The 5-String club Part 2

Having been without a 5er for a few months, I'm in as of 2 weeks ago:

I'm so enjoying having a B string again, especially having put a set of .136 Circle Ks on almost straight away. I've never had a B that I could play like any other string before - and I'd never have expected that on a 34" scale. Great bass, great strings.
 
Proud owner of an Ibanez Roadstar II 5 string, from 1985.

Oh, wait, I also have another one, made 2 months from the other, this one I made fretless.

Number please (665 if possible)? Pics available if necessary...
