While jamming tonight, I had an epiphany... (not involving Epifani, though).
I was jamming with some friends at a party and brought a 4 string. Another guy had an SR5 and I jammed on that and it made me realize many things all at once:
1) I want an SR5
2) I don't like playing 4 strings so much
3) I may need to buy a new (cheap used) car and these basses need to go for any of these reasons.
Here they is: 1) 1985 Ibanez Roadstar II
Well worn, upgraded electronics and shielded, flatwounds (includes an additional set of rounds, too!)
$SSSSSOOOOLLLLDDDD $250 local CL, details here:

3) Hohner JJ bass
No idea of body wood, but flamed maple veneer.
Active/Passive, added series/parallel switch to it. Bass and treble boost/cut, preamp gain control as well.
Chunky neck, is straight and solid, 1-9/16" nut width.
Fits Fender pickguard (as shown), which would be included if you wanted it. It's not attached, just put on for the picture.
Some play wear, but in good shape overall. BRAND NEW Prosteels on it.
10/25: Installed a set of Dimarzio Ultra Jazz pickups (bought pre-epiphany) and wired them up... HOLY TONESMACK!!! Made a HUGE difference. They are wired with push/pulls on each (series/parallel) and still have the 2 band pre w/bypass.
TTTTTTTTRADED!!!! (For an SX and extras)$200 + Shipping (with Dimarzios installed, old pickups included).
NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING! Too big, unless I removed the neck. If you are comfy with that, I can go int'l.
PM me with a ZIP CODE for a shipping quote.
Paypal is the only payment I'll accept.
NO CASES OR BAGS INCLUDED.
TRADES: I will consider them, just run them by me.
