Nice bass! I've been wanting one of those Artstars for a few months now. How does it balance?
Those basses are really one of those Ibanezes that you don't see often, and I wonder how the feel/sound/play.

It's an Artstar from the early '90s I guess. Maybe it's a '89. Model name is AB200, from the Artstar serie. It's a really high quality built instrument and I have never seen one before.
On the net I was able only to find this:

It's all maple, made in Japan with a fully adjustable bridge. Really peculiar neck which they call as you see super wood, it a multilaminate neck ( a la kubicki).
Sound is really full and warm, with accuracy. Balance is more than decent ( it's always a semi hollow bass...)
Glad you like my not so famous Ibanez!

I started on a GSR200, and got quite a few Ibby guitars. Found this 'new old stock' 2004 model Roadgear 605 in blackberry, comes stock with "real duncans" and an eq on/off switch, unlike the new model. Paid £250 which is about £100 cheaper than the new model too. Bargain!
I took a closer look at the back of the neck and it has GTR 75 on it instead of just TR 75 also above the "Ibanez" on the head it has GIO instead of TR Series.
My New Bass got it a few days ago this is from the BTB series

I almost bought another Ibby today, but got outbid
70's Ibby lawsuit bass, fretless too
Bumpin this thread for a pretty MIJ SR on the bay for a steal of a price. Looks like it could be an older SR800 or 4/500. Hard to tell sometimes with the older Japan models. The grain and wine color is nice and at $162 with 15 hours left as of now, its worth snagging. Great bass to mod, I wish I had the cash...

If that is indeed a Japanese Soundgear, that is a steal. Personally, I've been on the hunt for some Ibanez lawsuit basses... in particular, SG copies.
In any case, check out this Ibanez Challenger;
I've played some Ibanez lawsuit jazz/precisions before and they are awesome... that one is going for a little less than $200.00 if my memory serves me correctly.

Ibanez RD300. It hasn't got much on all your Ibby's but its my first bass and I love it to death 
It remains my favourite out of all the basses I've played
PS: It's a bit dirty, needs a clean
