Ibanez black eagle 1977
Rare original Ibanez black eagle from the ’70s. These basses are mainly known for being used by Krist Novoselic from Nirvana.
It’s truly a great take on the classic jazz bass. Not only because it’s looks (which is a matter of taste of course), but soundwise it delivers a bit more mids than most jazzes do. Probably because of the mahogany body. I’ve used this bass live with La Bella flats fitted as an all rounder for my former pop/rock band, and used this with both pickups engaged or one of them solood, it sounds solid in all settings.
Playability is very good; low action without rattling is possible. There is some fret wear, but is doesn’t affect playability. The neck has a fuller P bass profile rather than the usual skinny jazz bass profile.
The bass is in very good condition considering it’s age. All hardware and electronics work like they should. There is a repaired little crack at the F hole (which most have, if still complete), and otherwise just a bunch of small usermarks and scratches.
It’s a 5kg heavy piece of awesomeness, so might not be for everyone. I personally think it balances nicely with a decent strap, and didn’t mind playing it for an hour or two.
For the sale a set of rounds will be fitted, as I’ll keep the flats.

I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.
