I played MIJ Ibanez SR-800's for a long time before switching over to Gibson Thunderbirds as my main basses. For a while I was buying a new one every year as a birthday present to myself until they quit making them in Japan. Now these primarily get used for studio work or if I need a fretless, I use my 1990 SR-800FL. I picked it up off E-bay, and it had been given a high quality refinish in white. Looks sharp and plays great.

Nice collection stiles72! I've got an 87' SR800 with that same exact off white/Pearl Color as the first one on your rack and I LOVE it. :)

Any tips on Really cleaning up the finish? It sat for many years(down time), with stickers on it and years of smoke residue I'm sure. I'd like think I can get it back to it's original luster without to much hassle...

Oh can I get a Number? :P

Thanks!

The finish is a poly finish, so it should be pretty resiliant. Maybe use some sort of automotive product?
