redroque Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 It's my first real bass that I bought in 81. I've gigged it, recorded with it, fallen into drum kits with it, jumped off drum risers with it burying a tuner into the head of the singer (he went down but recovered by the start of the next verse!). It's been on the telly, (on a stand as the band were stopped playing during an interview, not with me!) in local newspapers, [i]didn't[/i] take it to Europe as I didn't want to take it on a plane and on an album that Chrysalis and Arista spent a lot of money on which got shelved. Not the best provenance I grant you but its mine! I exclusively play a 5 now. No case so probably best exchange in person tho can get the cardboard guitar transport boxes so could courier (would be with citylink as I have an account). A knowledgeable collector says currently worth something between £250 and £350 depending on condition so offers in this area would be good, considerably more would be better . Pics show odd dings, more (pics not dings) available if required. New experience for me this, selling an instrument! Goes against the grain a bit, the rack is 1/2 empty!

Tee Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 That sounds about right. I'm no expert on these, but i know a black one sold on Denmark St (Wunjo) for £295 recently. I quite like them. As a P-man, they appeal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Ibanez RS924 - yours is the twin of mine & I don't think I'll be selling it! Price range is about right for one of these although [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-1980-Ibanez-Roadster-Bass_W0QQitemZ200367835494"]some people are a tad more ambitious[/url] - and that one's an RS824 - passive electronics & veneered hardwood body, rather than solid ash & active pre.

Apothem Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Before selling mine I did some research and your price is spot on. Have a TGF BUMP !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanSpeeltBas Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Aha, had one just like this but fretless (yes, maple 'board), traded it for a Tokai long ago. Your price is absolutely right. But someday you'll miss it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
