I must say, Ibanez hit a home run with this Bass.
 
Yea Ibanez is really trying to kick my wallets ass this winter. This new series, the GVB Sig, that cool hybrid fretless thing. Heck even the new SRA series that is replacing the GSR looks very nice, i wont even say for the price. Simply nice looking stuff.
 
Was that the Roadstar II? I always wondered why they discontinued that one. They lost me after that.



I believe you are thinking of the "Musician Series" basses that resembles the Spector NS Series Basses. They've made a re-issue of that particular bass (Musician Series).IMHO,I think they screwed it (the re-issue) up. BIG TIME.
Absolutely horrendous inlays.#@!*^%:eek:. Sorry. I just threw up in my mouth. And,to top it off? I think it's in the neighborhood of 10k!!!
