FT: Ibanez ATK305 Trifade Burst - satinized and customized

Picked this bass up during the Music123 clearance sale. I satinized the the finish to be really, really smooth from the stock sticky candy apple-like finish. You can see some swirl marks from the satinizing process but I think it looks great. The headstock logo came off during the satinizing and some of the finish chipped around the tuner ferrules when I removed them. Ibanez must install them when the finish is still curing. I custom made stainless washers to cover up the chipped areas which I get countless compliments on. The bridge plate, knobs, and tuner clovers were also satinized.
With that said, the bass plays like new because it basically is new, having been used for no more than 5 gigs. It sounds great and functions perfectly. Weighs in at about 10 lbs and is somehow lighter than the 4 string ATK300 I used to own.
I'm interested in adding a P Bass to my collection, preferably a black one with Maple neck. I'm open to all offers, though.
