Ibanez SR780

[JO6]

Wait. Louder at the same volume? What am I missing?

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

 

[JO6]

Maybe just made for a certain store chain?

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

I have that bass. No volume issues. I doubt there were only 89 made as they are not collectible and do not fetch an inflated vintage price.

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, Walsh, Richards, Knopfler etc. it’s from 85, and I got it in 87. Very nice guitar. I don’t collect, I pick an instrument for the sound it makes, and I use them. This bass has an interesting sound that fills a tonal gap, and the complete lack of information is quite perplexing.

I bought it used. Where is the production number? The serial number is 9 digits long. I found a note to myself with manufacture date as June 2009 and suffix 1PO1. Could that mean I have the first one made?

Are you trying to say that they are louder on full volume than the active on full? What is the active bass? Knowing that might help. How much of a difference is there?

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.

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.

Which Ibanez? I don't see one.

That serial number shows the bass to have been made in June 2009.

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.

That’s not my bass, that’s an ad.

 

[themickster]

That’s not my bass, that’s an ad.

Yours has the same start to the serial number as the one in the ad. The 09 means 2009, and the 06 means June. Both basses were made in June 2006.

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

Then why the whining about it not being the same bass as in the ad? Look, we're not going to know anything about it that Ibanez themselves don't know, are we?

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.

Where within that serial number is the number reflecting if it was the first made or the 89th made?

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 spelled it out simply for you, I’m still not sure you grasp the original question.

I don't appreciate your condescending attitude. You can go..... .........

Hey man, have you gotten any actual help here? Tons of people trying to take this thread off track, but I have one of these SR780s and LOVE it. Would love to know more info but your post is literally the only information I can find.
