Kiwi Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 The Yamaha Pacifica series has one of these stunners - the Pacifica 1412 which features a mahogany body and thru neck. It's been selling for around US$1600 in the US though, so no bargain. However the Ibanez Artcore AGS83b IS a bargain albeit with a different market appeal. One of these sold for £200 quid last week on UK Ebay. I had to walk away from the laptop in order to resist pushing the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapbassSteve Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ibanez make some nice stuff. I had an dark red/purple Artcore bass in for a setup the other day and it was a stunner! Was amazed to see them for only £230 new on the internet, I'd have priced it much higher from the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldflote8 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That Pacifica is very nice,.. I've often been tempted by them (more basic versions ) in the small ads for a project base, assuming a good basic build quality etc. A big + for the Artcore,.. I have an 83 the exact same finish as the one in the picture and it is a great guitar, really nice tone,.. I used it in a Rush covers tribute thing for a while and was spot on to cover their older (pre 1980 material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapscallion Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I am in love with 60s/70s Yamaha semi's. The SA15D is my dream guitar at the moment, perfect mix of Western influence and Japanese originality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
