What kind of Ibanez bass is this?

[roccobladr]

I bought this Ibanez bass a few years ago used at guitar center. Had no idea what kind it was, just loved the way it played and sounded. The only thing that I can tell is that is a BTB series, but I have no idea what model or anything! I think I paid around 300-400$ used if that helps. I don't have it with me right now so I can't check to see if theres a serial number.

Any ideas?

Looks like a 2007 BTB450 http://www.ibanez.co.jp/anniversary/..._id=283&now=14 just with a different finish

I doubt it's a custom job, Ibanez usually have multiple finishes available in their models so it wouldn't surprise me if they only show one finish in the catalogue - in terms of price, no idea

This looks like a BTB500 to me.

Go to the old gallery, then to basses, scroll down to the BTBs and click on BTB500.


Bobster beat me to it.
