vintage '78 Ibanez (flying V) Bass for sale

hey peeps,
i have a 1978 cherry red flying V Ibanez Bass guitar for sale.

it's in quite reasonable condition and is a fairly infamous
one known as the "law-suit model".. they were made very
briefly between '77-'78 before getting taken to court by Gibson,
(ibanez won though)
although it's refered to as "just a gibson knock-off", in actual
fact i believe Gibson didn't start making V shape basses til
like '83 or '85.. it's a neat piece and sounds sweet..
i'll throw in the custom hard case too!!!!

i urgently need to sell this bass to fund vet bills.

i'm only looking for $450
(which is pretty sweet, as there's not many, and i saw one go on
ebay a few years ago for about $2,500 US!!!)

please contact me at
jhonamation@hotmail.com
if you are interested.

thanks,
Jhonny Hobo

OMG, finally found someone who has one of these! I have one myself I got in 1980 and knew it was very rare but took this long to find just a picture of another one! Not interested in buying it but so happy to know there's another one!

I actually have the same bass, same colour & all. I actually bought it 3 times, sold it twice. It has now turned out to be my favorite bass. I have only ever seen one other in the flesh.
