Felt like I should get little Ibanez Family photo
 
I couldn't resist...
Bought an Ashdown roasted saint with a soapbar humbucker.
I had bought another one, in black, earlier this year, with a PJ configuration, and it has become my favourite bass ever since.
This one doesn't disappoint either.
That single pickup sounds very powerful.
The green isn't really my shade of colour, but, since my PJ version is black, I thought a different shade would make do. At least it's better than shrimp-ish pink. So.
This bass sounds so powerfull, I bet it screams for nylonwound flats, but the d'Addario rounds it came with sound decent.
I've been loving mine. As you saw in my NBD thread, I was an early buyer. It's still one of my favored players.

I favor greens myself. The Onyx Green Metallic Saint Soap, a Birch Green Player II and a Seafoam Green Sonic P.

Not sure if you noticed, mine was an early production model, with the dual rail humbucker under the solid cover. You seem to be enjoying the 'Tron slotted style pickup. Mine is still wearing a set of DR Pure Blues. I've been gradually changing my roundwound strung basses with GHS Round Core Bass Boomers.
 
My new to me '24 Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz Bass in seafoam green. I've already modded it by putting a brass grounding strap from the bridge to the pickup.
lovely bass!

what made you put a brass grounding strip on it?

i have a grounding strip on my CIJ 62 and i've thought about removing it so that the grounding is not visible...
 
I recently purchased a unfinished 1978 fretless P bass, original pickups and i just took off the bridge cover. (previously dark mocha but the owner sanded it down)

What would you do with this unfinished bass? Would love to hear ideas! If i didnt also own this Peavey T-40 i would probably not even worry about getting it refinished.

There's no finish whatsoever on that bass?
