Ibanez Destroyer bass reissue!

If they ever reissue the Destroyer with the banana-style headstock, I'll buy it immediately.

Like this one:

I was hoping it was this model :( Good thing I still have my original one I bought in '76!

I had a red one in the early 80's when they came out that I put a Kahler whammy on.Not the smartest move of my career!

I had a red one in the 80s... my first real bass. I ended up defretting it, painting it 80s Mustang metallic grey and eventually sold it to a guitarist I knew.

I've since bought one like yours and it is STILL sitting in pieces waiting for time / motivation for me to refinish and hotrod it (delano pickups, kahler, brown tort binding, etc etc etc.
 
I bought one of these and it has become my favorite bass. It was set up perfectly and plays very well. I have been trying to replace it with something nicer but so far it has won every duel.

Really I can hardly believe how good it sounds. Much better than I expected. I ordered a new pickup before I got the bass and it is still in the box. I'm just not motivated to change it out because I like they way the stock pickup sounds.

Cheers!
