Very much I hope to receive the answer. Beforehand thank, Aleksandr Toor, Russian Federation, Krasnodar city. E mail: mailo-toor@list.ru P.S. I bring apologies for mistakes, at a spelling of the letter used the interpreter.   Aleksandrrussia Username: Aleksandrrussia Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 1:16 pm:    I can send a photo on Email, if it can help.   Aleksandrrussia Username: Aleksandrrussia Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 1:22 pm:    Very much I ask about the help   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 10:44 pm:    Aleksandrrussia: I'm not familiar with the Custom AA 150 JF model. Can you send pictures to my email address (click on my username, on the left in blue). Do you have a serial number? That will help with the year of manufacture. Did you buy this in Russia?   Aleksandrrussia Username: Aleksandrrussia Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Thursday, March 23, 2006 - 3:07 pm:    To Johns: You have received my the letter?   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, March 24, 2006 - 12:33 pm:    Aleksandr: Here's the pictures of your bass: I would have a hard time saying that this is an original Ibanez bass. The biggest problem is the logo on the headstock. I've never seen anything that looks like it. Maybe someone else here has more info to share?   Bassassin Username: Bassassin Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Friday, March 24, 2006 - 6:30 pm:    I'd be inclined to think it's a Roadstar that's had a replacement neck, amongst other things. Probably a previous owner put the transfer on the headstock to maintain its "identity".   Aleksandrrussia Username: Aleksandrrussia Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Saturday, March 25, 2006 - 2:37 pm:    I shall not agree with the assumption about Roadstar. In me too caused problems logo on the headstock. I assorted the tool and I can tell, that it is factory model (quality of assembly).   Bassassin Username: Bassassin Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Saturday, March 25, 2006 - 3:24 pm:    How can you be sure? If the neck pocket's a standard Fender width (which I'm certain some were) then it would be a straight swap. What's the serial number on the neckplate? I don't think Ibanez/Fuji Gen made Fender-style headstocks after about 1980, did they? Jon.   Aleksandrrussia Username: Aleksandrrussia Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Sunday, March 26, 2006 - 8:35 am:    Well, I can agree. But that such Ibanez Custom AA 150 JF. Model made by Ibanez or fake?   Aleksandrrussia Username: Aleksandrrussia Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Thursday, August 16, 2007 - 5:31 am:    up   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Thursday, August 16, 2007 - 12:01 pm:    The neck looks like it comes from a made-in-Japan bass from the 1970's, possibly a Kent or other brand, but not an Ibanez. As John said, that Ibanez logo on the headstock is in a style that Ibanez never used. Also, I don't know of an Ibanez guitar or bass that repeated the serial number (AA 150 FF) on the headstock. The body, on the other hand, looks to be from the 1980's or 1990's in terms of style. I don't know whether Ibanez used that shape or not. It's distinctive, and not exactly a Fender body style. Finally, the neck plate does have a correct Ibanez logo on it, and has what we're assuming is a serial number on it. Maybe it is a model number? My final guess is that it may be an Ibanez body from a "Custom" model bass, but that the neck is not original to the body.   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Thursday, August 16, 2007 - 12:10 pm:    Looking closer at the neck/body combo. The body has a small routing to provide access to the truss rod. Maybe the neck and body are original to each other after all. This may just be a Russian "Ibanez" copy. I am open to other interpretations. -Chuck   Shrap Username: Shrap Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Friday, August 17, 2007 - 9:58 am:    Man that neck sure has MOJO all over it.
