If it plays/sounds as good as it looks, its a winner.

They did discontinue about a year or two ago, buuuut apparently they brought back as a special edition. I wanted the blue one

Now that I think about it - wasn't the amber 4string called the SR650PB, and the blue 5string the SR655PB?

Here's a 655pb. Pretty sweet looking but not amber.

^ The 4banger is amber, and the 5string is blue.

Congrats on that beauty! The body is evidently "light american maple." The burl is part of a cap on top of the maple?

Here's some history from the TB archives-Ibanez SR505.

Actually, I think the back is mahogany stained dark mahogany with a poplar burl top. The SR405s are light american maple.

Sweet bass dude, Congrats

*The SR405s were light American maple.

Then they were basswood, with a quilted maple top. Now they're mahogany, with a quilted maple top.
