Guitar Center used site

I am not sure if it was used or just marked down, but the Guitar Center in Southfield, MI has an Ivory White (possibly even Pearl) Sting Ray HH5 with all gold hardware for $999.99. Didn't play it as it was after a lot of driving and a two hour professional meeting in between the driving shifts and I was pretty tired, but it sure looks pretty!
can't seem to find this one...would love to snag that, wanted one of those for years...
anyone here pick up that black Sadowsky Metro UV 5 string for $1799.99? Was gonna order it, but got busy at work and it was gone by the time I was able to sit down in front of my computer. Just wanted to see who i should thank 
Didn't get the Sadowsky,...but I DID grab the Source Audio Bass envelope pro for $59.99. Sales guy said it looked like it had never been used. Damn nice deal considering they usually go used for over twice that price!

Could be (and the price would suggest) that it is a Japanese 1962 reissue. Looks like a replacement pickguard though.
Ran through one of these a time or two, wasn't crazy about it, but it's a heckuva good price [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
I assumed by the tuners as mentioned and logo it's a MIJ.
As far as the body - the aftermarket PG had me thinking the previous owner had changed the pots/wiring to VVT.
I was going to try and check it out. See if that was the case or a MIJ neck on a parts body.
Nice find. These are tricky. If all original, basswood and no hootenanny button on back of headstock, good but not great. If alder body and U.S. pickups, sweet deal on a JB62-US. If two piece alder body, nitro finish...screaming deal. That would make it a JB62-VSP which is the Fender Japan equivent of an AVRI. They come with a fancy gig bag. Inquiring minds!
Thanks for the additional info what to look for.
I know certain tells being a J bass fan, but know nothing next to the Fender players.
I'm going on Friday or Saturday. I have to pass through that way.
Figured I look and report back in case it is the sweet deal it may be, great bass for someone wanting to get into a decent J that normally couldn't afford it.
EDIT 4/30 It sold Thursday night before i could get there.
