Any way that I can use to understand if my SR375's fretboard is rosewood or jatoba? It is a IBANEZ SR375-BBS from IDK which year tbh (for sure pre 2016).
Will post some pics later.

Per Fandom, it's rosewood.

Is it this model? It was in production 2011-15 and BBS is one of the finishes: Blackberry Sunburst.

The Ibanez fan wiki isn't perfect (or comprehensive) but their data is from official Ibanez publications whenever possible so I consider it reasonably trustworthy.

You can look up the serial number to get the date of manufacture.

Agreed, but at the bottom some of the old Ibanez pages are archived via wayback, such as this one from 2015.

Sometimes FBs vary region to region, but I don't think it's all that common.

Genuine question @cucumis , why do you care?

I posted this on Ibanez Bass FB page, but wanted to show my Ibanez SR890 here as well.

I bought it for a very good price locally. It was in awful state but after thorough set up its a dream to play on.

That is , its a dream to play on acoustically as I only get hum, buzz and horror when plugged in.

There are 2 wires that are disconnected and output jack is not original.
Whole situation under the hood looks complicated so I am looking for original schematic.

Hope someone can help

Would an ibanez sr800le fretless for 500 euros be considered a good deal? It is reportedly in good conditions, although I still need to see it in person

Given its serial number, it is a 1989 model produced by FujiGen Gakki in Nagano

Was considering converting the bass to fretless, although this was my first "real" bass and I probably should not do it (would probably regret it later)

This arrived today. USA Bartolini soap bars immediately installed. This single cut is absolutely pristine. There is not a mark on it. New strings and set up now and then a full test. And of course nice and light at 8 1/2 pounds.

Golly. I don't think I've ever seen one this clean.

Which Bartolini pu did you install? Instead of which pu?
