Henrys Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Second hand from, Ishibashi Japan, looks like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo-London Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 GREAT great choice both MIJ and Jazz are very good calls. Notice the depth of rosewood slap on the neck at the body. This shows that the replica Jazz predates Aug 1962. Absolutely stunning and I bet it goes like the clappers. Davo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_B Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Very very nice! Mind if I'm a bit cheeky and ask how much the whole thing cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosh Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm looking for something similar myself! Jazz-wise the exact one you have looks immense -- I'd just want the chrome bits on the bridge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 The pickguard looks great against the 3 colour sunburst. Good choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bh2 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) Superb and reasonable sponding... a browner tort would be nicer but hey! What's the under pickguard routing like? Show us a pic of the back of the headstock please. Get the ashtrays and tugbar on... if only to take them off and leave the holes!

Sibob Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yeah see I think Red Tort looks horrible....brown all the way! But the bass looks stunning! And a great price! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Jazz from Ishibashi and it arrived virtually factory fresh. They are not allowed to sell new ones and so calling a new one 'used' allows them to sell abroad - probably. Either that or Japanese bassists buy them new and then just don't play them - at all - before handing them back to the shop. When I have emailed them enquiring about the condition of any basses, they always seem to respond with the same answer along the lines of "few scratches, frets about 90%". When one of these actually arrived, it was immaculate - no scratches, no fretwear at all. Wierd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
