Fishman Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Update: Back up for sale as the buyer decided it wasn't the project for him. The buyer reports that the truss rod turns OK and it's now sporting both pickups. - - - - - - - - - - Ibanez Jazz bass from the 1970s for sale – not looking for trades I bought this years ago and have never got around to doing the work needed and I already have a J so this isn't needed – it's not the lightest, but certainly isn't the heaviest either – I'll figure out a way to weigh it if there's genuine interest This is a bit of a project as it needs a bit of fretwork at the headstock end, and possibly a new nut I can't check the truss rod as it needs a stubby key and the ones I have won't go in far enough and I don't want to force it and strip it – the previous buyer reports that the truss rod does turn but doesn't solve the fret problem The action is very low and it plays perfectly up the neck although it buzzes at frets 1–3 on all strings – worst at the first, improving as it gets to the third, then all OK For someone with the skills this will make a nice bass – unfortunately I have neither the skills nor the time, so its has to go 🙁 No case, but could be disassembled and boxed for delivery (UK sale only) Cheers - Edited October 20, 2022 by Fishman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
