I remember when these were a current model, and that must be thirty years ago now! I remember there was an Ibanez advert in the American guitar magazines with Mark Egan playing the sunburst one.

To get a new bass made nowadays built to the same quality as these vintage Ibanez examples you would have to spend a lot of money. Lovely collection, and I like your taste in basses.

Beautiful basses.

Does the blue one have gold hardware or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

(Looking on my phone so can't zoom in!)

Yeah it was a gold finish but it's worn down to a coppery silver colour now.

Would have looked like this 30 years ago

Just got myself both an active and a passive RB850, both black. Lovely basses

There was a black 850 on ebay last week, did you win that auction?
Curious to find out if there is much difference tonally between the active and passive 850's?
My 850 is being refinished at the moment, the sparkly red paint wasn't really doing it for me.
Saying that, if I'd known how hard it was to remove the paint I think I would have learned to live with it.

Theres a couple in America at the moment going for about £250 - both cream and theres a couple of other RB Roadstar basses going there as well. I was looking at them until the UK one came up. There was one in North Yorkshire on ebay a couple of weeks ago too. Pickup only so think it only went for less than £50.00. Looked in good condition too.

Haven't really had a chance to photograph any of my recent purchases.
So my RB924 has now been joined by an RB760, RB950 (thanks Nic) and RB850.
