I went through a bass
phase in '77 and early '78. Being a huge Rush fan but unable to afford a Rickenbacker bass
on my 14 year old budget, I jumped on this as soon as I saw it in a used guitar store.
Truth be told, I couldn't have been happier if it were a real Rickenbacker - I was just
happy to have a bass. Ibanez made some excellent quality copies in the '70's and this is
certainly one of them.
I have been jonesing for
a bass lately and have looked high and low for one of these but have been unable to locate
one.
After switching back to
guitar in the summer of '78, I promptly traded this bass as a down payment on my first
Marshall Super Lead 100 half stack.
