Hey Lowend do you still have that Ibanez Destroyer ? I bought mine new in '76 ! mine has been modded over the years but it still is a great bass
Ha! Great story there - No I don't... The Destroyer got traded even up for the EB-3 that I sold to buy the Gibson "Dying V" Bass. The good part of the story is that 15 years later I got the EB-3 back for exactly what I sold it for (not much). It's neck was always a little squirrely, but upon its return I found that it had some serious issues, like a tremendous bow. When I tried to correct it, the adjusting nut sheared off (somebody had epoxied it in place). It sat that way for
another 13 years. Just recently, I found a local tech who had the neato Stewmac tool to hog out the wood around the truss rod so we could rethread the broken end. That was just over a month ago, and provided the neck remains stable, "Stinky" will be getting a refret very soon. Fingers crossed.
I never liked the sound of the Destroyer - I found myself comparing it to the Thunderbird, but it was clearly a different animal. That's actually the only pic I have of it.
BTW, is that Bart one of their T-Bird pups? How do you like it?
