FlatEric Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Very Nice! I just love Classic Ibanez! Nice 650 - I have one the same colour, in the original case - I was SO impressed with it, I bought another one. Top Bass. Cheers. Quote

bjelkeman Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys. Actually the idea is to probably sell something off rather than buying more. Possibly building a studio in the basement. May need some cash... Heh. Also, a few of them are in need of getting electronics and whatnot fixed. So, I have stuff to do. Just recently realised that the RB960 and the MC924 are like Yin and Yang to each other, visually at least. Edited January 2, 2014 by bjelkeman Quote

mikhay77 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Here is my lovely 1977 Ibanez silver series,one piece maple neck,skunk stripe,walnut plug 3 piece body and great jazz tone,only mod is a Badass and some long shaft reverse tuners. Bit of a rare model really as only made fro one year in this config. I have a few Jazz basses including an original 72 Fender Jazz ( Geddy lee blocks ) but this really does play better just not quite as thin a neck. Edited March 1, 2014 by mikhay77 Quote
fender73 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 New one for me - collected tonight from our very own Mr_Bond. SR505 - immaculate and plays very very nicely (even with 4 year old original Elixirs on it!) Will be gigged Friday night so hoping this will be the No.1 got to bass Cheers Graeme Quote
Pixiechick23 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Already have a post in here showing off my Ibanez but I do love it. Madly in love with it's slim neck and somewhat entertained by its smooth sound. I was expecting a rough, ready for metal sound I don't know why, comes out with a lovely smooth tone. So nice.

Guest Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Lovely. I'd leave it, sets it apart from the rest imo and there's plenty of natural ones about. Edited January 24, 2015 by kennyrodgers Quote
megallica Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I like that Blazer more than any other I've seen. Was the custom range available in unusual colour combinations? Quote

TimAl Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks guys - seems the general consensus is to leave the colour as is - which I'm more than happy to do as it's lovely, I'm not a white plate kind of fella, so I'm having a play with different colour plates to bring the colour alive. Here's my current two favourite options: Plus if any of you use Facebook there's some further designs here: [url="https://www.facebook.com/originalscratchplates/posts/771834992900311?comment_id=772017236215420¬if_t=feed_comment"]Plate Colour Options[/url] What do you think - 'classy' or 'retro'? Again, just wondering - can anyone confirm if custom colours were originally offered, or was it just the two wood finishes?

[/quote] The honest truth is that I bought it as I was curious because I've heard really good things about them, plus it just 'feels' right. However, according to Mrs TimAl apparently I already have far too many basses, ahem, so I'm happy to talk. I'm out jamming with some friends tonight so I'm going to give it a proper comparison against my early MIJ Fender P this evening to see which one I prefer, as I've now grown out of insisting that a P must be a Fender . . . LOL Thanks & Happy Monday(s). Tim Quote
lowhand_mike Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 suppose i guess i should post this here, i have posted elsewhere but like it so much it should be in here cos its pure filth The finish is sublime, lovely curved contours not a flat spot in sight and like said earlier the supplied case is awesome but then a bass like this needs looking after Quote
Doctor J Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Might as well put up these two. Got them cheap enough, Ibanez are such an underrated brand for the quality of bass they make. First up, a 1980 Roadster RS924. It needed a bit of work - fret levelling and the like and a sorely needed a good setup. The extra switch wasn't wired up to anything and someone had fooled around with the factory wiring too. I brought it back to factory spec, aside from using that extra switch as a serial/parallel selector for the bridge pickup. It's heavy, but it's worth it. Next up, an 89 SR800LE I picked up recently. I'll need to do a little work on the frets soon but it's ok for now. I really like the Lo-Z pickups, It sounds quite like my Streamer, quite Warwick-growlish with a little extra low end. I used to have a 94 SR1300PM which was in a sorry state when I picked it up. I spent a bit of time cleaning it up and it looked quite spectacular when I was done. I ended up selling it on as the wenge neck was too thin for me. Lovely looker, though. 2 Quote
DeezerButler Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Hello there.... I am a newbie here at Basschat. I live and jam over here In Detroit. First off, you all have some amazing bass guitars! Here is my Ibanez USATK5VB with Dean Bunker Tension Free neck... I apologize for my bad photography... Quote
