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 |

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.
