    I'm trying to have one go before one comes in so a few are on the block for cheap. If what I'm looking at goes I'll be closing this. MIJ goodness on the cheap! Here's the description:
    The concept of the VWB1 is to meld traditional construction and look, with modern active electronics. The hard-contoured solid alder Sound Gear body matched with a thick, round neck gives the bass a solid feel and a rich bass tone with excellent sustain. The neck is complemented with a gorgeous 24 fret ebony fingerboard with abalone dot inlays. The pearloid front pickguard and to buckle guard on the back provide protection to the finish during a raucous Earth Wind & Fire show. The active Ibanez AFR PJ pickup combination along with a custom designed three-band EQ provide a warm but focused tone that can only be described as funky. Simply pulling up the volume knob can activate a variable gain boost.
    Details

    Hard contour body
    The hard contour gives the body a traditional look and a rock solid feel. The specially designed pearloid pickguard and belt-guard on the rear protect the lustrous cream finish

    All Access Neck joint
    The All Access Neck joint tightly secures the neck to the body while allowing for easy access to the upper registers

    Ibanez AFR PJ pickups
    This pickup combination allows for maximum tonal flexibility on the stage or in the studio

    Active three-hand EQ / preamp
    A specially tuned midrange control allows for radical tone shaping. Pulling on the volume control kicks in a gain boost circuit for additional volume and punch. A trim pot inside the control cavity can adjust the amount of gain.
