First one, with a Kahler?

Second one, Bean bass?

Third one, the Artist, please tell me about it.

Yes, yes and yes.

 

Had all 3 of them for years. Always been a big ibanez fan and had quite a few at my peak ( favourite was the ibanez ICB500 iceman bass which i unfortunately sold)

 

The artist bass is a 2615B. It seems to be made from leftover lawsuit bass parts.

 

Vol/vol/tone/tone with an active passive switch

 

 

Set neck. Cool inlay work. Sounds killer.

I love the small body Bean, but that Artist is a real gem! Lovely!

I'm quite partial to SRs in general, but especially the old SR800LE, something I lusted after as a young lad, particularly the Jewel Blue one. The Regulated Lo-Z pickups, the Omni-Adjust bridge, the lesser-sculpted body, the chunkier neck (like a svelte Jazz neck, not the super skinny SR neck they made after this), they just make for an instrument of which the sound and the feel are very pleasing to me. Blue ones in this spec were only made in early 1990 and almost impossible to find. That year, they changed to the SR800 with AFR pickups and Accucast bridge and, well, it just wasn't the same bass.   There was a shop over here which had a blue SR800 in the early 90's and I really loved with the colour, but always preferred the LE spec.

 

Over the years, I've had a few SRs, starting with the SR1300PM, a great bass but not quite right for me.

 

 

I managed to pick up an 89 SR1000, which was lovely but, again, not quite right.

 

 

I even found an 89 SR800LE in good condition but in black. Loved it, but it wasn't the blue I craved. I couldn't justify having two, so eventually sold it on the basis that if I ever found the correct spec in blue, I would have no excuse not to. I did find myself regretting that sale from time to time.

 

 

Last week, I finally saw what I was looking for in sunny Italy and, since the Doctress is Italian, took it to mean all lights were green. It arrived yesterday and finally ends a very long search.

 

 

It's a lot of trouble to go to for a different colour of paint 🤣

I really should stop spamming posts about the same two basses, each time I've made a slight visual modification to them, but just this last time, my Ibanez GSRM20B Mikro Bass, and it's most recent incarnation:

A recent NBD but it also deserves to be in this thread. An Ibanez G105 Grooveline.

My two finally together in the same room.
