Paul S Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) In a rush of blood I bought this from a fellow band member when he bought a Gibson Les Paul Studio and decided to move it on. It has sat here doing nowt ever since. Daft really, as I rarely pick up a guitar and, when I do, use one of my JapCrap models so I thought I'd sell it on. And, well, you know, maybe buy another bass.... [url="http://www.ibanez.com/HollowBodyGuitars/model-AM73B"]Here is a link [/url] to the Ibanez webpage about them and here is an image nicked from the site: Anyway, this is pretty well spotless. It looks and plays like a dream - nice low action and a fast neck. Sound-wise it does a lot of things but mainly it is like a Gibson 335 - it overdrives nicely and sounds really meaty when pushed. Nice sexy cool looking guitar for someone who wants something a little different from the herd. I think production of this model has stopped but Reidy's have them still for £269. This one comes with a fitted Gator hardcase that is a bit like the Gibson Les Paul ones. Can't find the exact model but it must have cost over £50. Actual pics to follow. Looking for [s]£180[/s] [color="#FF0000"]NOW [s]£150[/s]a ridiculous £140 [/color] collected from SE Essex, another £20 to post it ParcelForce 48.

Paul S Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) Bump for a ridiculous price drop - I really do want shot of this. A very good quality instrument, very rock and roll yet different to your average axe. It can sound bluesy but also distorts and overdrives for hard rock sounds. Sustains for ever. £150 collected, £170 posted. I am away for a week as of the crack of dawn Monday, BTW.

Paul S Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 A return from holiday type bump. I am almost giving this away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 And a rescue from page 3 type bump. Serious bit of kit here for next to no money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickwwarwick Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 It looks nice, how does it sound? Is it still available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Hi Mick Yes, still available. Sounds - a bit like a Gibson 335. More like a Gibson 335 than you'd expect for the money, anyway! Good sustain - great sound for blues and, when pushed, rock. Not really a jazzy hollow body. You can select neck/bridge/both pups with volume and tone for each pup, too. You are welcome to come a try it.

Unfortunately for the seller I already have one Buy it Now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Thanks for the endorsement, tino. Yes, it is a good guitar for sure. Sexy beast in the flesh, too. I've had a few offers of trades for various things - just a mention that I am not really in the market for any instruments. But I have a list of stuff I am considering buying so would welcome trades with cash either way depending, for: - Zoom H2, H4 or Q3 - John East P-Retro - a hot P-type pickup or two. - Hipshot GB7 in chrome - Hipshot BT10 in chrome (assuming that is the one for a Jaguar bass) Probably worth mentioning just in case.

Paul S Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Yup, absolute bargain - great quality bit of kit for secondhand Squier money! I am making a slight loss on it and bought it at mate's rates in the first place but, well, I want to shift it really. Anyway, now on hold pending the usual.
