Ibanez RB885 5-String / Electric Bass Guitar / made in Japan Rare 80's Model
Ibanez RB885 5-String / Electric Bass Guitar / made in Japan Rare 80's Model. A Rare Bass with a few nicks and scratches - nothing major, but for the collector a great project. There was a protective pad on the rear which has now been removed and cleaned, there is a little residue from the tape showing and there's a chip on the shoulder, a few chips and light scratches over the years which have been touched up. I have owned this Bass for over 30 years, it has a very thin fast neck and has served me well in a professional capacity. It's not perfect, if few small imperfections, but it plays and sounds amazing. Free gig bag with shoulder straps, locking guitar strap included.
