Yup, first actual "new" bass in a long time. The Ibanez TMB-310.

Had it shipped to work so I could open it immediately. Zzounds worked another miracle and had it shipped in about 16 hrs from time of order.:wideyed:

Came set up okay. Most I could find was the neck has a lot of relief, but the instrument itself survived shipping. I'll have the check the electronics when I get home.

I'm still floored by the finish. Sure it's not for everyone, but this is DEFINITELY a head turner, whether you like it or not.

Suppose I should get back to work. *sigh*:unsure:

Congratulations!

If I knew you wanted one I would have sold you mine. Great bass, but it sits in a case. I dug it when I bought it but as with most fancy sparkly items I lose interest. Mine came with a heavily birdseyed neck. Did yours? Or was mine a fluke?

Anyway, congratulations on the NBD, I hope you stay enthralled and play it as it should be played.

Good bass for a great price...best color, too.
I wish Ibanez would offer this finish and maybe a few other sparkle finishes on the TMB600.
