Author Message Barretteman Username: Barretteman Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Thursday, August 25, 2005 - 7:49 am:    Good morning everyone ! I have this bass for 9 years now and I still don't know what is the model, it's manufacturing date, it's value, and if it is rare or not. Please, can anyone help me identify my particular model number or name? any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the picture of my Ibanez : (large) http://cf.geocities.com/francois_barrette/ibanez_sdgr_lg.jpg (small) http://cf.geocities.com/francois_barrette/ibanez_sdgr.jpg It's a 5-strings SDGR, serial:F764940 and the only other inscriptions are "GOTOH" under the machine heads and "Regulated LO-Z from Ibanez" on the pickups. The controls looks like EQBII but I'm not shure. Once again, any help from any of you experts will be greatly appreciated. Frank Barrette P.S.:Your site is great, keep up the good work! Olafreijnders Username: Olafreijnders Registered: 07-2005 Posted on Thursday, August 25, 2005 - 8:09 am:    Your links does'nt work. According to the serial it's a '97 Japanese bass. Barretteman Username: Barretteman Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Thursday, August 25, 2005 - 9:09 am:    Thanks for telling me about the links, I read the FAQ about pictures and here's a small one : The pictures on my geocities site will be available in about 30 minutes or so (I've exceded the bandwidth this morning). It's a strange thing that you say it's a '97 because I bought it as used in late '96 or early '97... Thanks again.

Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Thursday, August 25, 2005 - 11:07 pm:    Guys: I can't find a picture of an SR885 that has a neck pickup that is on an angle. Barrettman, is it my eyes or is your's on an angle?

Here's a link to a scan of the 1989 catalog that shows that model as well... Juergen Olafreijnders Username: Olafreijnders Registered: 07-2005 Posted on Friday, August 26, 2005 - 9:59 am:    Interessting. Good to kow that it was changed in "87 instead of "90, what would be more obvious. Barretteman Username: Barretteman Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Friday, August 26, 2005 - 11:39 am:    Hi everyone, Thanks for your support. Johns, yes, the neck pickup is on an angle. Yogi, thank you for linking me to ibanezrules.com website. I also find the '89 price list there. Olafreijnders, thank you for the brazilian link. That bass is on sale for $564 USD. Once again, thank you all! Frank Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, August 26, 2005 - 12:59 pm:    Okay, thanks for the link to the 87 catalog. Now, I'd say it's a 1987 model SR 885LE, also.
