Ibanez SR800 for Yamaha RBX260F

[Ethan.]

So I'm trying to trade a bass... I have a Yamaha RBX260F (fretless) for a bass with frets. I might even sell it. I dunno, but I want a new bass with frets. Starting out with a fretless is a disaster and it doesn't really work right for me...

But I got offered an Ibanez SR800 for it. I looked up SR800s and they look like good basses. I know Ibanez is a good name too.

So should I do it?

BTW my band plays hard rock/metal...

[Ethan.]

Come on... please? help?

[Napes]

Can you go try it out?? Thatd be your best bet.
I would probably do it. Just value wise the SR800 is higher than your yamaha for sure so unless its all crapped out you're not getting screwed over.

i would probably do it...i love ibanezes, especially the SRs:thumb:

yea just make sure the ibanez isnt messed up

[Roogen]

Yeah I'm a big fan of actually trying it out if you can, I know the ibanez should sound good, but you never know what your gonna get. No two basses are exactly alike!

I would do it, those are great basses.

Thats a big step up in terms of quality,but it really depends on if you like the Ibanez.

OK thanks... there is a small chip and the truss rod cover is missing.

Is a truss rod cover easy to find/required for playing/inexpensive?

What is a truss rod cover? :lol:

It is a little plastic piece on the headstock that covers the opening to the truss rod, it doesn't affect playability. You can replace it if you want, but I wouldn't worry about it.

Oh thats awesome. I can't believe this guy wants to do this.

The only thing that is bad on my part is the gas money I have to spend going there which is kind of far away.
