It’ll have to get behind a R2R, a MiniDisc, and old BMW 7 series . It’s just for recording, don’t play out live anymore, and is much easier to get around than the Fender. Also vintage amp guys are like hen’s teeth around here……..especially Vox.

im no tech so hesitate to rip into it. I’ve used a few, and with the beautiful unmistakable sound, perfect for that smooooth tone it gives. more than enough for recording, and the one I had in the 80s was actually off a guy using it in a local restaurant band, 3 piece, and worked well. I was...

The hum in the 80s was like a high pitched squeal. This one is definitely a low pitched hum.

I used to have a Vox Essex in the 80s, and through no fault of my own it disappeared. Was a great sounding/recording amp especially for my 67 Höfner and (new at the time) 85 RIC 4003s. Flash forward to 2023, and another one finally took its place. Only downside is a tremendous low hum ruining...

I’ve been a TIJF convert for years. Once finding them, they live on my 67 Höfner, 85 RIC 4003s and 11 Telecaster Bass. Tried to like them on the 99 Precision but couldn’t (wife threw that set out GRR). The P recorded great with LaBella DTF, and Smith 35 gauge round wounds. The Höfner is my...

If 1950s, that would certainly mean pre-CBS. Goes without saying.

And? I’ve used Höfner strings until switching to T-I for Höfner about 12 years ago. What’s the problem?

I too have a 67, and love those blade pickups. Same thing, it’s my most requested bass for session work always has been, and since I started using T-I flats for Höfner about 12 years ago, it’s only gotten better. It’s more versatile now because of them, and can easily sound 10 feet tall! Huge...

For Pepper/MMT he was using primarily a Vox bass amp. I’ve got a 68 Vox Essex to use with my 67 Höfner when I want that sound, Although they all shared use of a Fender Bassman starting 1965 in the studio. In the 70s as more tracks became available for recording, he did use a D-I & Miced amp...

I’ve wanted to try them with my 99 Precision with a set of Bare Knuckle 58 pickups. Looking for that Klaus Vormann sound. Got a very good “70s FM” sound with LaBella Deep Talking flats, but still searching for Klaus, and playing his famous 62 Precision on JLPOB, Imagine, ATMP, etc. I know he...

I=Indonesia (Cort) 0906=2009 June 14758=14,757 instrument made that month THERE IS NOTHING INDICATING IT’S EVEN A LIMITED EDITION, EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW IT TO BE SO. As to what number OF the limited edition IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED, HENCE PART OF THE CONUNDRUM. Even though I got out the crayons and...

I was NEVER saying anything about it not being the bass from that actual ad. You seem to not understand. Never mind, I’ll wait to hear from someone else.

That’s not the point at all. I already know this model was only made in 2009.

That’s not my bass, that’s an ad.

I posted 8 pictures of it yesterday, look back at earlier threads. However, I mentioned each bass I own, and it’s painfully obvious this Ibanez (again supported by the photos) is the bass in question.

You’re joking? The serial number IS the production number. Can you post a picture of it? It’s on the back of the headstock.

The active bass IS this Ibanez, it’s the only active bass I have. If you go back and read, you’ll see I list the other basses, and knowing basses, it’s obvious this is the only one.

I wouldn’t call 2009 “vintage” by a long shot. Did you buy yours new? And BTW, the production number was given as 48, by someone else who purchased it. I’m just trying to find out. Among my acoustics is an Alvarez, from a total run of 200, but from the first batch of 100. McCartney has one...

I’m calling Sweetwater tomorrow, as that is the only review that mentions a production number.

when I plug in any of my other basses, not changing any settings, all are louder. That’s what I was saying.

Yes, that’s a couple of the screenshots I’d previously posted. Thanks.

This is what I’ve been able to find. Even searching through all Ibanez catalogs turns up nothing. In fact, my contact at Ibanez said he couldn’t find it in any database (including past catalogs). In looking again, I see the production number given as 48 () when thinking it was 98. Seems...

Playing with the EQ, it’s easy to find tones I like. For the moment playing through an all original 72 Fender Bassman 100 that I’ve had since 85. Am the 2nd owner, and the other basses are louder at the same volume. Also have a 68 Vox Essex bass amp but haven’t tried it through it yet. It’s...

I know the factory (Cort). As with any new instrument, I’m curious about it. Sounds ok except for very low volume. Other searches recommend upgrading to American Bartolini pickups and electronics. Already have 67 Höfner 500/1, 85 Rickenbacker 4003s, 99 Fender Precision, 01 Fender custom shop...

Ibanez was very precise about when exactly it was made, down to the month. I’m interested in information about this particular model SR780. The description I found indicated only 89 were made “for the U.S. market”. So does that mean the rest were available elsewhere, or that only 89 in total...

Just took some pictures, hopefully this will help. It’s a nice looking bass, and as you can see by the dust and labels, completely original. Thanks

Yes, I got this information from Ibanez, but can’t seem to find any information about this particular model, as mentioned, even from Ibanez themselves. May go back to the local dealer who sold it and ask if he still has any details from 2009. Otherwise, I saw one single review of it on...

Hi there, just joined with a question about a new-to-me bass. Got it from a long time friend and in fact was with him when he bought it. It’s an Ibanez SR780 4 string which he bought new in 2009. It’s never been played (still has all the factory tags and shrink wrap on it), but unfortunately it...
