It actually looks more like the Verdine White Ibby pickguard, or the RKB I should say. It will look good never the less, and those Darkstars are gonna KILL!





I really want one of the SR1200 series, specifaclly these below which are the last run from 1996-1997. I've been GAS'n hard for a 1200 4 string lately and would give it some mods to make it "more like me" to say the least. Anyone seen/play one in person? I think there are a couple guys here with em. I'm torn between getting one of these used and getting a BTB 1206e to defret... I like both basses but the 1200 is a rare find.


I think these are the sexiest SR's Ibanez ever made...

To elaborate on the differences between the old 900 and the new, the newer has a light ash body and an extra switch. I'm not sure if it's an active-passive switch, or an extra coil toggle, but it looks hot!

The older model (which I absolutely want) has a mahogany body with a flamed maple top, and a coil switch for the humbucker.

Marcus,

I have been semi-computerless for almost a month so am slowly catching up here. Forgive me if someone else pointed this out.

The link you gave previously shows the following under the "Item Specs" tab:

Ibanez RD900FM Bass Guitar with Flame Maple Top (Natural Finish)

Ibanez RD900FM Features and Specifications

Neck Type: Ibanez RD4
Neck Material: Maple
Body: Mahogany with Flamed Maple Top
24 Medium frets
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Bridge: Ibanez B400
Neck Pickup: Basslines Ibanez J4
Bridge Pickup: Basslines Ibanez M4
Inlay: Abalone Dot
Hardware Color: Chrome
Electronics: EQB-IID 2-band EQ with EQ Bypass switch

So that switch is an EQ bypass and not a coil tap. Or, at least according to what AM says. :)

Did you buy one? Very nice looking!

Walfy

Hey Walfy,

I didn't notice that before on the specs ^_^;;

I never did get around to buying one because I put together my own bass. I can always dream though.

With a good setup, it plays really awesome. It has a fairly low output (at least on the Fairlane model in the picture) though, which isn't an issue if you own a DI box, or even just a good EQ with a good boost. Fit and finish are especially good for a low-cost instrument.
