BigRedX Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Working Link Does anyone know how accurate the electronics in this are compared with the Gibson? @Bassassin? IME with copy instruments anything more complicated than standard volume and tone controls are either ignored or replaced with greatly simplified versions.

Happy Jack Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Wow ... three controls, three flick-switches, and a selector, all for four strings through two pickups. On the old Hofner control plate (two controls, three flick-switches), if you set the switches just right then you could prevent any sound coming out at all. Marvellous! Small boys for goalposts ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Gibson version the "tone" switch appears to change the number of windings used on each coil of the Humbucking pickups thus changing the basic pickup sound, and one of the small switches is to set the output impedance (Les Paul was very keen on low impedance pickups/instruments even though no-one else appeared to be). However like all guitars and basses there will be a single sound that you like best and the controls will remain fixed in those positions until the instrument gets passed on to someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I asked about the weight yesterday - it is 10lbs. Bit of a chunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 That's a proper rarity, & looks to be in great nick for its age. This one's a pre '76 (Ibanez serials started in late '75) model 2381, probably a lot more common - but still stupidly rare - branded as Antoria or CSL. Surprisingly sensible start price considering what it is, but if the collectors get a sniff things could get very, very silly. Watching with curiosity! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
