Just got this old warhorse back from my tech. I bought this locally for $200 after I confirmed the truss worked and there was no twist in the neck. This thing has been played hard, the seller said it belonged to Father-in-law who was a session guy here in LV. After I brought it home and tried to...

Pulled from a 1982 Ibanez Bl-700NT Bridge is pretty clean and appears to have been recently polished. One noticeable scratch. Few chips (maybe lacquer?) on the knobs.
Consider trade for Seymour Duncan SPB-1/SPB-4, EHX Green Russian Big Muff Reissue, Pro Co Rat, some other vintage output p...

A few years ago I sold (and almost instantly regretted doing so) an '82 Ibanez Blazer Bass. If you are familiar with this bass then you know it's joys - basically an early P at Rogue prices. Well, I want to get one again, but I keep missing the ones that are at a price point I want to pay...

Just got my “new” 1981 Ibanez Blazer back from its check-up/set-up at the shop. It’s still buzzy above the 12th fret and will get a refret once I put the scratch together. But it’s setup...
Our band likes to wear blazers and sport coats on stage as our look. I figure a lot of you probably do this as well, I have wool blazer that fits me nice but when it seems a little too thick to have a bass draped over my shoulder.
I just ordered a linen blazer off ebay because i happened to...

Hi everyone I’ve got a snapped truss rod at the adjuster end on my 1980s
Left handed blazer bass
A new neck ?? Is it possible???

It’s an awesome bass rather resurrection than destruction
Any ideas
Thanks

Vintage Blazer in natural finish -- a legit P-bass killer!
Made in April, 1981 in the Terada, Japan factory for Ibanez. This gorgeous example is in great shape and sports a brand-new pickguard, made with care by Chandler to original specs. most Blazers of this vintage had the tips near the...

Hi all,
I've loved old Ibanezes since I picked up my first early 80's Roadstar II 20 years ago.
I'd wanted a Blazer for a while, so when I saw this up for sale at a discounted price, I had to get it... partly because I wanted a Blazer, and partly because I couldn't stand what I knew was a...
Hello,
I have some questions about the Ibanez Blazer bass series parts, because I have one that were borrowed to me and due to a fall I broke the output jack and the pick protector.
My questions are: If there is any possible way that I fix the bass by buying both parts and assemble them...
Just caught Band of Horses on Austin City Limits...Bill Reynolds rocked a stock-looking Ibanez Blazer in natural...which was the first "good" bass I ever owned.....back in the 80's. I wonder if it's mine.

Me (way back when):
1980 Ibanez Blazer bass. This was a very early version with a single fat pickup, heavy brass bridge, cool headstock shape and heart-shaped tuners. Seems all original as far as I can tell. This is the "natural" finish version - take a look at the crazy wood grain on this sucker!
The bass sounds...

Swapped this...2012 Fender Mike Dirnt precision bass
for this...1982 blazer
it was due to a little unwanted financial stress and got a decent amount of cash on top. So far I love this bass. The sounds are similar but very different at the same time but they feel worlds apart the ibanez being...
How's it going everybody..
Will an early 80s Ibanez Blazer bass neck fit and work on a ' 84 to "86 Ibanez Roadstar II RB 600 series body?
It appears to be the same, but you don't until you know. heh.
Looking to sell or trade my Ibanez Blazer - it's actually pretty playable but there are issues - please see below for details.
Sale price is $150 shipped in the continental US. Open to trades - looking for a pedal train nano+ or metro 16, a decent filter pedal, Diabolik or nice DI, but am open...
I recently bought a 1981 Ibanez Blazer that is in need of some TLC, so I've decided that I'm going to teach myself some restoration skills while bringing it back to life. The obvious issues I noticed immediately were a badly corroded brass bridge, the maple fretboard has worn through in a few...
I've got this one in Maine. I've got too many 80's Ibanez right now. It's an 83 I believe, it's got knobs on it now. It has the rare 2+2 headstock which I quite prefer to the 4 inline.
Hi guys! I'm about to relocate to Portland OR, so it's time to offload some gear.
First up is this 1981 Ibanez Blazer P-bass in natural finish. I've owned a couple of these basses, and this was by far the best sounding and lightest that I came across (8.4 pounds according to my bathroom scale)...
