budget bassist Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Hey guys, should be an easy one for those that know, but after a solid Googling session I'm not any the wiser. I think it's an old SR700 or something with bartolinis but Google isn't showing me any photos in that burst finish It's on my local marketplace for $550 (CAD) and wondering if it's worth it. I'm thinking yes but would be nice to figure out what it is. Cheers! Edited March 11, 2023 by budget bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAgent Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) I guess you've already checked but the model number should be on the back of the headstock and on the inside of the control cavity. I think it's an SR800 without the fancy top, but it checks out otherwise. Whisky burst, gold hardware, black knobs... 99% sure of SR800. Those used to be around CAD1200 so 550 is a pretty good deal. Go for it and give it a good clean and oil the fretboard, it clearly needs it Edited March 11, 2023 by BassAgent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Thanks! I did ask for a photo of the back of the headstock but the seller isn’t able to get one for a few days. if it’s an SR800 as you say seems like a good buy, I should probably go for it I did stumble across those and discounted it because of the lack of figuring but that’s the closest thing I can find so I reckon you’re right. Thanks! Edited March 11, 2023 by budget bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/SR800_(2013–2017) This is a great resource for all things Ibanez, it's definitely an SR800. The finish dates it to 2016-2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAgent Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Oh yeah you're right! It's not an 800 but a 750. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
