I used to have one of these, but unmodified. It looks like you changed the pickups, preamp, and even the trussrod cover. As you can see, I liked mine so much, my '78 Jazz was relegated to my backup bass! |

There's one in impeccable condition for sale here, the guy is asking big money though, in my opinion. He wants 450 Euros for it. http://link.marktplaats.nl/375104878 |

Seeing it that way kind of upset me. I had iit fixed it back p to origial, though now the fret dots are abalone. |

Here’s a question: Did you have a ‘Bean’ style bass made because Ibanez never made lefties or because they are hard to find? Curious as I’ve always been on the lookout for one myself. |

Wow- I haven't visited this thread in a loooooong time! But yeah-I really dug those 80's Ibanez ‘Bean’ style basses and was always on the lookout for a lefty too (AFAIK Ibanez didn't make any lefties, but you can never be absolutely sure)... So this one of a kind lefty based on the Ibanez bean design was custom built by Behold The Lion in the USA back in the mid 2000's. I was in touch with the builder back then but eventually lost track, and after a few years they vanished as so many small builders do. As I recall they only did lefty basses, and you can tell from feel of it and the attention to detail that it was a quality build and hand crafted. It is a full 34" scale, beautiful spalted maple top on a mahogany body, and the active EMG electronics sound great- very cool little bass! I did notice Adirondack Guitars recently sold another old Behold The Lion build on Reverb: https://reverb.com/item/10789808-used-c ... s-with-bag |

I was just thinking about how your '78 Jazz got relegated to backup status back in the day... and how few would consider doing that now- yet the truth of the matter is that on the objective merits of tone versatility and comfort, the RB850 can still kick a '78 Jazzes butt. |
