The Burpster Posted March 23, 2008 Author Posted March 23, 2008 133 views and not a single comment? She's getting sad that noone wants to give her a new home!
David Nimrod Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 That's a beautiful bass, a piece of Ibanez history, beautifully restored (improved!). Good luck with the sale

Must admit, I'm one of the 133 who viewed and didn't comment but it was more because I was having to control my GAS at that point to be honest! The phrase 'if I could, I would' springs to mind Good luck with the sale.. Look forward to meeting you at the Bash next week! Nik
andy67 Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 it is a fantastic bass, but pray tell...how you came about the price for it? I recall buying mine for £179 in 83. I sold it in 89 and have regretted it eversince plus, seeing this pricetag makes me even more sick! andy

Even the JapCrap purist in me has to admit it's unique & sodding gorgeous! Jon.
