Man I dont see ANYONE with this same model. They are awesome, and comfortable.
BTW can I please get a number. Thanks
 
:"( G.A.S. my dream bass was always an entirely back Ibby SR 5 string bass... but I didn't know the was a 645 version... I have the 305 version and it's nothing to write home about

They only made it for a year, apparently. I had no idea what model it was when I bought it, only that it was light and comfortable to play and sounded good.
 
Any Ibbi addicts that can tell me the exact model? It seems like SR500 or SR800, but this color (or should I say finish or whatever)
Is too awesome

Thanks in advance

I don't know what it is, but it's not a 500 or 800. The tuners look like prestige tuners, and it appears to be a neck-through. The 4 knobs are oriented differently than an 800; more in a diamond pattern. There doesn't appear to be any fretboard dots. The bridge is a B-20, the pickups appear to be AFR's. The bridge looks black, while the tuners look like cosmo chrome.
 
Can't post a pic, but I recently bought an SR505 and I LOVE it!! I can now relate to the term "this bass plays itself." Sounds great, feels and plays great. What's really nice for me is the fact that it weigh's 7.5 pounds. At 57 years old and with a problem in my neck, my 10.5 Fender 5 string Jazz was giving me a lot of problems. No such problem with my 505. It's a very sturdy, very well built bass and the electronics are dead silent. Love the tones I can get by experimenting with the mid knob and the mid switch. Lots of variation.

I used it at church for the first time this past Sunday and the band members as well as a few musicians in the congregation told me the tone was phenominal!
