what model/wood is this?

Ibanez tractor bass?

 

By modded you mean probably broke whichever neck was connected to that body originally. It soes look like the neck was from an el cheapo but a 1pc body (looks maybe ash or maple) would not be on a cheapo, maple is currently a mid-line body for ibby. Is it veneered top and bottom? The factthatthe tuners are two colors almost convinces me at some point the modder had two neck to play with.

The painted stripe? Srsly?

Also, I would be damn sure the pickups were not jacked up or had their leads cut too short before I considered buying the bass to harvest them, if that was the thinking.

 

No way on earth is the body plywood. That's an ash top and back. If there's a core material (doesn't looke like there is), it's probably maple.

 

isn't the whole wood pattern on the body painted? it looks that way to me, regardless of the fact that i have no idea what woods ibanez uses, and in how many pieces they make their bodies.

The dark stripe down the middle is absolutely painted. And a bad job at that. But I have no reason to think that the grain pattern is painted on. I've never heard that Ibanez did that.

 

Is the body made by Ibanez? If the body is plywood, that thing must weigh a ton!

 

its the older mij passive ibanez sr600. you could see the poor aftermarket routing in the middle pickup and the scar on the switch




the spec varies along the year

 

I'd love to see a photo of the neck pocket.

 

Who said anything about Ibanez doing it?? It's clearly a modded bass.

 

The OP says the body is made of plywood, and that the grain pattern is painted on.

 

Funky.

 

Or the worst attempt at bookmatching in human history..

 

That is definitely not a real wood anything. Looks like someones attempt to make it look like maple. It would have looked more like natural wood if they had used wood grain contact paper. That looks hideous. But for 80 bucks...
