geilerbass Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Looks like an original one of these: [url="http://www.ibanezregister.com/Gallery/basses/sr/gal-sr500.htm"]SR 500[/url] Nice looking instrument at a very reasonable price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Can I ask you (not in the market to buy, sorry) which you prefer of the SGC Nanyo and this, and why? Is this as lightweight, for example, with a similarly skinny neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDGR BASS COLLECTION WEIGHT 3170 3250 Body Width (widest part) 320 310 Body Width (neck of body) 21 19 Bridge to PU 40 / 95 45 / 90 Neck width (24 th fret) 60 60 Neck width (1st fret) 38 40 Thickness of neck (1st fret) 20 22 Distance between strap buttons 52 48 From bridge strap button to bottom horn 38 35 so.... very similar! SDGR body slightly bigger - but a touch lighter (my other BCs weighed a touch more at approx 3340) PU placement different - especially as P-pickups 'reversed' on the SDGR... playability pretty similar too - neck 'feels' just slightly thicker on the BC (only when compared to the SDGR - feels slim and narrow against other basses) preference? - i've always liked the BC's so it probably just edges it against this one (but tthe SDGR 1000 i've got is better still !!) hope this helps roger [attachment=88916:sdgr_bc_01.jpg][attachment=88917:sdgr_bc_02.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelk27 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Ibanez would tell you that the SR neck is 19mm deep at the 1st and 21mm deep at the 12th. But, as others have already identified, what you've got there is an SR500BS (as in brown sunburst), and the serial does indeed tell you that it was built by FujiGen in '92. You can be certain about the model, not just from looking up catalogues, but because the factory stamp the model number in the body neck pocket. A very nice, original, MIJ SR.

Paul S Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Roger, thank you - very helpful. I have a Bass Collection and like it a lot, I wondered how this was in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lists one of the colour options as sunburst, so I'd be fairly certain it's a '92/'93 SR500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Sorry about this - take it as a bump - but can I ask you what is the difference between your SDGR 1000 and this one, please? What makes it better than the Bass Collection? I am trying to find out as much about all these different lightweight bass options as I can without necessarily buying them all!
