wow. Are they tuned the same (in reverse of course)? Do you use the stock strap pins on both?

I don't use the rightys on stage except for the Tbirds I have since at least they don't look as ********-dorky turned over and the upper fret access is fine. I just put my home-made strap pin holder on the plate screw and flip it on the rightys. I have never drilled another hole.

tuning? yes EADG/DGCF, whatever. remember just because the strings are inverted the notes are still in the same places on the FB. Think of "Jim Haslip or Jeff Schmidt", 2 famous inverted leftys.

plus there are some of my collectibles that were not even offered in lefty, but that don't stop me from jamming on them, especially for recording purposes where there is no visual to look at.

Both 1979 Ibanez, both active.
Left = Ibanez Roadster RS 900 TV
Right = Ibanez Roadster RS dont know the number

As I played these I came to realize that they were both Ibanez' attempt @ Music Man Stingrays & Sabre!!!! With great results!!! The preamps on these thing are powerful... The bass is out of control!!! They dont have the MM sound, but like these old Ibanez' a unique character unto themselves!!

The other is RS 920 NT. Quite rare it seems. Why didn't they use the bridge pickup location of the RS 900 and add the other nearer the neck. Would have been even more like Sabre.

Anyway, the RS 900 is a great bass, mine's exactly like yours except from 1980. I bypassed the preamp altogether, works great.

Does this count? Not the exact same model, but pretty close.

How do you like the Trabens? I've always been interested, but I've never been able to play one in person.

It's been a while, so now I'll put the step-sisters up. Sadowsky UV70 (with Pope Flex Core preamp) and Lakland Joe Osborn 5 (with East J-Retro preamp).
