Thanks! I’m definitely an Ibanez fan, I own an Ibanez electric guitar, but this bass is a Schack. If you look around online you’ll find they are extremely rare, I think the company is out of business. It’s handmade in Germany, bubinga body, ebony fretboard, “bolt on” neck with no bolts! I gutted the original electronics because the active eq was hissy, put passive Ultra Jazzes in with series-parallel and phase switching- it’s a monster! I’ll do a video on it soon.
Nice lesson, I’ve …
Nice lesson, I’ve been looking for something like this.
PS, nice bass. Ibanez?
