I purchased a used bass online and I'm trying to find a wiring diagram for it but the Ibanez website only goes back to 1994. I was told it was an 89 SR 800, but now I'm not sure. If anybody knows of a site I could use for vintage electronics, that would be great. You can view the bass on my BandMix site by following the link below. Please email me if you can identify the year and model. Sorry for my ignorance, this is my first Ibanez. Thanks for your help. BigMacBassMan

What exactly are you wanting the diagram for? Has it been changed or not working? Even though the Ibanez site only goes back to 94, did you contact their tech support? They might still help out. Also, some pickup companies will help with the wiring diagram. Hope this helps.

good advise rat.
Wow a chick w/3 cheeks.... cheeky!
I had an SR800 soundgear and your's looks similar but It's been a while. I would say no and it's another model but that is just a guess. It's been a while but I believe the SR 800's all came w/active pick-up's... again a guess...
I'm a life long musician therefore I don't remember much!

Thanks for your input guys. I did find a link on the Ibanez website for some vintage catalogs. It looks like my bass may be a 88 or 89 but the ones in the catalog did not have pickguards. The reason I need the diagram is the wiring and pots looked like a birdsnest. The pups look fine and I wanted to keep it as original as possible. I may end up just hot rodding it out with some EMG's. Thanks again. By the way, that's my sister your talkin' bout!!!!
