    Ibanez SR900

    Loved my Ibanez SR900, should have never sold it. Which of the bolt on neck Ibanez SR basses come closest to the SR900 for neck size and feel?

    Bass Recommendation

    I used to play an Ibanez SR900 in transparent black, and loved everything about it (lightweight, small/thin thru-body neck, the tone, looks, etc..) I sold it many years back, and the SR900 model has since been discontinued. What current Ibanez model is most similar?

    Yes I did, and thanks so much for the link, but I need a little more help. There are 3 places I can solder to on each control knob. And do I still need the brass plates?, sorry, but I am not very adept at this but want to learn, and not just take it to a store everytime I want to modify...

    OK, I'll sand the whole body then. The body is made of maple, still need to know what to put back on it that will protect, but leave a flat finish?, I don't like gloss at all - I want something that is no to low maintenence and will last. Thanks

    Removing antique finish

    I like the woodgrain finish on my bass, but don't like the "antique" finish at all. I need to know how to remove just the antique finish around the edges (see attached picture).

I liked everything about the SR900 and don't mind buying used, so what else out there has all the features (low...
