Here a pic of the bass I bought on Ebay yesterday. I had purchased a new one just like it from an online store but they have never shipped it. I cancelled the online order and did a buy it now on ebay for this one. I should have it sometime next week.

Nice one, probably cost less too! Is that a matching headstock?

It sure is! I saved a little coin by getting the used one instead of the one on closeout. I don't think I will ever know the difference.

Hillsidebass sold an SR5 a while back in exactly the same color combo. It sold to someone overseas and brought big bucks so I didn't even bid on it. This one was on a buy it now for $799 plus $30 shipping. I feel like I stole it!

What in the heck is in the background?? A huge stock of multicolored Ibanez Gem pickups???

The guy that sold it owns a music store. According to the auction, he originally sold the bass to someone 3 years ago and it was just traded back in.

Looks like pickups in the background and pedals in the glass case that it's sitting on.

What a smokin deal. Congrats Larry. Only thing better than scoring a sweet bass is getting it at a great price.

Beautiful bass, Larry - glad it worked out for you!

Thanks. I started to tell them to cancel the order Monday. After all, I ordered an in stock bass on August 1st and was told it would ship in about two weeks because they were moving their warehouse. I'm so glad I saw that bass on Ebay.

BTW - I got my home PC back today and it's up and running! :)
