looks sweet! ishibashi is a great place. if you aren't talking to anyone there, ask for Rachel Maurer. she's a great employee, a credit to ishibashi.
Nice!
It's the 56,952 yen price for those outside of Japan.
EMS has gone up a little bit since fuel costs. Expect $100~120 w/o case and maybe a bit more if it has a heavy hardshell case ALTHOUGH a LOT of basses from Japan come in gigbags.

Don't hesitate, this is a great deal, you're gonna have a fantastic instrument!
I just got my 75RI from Ishibashi two months ago: it's brilliant. The tone, the look, the feel, everything is well done. Only problem is the weight (12+ lbs), but this is typical 75RI. Your 62RI is gonna be light, under 9 lbs as far as I know.

close but...
62 is the model 1962 copy
83 is MSRP 83,000 yen
3TS IS A 3 tone color sunburst finish
That MSRP-part was something I was unaware of...
Ishibashi pack their stuff REAL well, mine came in a gigbag, and I can just say that they put bubble-wrap everywhere it's physically possible.
