Welcome to the Row.
The Ibanez should be a good bass, known for its light weight and easy playablity and costs only a bit more than the Gibson did when it was introduced in 1972!
I'd be interested as well in what you found difficult with the SB 450. It is an early Gibson bass that was at the low end of the current price scale, but although it only appeared in the Gibson catalogue for a couple of years (72-74, but remained available until 78) , it appeared to be receive good comments in the reviews at that time.
