I got this used from GC. I was really looking for a used SR750 but was not able to find one. I saw this and it was love at first sight. I had never seen a sunburst Ibanez before. For a used bass it was in perfect condition. I didn't know how old the strings were so I decided to put some fresh D'addario round wounds on it and it plays and sounds great. Hope to keep this for many years to come. Thanks for looking. Note: I think it's actually a brownburst and not a sunburst.

I considered the plain brown version. loved the neck but didnt like the active p/u's and 3 of the ones I saw, the body scratched real easy to the point that the color came right off the body.
good luck with yours |

good luck with yours | Yea, I do believe the older models had a problem with the finish coming off real easy. I haven't heard it happening with the newer models. |
