sgt-pluck Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I was looking at that - I reckon it's been refinished. Nice though. Tempted Pluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the seller has lifted his description directly from one of the catalogues! Edited March 8, 2008 by sgt-pluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Here's my favourite Ibby catalogue archive: [url="http://www.ibanez.ru/info/index.php?catalog"]http://www.ibanez.ru/info/index.php?catalog[/url] RS800/900: [url="http://www.ibanez.ru/info/catalog/1979/09.jpg"]http://www.ibanez.ru/info/catalog/1979/09.jpg[/url] There will likely be some lovely wood under the refin - it'd probably be worth digging it out, I had a similar experience with my Cimar refurb project: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10819"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10819[/url] And that's a pretty decent BIN, I'd say - looks original & in decent condition, apart from the refin - and these are a lot more scarce than Blazers, for example.

sgt-pluck Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Anyone know what the nut width/neck profile is on these? P or J? Edited March 8, 2008 by sgt-pluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 P-like neck, but slimmer front-back - 41mm nut. The body isn't onepiece- its a laminate. Very nice, but heavy as ****! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
