New Ibanez bass, new model?
- Thread starter Buzter
- Start date
Ibanez usually puts out a set of limited edition models every year. I think the last were BTB 4 and 5 strings with burled poplar tops. The year before that was a pair of SR 4 and 5's, also with burled poplar tops.
I'd like to see this zebrawood model...

It looks like the 530 ,but with the zebrawood finish. It kind of has the fade in look where the edges are dark and it's light in the middle. I guess like the sunburst or the vintage burst or whatever. Yeah, I know. Put up a picture. I'm just surprised there's nothing on the internet about it. The Ibanez website has nothing either. It sure got looks and comments on the way to the counter, though.
I bought one of those yesterday. It a Guitar Center exclusive model and even the guitarcenter.com site has no info on it...and nothing to be found on Google. I came across this thread via talkbass search and it's the only mention of it on the entire internet.
It's a mahogany body with a zebrawood top with a vintage burst finish and a jotoba/bubinga neck....really beautiful. Bart Mark III pickups & preamp and gold hardware. The one I have is almost too light. I swear, it must weigh 7 lbs, if that. Looks like they only have one per store at this point.

I was thisclose to buying the burled poplar 4 string in 2007. I went in a different direction but I definitely had that one in my sights for a while.
How much is the zebrawood model going for?
$599.99, which is a good price for what it is. I had one of those burl poplar ones for a bit, which is basically same bass as the zebrawood one, just with a different top.. From what I remember, it was between seven and eight hundred bucks. I've seen them on the GC used site for about six.
Which country's catalog...because it's not in the 2009 USA one. Did you somehow see a 2010 catalog?
I'm also interested, I looked at both Japan's and Canada's web sites and I found nothing. USA web site has nothing on it as well.
I just want an SR in general...the necks are really nice, with the lightweight factor. It's the perfect bass.
Totally man, The thin necks are just awesome. Ive played an SR on and off since I started playing.... Got a Music Man Stingray 5, which I love, but Im beginning to play alot more and the stingray is way too f-in heavy!
lol...sorry, I deleted and reposted while you were posting.
I love this one. It's literally one of the lightest basses I've ever used, and I've been playing for 45 years. I've had these same guts on many other Ibanez basses and really like them. Great bass! Wish they made it as a 5 string too.
