Not an Ibanez (although they did do similar basses) & looks to be the same as the ones that come up with names like Columbus & Grant. Looks like the same bass as this one in our own @FlatEric's blog: http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.com/2010/11/columbus-telecaster-bass.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the bass the kid had, and it was branded 'Shaftesbury'. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's interesting (to me, anyway!) is that the near-identical Shaftesbury versions were Italian & made by Eko. https://reverb.com/uk/item/4524297-shaftesbury-telecaster-bass-early-seventies-butterscotch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
