Help identifying this Ibanez?

Maybe this?

I've had this bass for a while and am just now playing it. It was set up a couple of years ago, but now as I move up on the neeck, particularly passed the 5th fret, the notes are pretty sharp. What do I do?

thanks

Your intonation is out then, the saddle adjustment screws on the bridge will help get the whole board in tune.

Ring the string over the 12th fret (don't actually fret it). Next fret the string at the 12th fret. The fretted note will be sharper than the ringing harmonic one. Move the saddle back until they are the same.
