Can someonay please tell me what is this bass!!??

Watching thread with interest. On first glance, an Ibanez is what I see, but I'm no expert.

 

Looks a lot like one, I agree.

 

Just looks like a knock-off to me...could be a decent player, though.

 

The Ibanez overall shape and headstock style always seem to show up in no name mystery basses.

 

It's an Ibanez B stock/seconds instrument that they sell off to small companies to put to market.

 

If the truss rod, tuning keys, and knobs work, I'd give it a home at that price.

 

it looks Chinese...I could swear its a version or pre-version of a Hadean Vickers or something like that

 

I have never heard of this practice, nor does it make any sense to me from a marketing POV. Where did you hear Ibanez does this?


To OP, it's most likely a Chinese Ibanez knock off. Reasoning being, lack of branding and generic hardware all around. If you open the control cavity, my guess is that you'll see very simple setup.

You can find basses like this on Taobao or Aliexpress for $200-$500 like this.

 

If it's an Ibanez, the serial number doesn't match the formula they used other than the letter Y which means it was made in Korea at the Yoojin factory sometime between 1995 and 2008. If it's a B stock the serial # might not be in sequence to any other.
I'd say if it looks worn and about 20yrs old it will be some version of a FugiGen made somewhere in Asia and the logo has been removed. $200.00 sounds about right.
If it looks newer it's likely a Chinese knockoff and you'll find inside tiny pots, really messy wiring, sawdust and/or vicious routing and a general appearance of it being assembled in less than 5min. $200.00 would be better spent on a nice dinner out.

 

Looks Chinese to me, too.

$200 is a lot for something like that. I wouldn't buy it unless I was able to plug it in and then love how it sounds and plays.

Take a look at Guitar Center's Used section. There are dozens of name-brand basses there priced between $80-$120. And with GC, you can return it if you don't like it.

 

I'd go $200 if it felt decent. Sure.

 

it's not an ibanez
that's not the control layout for any of their neck through humbucker equipped bodies. SRT800DX and SR1000EFM/EWN/EBG/EZW is close but the angle is a little different here.
ibanez necks have a volute at the headstock.
i haven't seen any neck through SR use the 3.5" pickup rout.

 

yeah, those pickups

 

Cort? Sammick?

 

No idea on brand, but I’d definitely plug it in to something to make sure it all works. Then I’d take it to a luthier and get that plastic nut changed and frets leveled.

 

Looks Cort-ish to me.

 

Evil spirits possess that bass. I'd pass.....
