How to get discontinued basses?

[EpicMcDude]

Hey everyone, just an update on this topic. I ended up getting an Ibanez SR-1300 Paduk/Mahogany with a Zebrawood fretboard which I didn't even knew existed. It looks stunning, the sound is incredibly clear, it's a bright sounding bass with powerful lows as well and the craftsmanship on this bass is something else. I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me with resources and wisdom in this thread, but also curse you because this is the beginning of my bankruptcy lol. (second photo is not mine but you can see the Zebrawood better)

...And that SR885 is shagging beautiful, how does it play? Do you still use it regularly?

Thanks! I just realized that you posted this way back in November. The SR885 still plays very well. I still love it. I probably do not use it nearly enough these days, as I've mainly been focusing on my 6-string basses.

Congrats on the new bass! I bought an sr1305 which should be here tomorrow. That zebrawood looks an awful lot the wenge all over my Warwick. Zebra wood is usually a lot lighter and has long thin straight dark lines. I'm almost positive you have a wenge board. I have been obsessing about this basses and I think I've read about everything I can on them that exist on the internet, and I have not seen zebrawood fretboards anywhere. Wenge is awesome wood though!
