I donīt know the Ibanez-name for this Bass, but to my information it has been built in the 70/80s. The Rickenbacker-name of the original is 4001. Thanks for your offers. Regards-Harpo   Harpo Username: Harpo Registered: 9-2006 Posted on Monday, April 02, 2007 - 7:08 pm:    Hi again, Meanwhile I found out, that the Ibanez-Bass has the number 3288B or 3289B and was built between 1974 and 1976.   Harry Username: Harry Registered: 3-2001 Posted on Tuesday, April 03, 2007 - 3:05 am:    Harpo You made a typo: the correct numbers are: 2388 B: natural with bolt on neck 2388 B DX: natural with neck-through-body construction 2389 B: sunburst ("maroon") with bolt on neck. Beside these I've also seen a natural Ricky with only one pickup and the 2388 B sometimes pops up in factory black finish. The Rick copies were in production from 1972 until 1978.

It is a bolt on neck, cherry sunburst type colour. From memory, it is in good condition but the pickguard has a crack in it (minor). It is in a hard case. Postage to wherever you are might be dear. Anyway, send me an email if you are interested and I'll see if he is still interested in selling.

It'll get yanked in a heartbeat. He used the 'R' words in his description.   Jchester Username: Jchester Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Thursday, April 05, 2007 - 11:17 pm:    Oops... forgot to push the eBay button... Ebay Item #110111713104   Jchester Username: Jchester Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Saturday, April 07, 2007 - 12:44 pm:    It's still there! I'm amazed that Ric hasn't had it pulled off!   Jchester Username: Jchester Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Tuesday, April 10, 2007 - 12:04 am:    DAMN... Ric must have given up! Still there... still starting at $799... a bit high, for a bolt-on, imho.   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Thursday, April 12, 2007 - 8:45 am:    Listing pulled.   Mataeustripsa Username: Mataeustripsa Registered: 4-2007 Posted on Friday, April 13, 2007 - 3:57 pm:    That was mine. I've still got it. Mail me at mataeustripsa@yahoo.com
