Forgive the AH post but this was swathed with analog effects in my studio
and I know there are some IBZ freaks on the list who might appreciate it
:)
I'm starting to sell some of my top end pieces. This is the first:
For sale: Vintage 1975 Ibanez Double Neck, Model 2404 Bass/Guitar
This is the ultra rare vintage Ibanez double neck four string bass/six
string guitar. Made in Japan I believe this model was manufactured from
1973-1975. Most of those made were in walnut finish, this is the rarer
White with black pickguard and gold hardware. Body shape is similar to a
double cutaway SG with two horns, script logo, original Ibanez pre-lawsuit
"crown" pearl inlay on headstock. Pre serial # which indicates 1975 or
earlier.
Two guitar humbuckers, two different bass guitar pickups. Both instruments
have tri-position switches with a third Guitar/Guitar+Bass/Bass
tri-position in the center. Two volumes, two tones. Nice solid body, thin
bass neck, extrodinarily playable. If you know your guitars you know
Ibanez made amazing sounding pickups and instruments during this period
and this is no exception. Bass sounds almost active (it's not) and guitar
has a nice round full sound in any combination. You can play both guitar
and bass if you're fast enough (I did lots of looping with it) and it's a
HELL of a lot of fun on-stage. I gigged with it twice and babied it both
times for special occasion shows. It did the job :)
This particular 2404 is in excellent condition for it's age. (See
pictures) White finish has faded evenly and some of the gold hardware is
now more chrome. I am the second owner of this guitar and I bought it
directly from the original owner back in the 90s who bought it in a store
in 1975. It has never been shipped anywhere and has spent it's life in
it's original Ibanez custom hardshell case (included, see pics) when not
being enjoyed. This case alone is a collectable.
All hardware, pickups, wiring, etc. are 100% original. There are some
small nicks and the switches could use a cleaning now and then perhaps.
There is a small paint crack in the guitar neck joint (see pics) but this
is non-structural and has not changed in the years I have owned it. A few
years ago I had this professionally setup (that cost $120 including
strings) and fully gone over and confirmed the structual integrity of the
guitar. It is in top shape and ready to play out of the case.
I am asking $1000 including the OHS case and setup which is far below
street price. This is one ultra-rare instrument that is not only
collectable; it is a great playing (and looking) guitar. Not something to
sit collecting dust you will be proud to have this on display *and* pick
it up often. I know I did.
Cash talks, no lowballs, no muss, no fuss. I will consider paypal (direct
bank transfer or Credit card ONLY) if buyer pays all fees and there is a
reasonable clearing period. I prefer not to ship this but will meet within
25 Miles of Phila, PA. If it does ship buyer pays shipping and possible
packing fees. I understand this isn't a toy instrument or a toy price so I
am happy to entertain all serious buyers and will answer any questions,
etc. Please include a phone # to speed things up.
If it does not sell here it will go on the 'net at large and consignment
for significantly more. Please do us both a favor and come get it. I will
consider trades for banana modular synthesizer stuff. Cyndustries/Modcan
or Serge panels or an Ibanez "Rocket Roll" guitar. Not much else I'm
looking for at this time but if you have something ultra weird let me
know.
Thanks for looking!
