other ATK's. I used this ATK300 for D-tuning but have no need for that in my current bands.

Those of you who know the ATK series will know what this is. For those who don't: the aim of the ATK was for Ibanez to draw customers who wouldn't normally buy an Ibanez. The ATK is everything the most well-known Ibanez bass, the Soundgear, is not: it is anything but sleek and light. Its aim was also to provide an affordable alternative to the MM Stingray, and it did so with grace. The first run of ATK's was Korean-made. Later on, Japanese models also became available, until finally the curtain fell for the ATK in 2000. Both the Japanese and Korean made ATK300 and the Japanese made ATK305 were available lefthanded.
In 2007 new ATK's were introduced, this time Korean and Indonesian made, including a lefty version of the Paul Gray (Slipknot) model. There are no regular models available lefthanded anymore though.

The one I'm selling is made in Japan.

The specs:

- 3-piece ash body, finished in transparent black;
- 3-piece maple neck, wide and fat;
- big ATK bridge;
- 3-coil ATK humbucker, switchable to parallel / singlecoil (+ phantom coil) / singlecoil (+ phantom coil) + high cut;
- 3-band EQ.

The body has some dents, that's how I got it about 7 months ago. I've marked them in the pictures.

I'm asking 400 Euros or best offer. Shipping within most of Europe is 30 Euros. Eastern Europe is 40 Euros. Shipping to the USA is 104 Euros.

Not cheap, but definitely nice - although the bottom piece of ash doesn't really match the rest of the body.

Biggsy's Stingray sold for just a mere 620 GBP
It's just amazing what these go for in the UK lately.
