I bought an '86 RB 850 back in '88; I loved the bass, and used it exclusively for a few years, preferring it over my '83 piece of shit p-bass and my '85 Jazz. The first 2 times I recorded in a studio were with this bass.
Later, I bought a new Soundgear 800, thinking it would be even better. It was not. Unfortunately, I sold the RB 850 to a lefty friend who defretted it. A couple of years later, He bought a new fretless Stingray 5, and offered me back the RB 850.
A few years later my friend decided to move up north and sold me his Stingray, so I sold the Ibanez and never saw it again, until a month ago. I had been looking for an RB 850 for a few years without any luck anyway, so I figure why not get my old one and have it refretted?
