Something something gorgeous something blue something something really well done. ;P
Seriously, the pattern, the history, and the mojo of that instrument can be felt from those pics. Killer instrument!

Show me your best couch pics
Awesome ! Besides the traditional Jazz Shape nothing else about it looks traditional.
Are you pulling a fretno and teasing us with just 1 partial picture ??
Please share more pictures. I'd love to see the whole Bass front and back.
I'd also be interested to see it w/ the Green finish.
I've been contemplating building a bound Slab Jazz body to stick a Tele neck on.
The pickup and controls layout you have is giving me some ideas.
Thanks
I like how you try to slip that EHB in there with all those Dings! Gorgeous collection!
you know..... it’s grown on me a lot since my first impression. It plays very nicely and sounds great. It has some cons too, I may have mentioned previously but it’s one of the best, if not thee best Ibanez I’ve played.
Current cons:
-Ibanez factory quality control.
-Lack of sustain(not huge deal)
-Vibration carry over to other strings
-Fretboard radius.... feels very flat conpared to what I’m used to.
-I would like to squeak a bit more string spacing out of it.
pros:
-sounds great
-super light weight
-compact
-neck feels fantastic(aside from radius)
thanks for the family compliment! I don’t have one that I think I could easily part with.....I’m of the mindset it’s always good to have one in the collection that you could sell easily enough if money is required elsewhere.....
I think I’d try selling a kid or a kidney first.

I wonder if they went with a flatter radius for people easing into multiscale?
I don't blame you for not wanting to part with any of them. I wish I had the disposable income and/or justification to acquire a few beauts like these...
I couldn’t really tell you why they chose it this way. Perhaps a compound radius would be more costly to do successfully in a production instrument? And with that this may be the best profile to keep the neck slim and fast feeling?
I will say, I chose a path that put me focusing my efforts on a career amongst other things for a long time. That allowed me the position to have a few nice instruments but on the other hand it cost me some valuable time and perhaps experience. I love what I got but I’m also envious of the players that have travelled the world or just made a happy live out of their passion. Despite the fact they may have only 1 or 2 beat up low cost instruments the fulfilment I assume is a lot more satisfying then the material aspect. Not to say I wouldn’t do things different but... pros/cons..
Yeah, we had twins sooooooooooooooooooo the the diapers from the get-go... lol love my munchkins and one day, I will turn their room into my bass room when they are gone.
Been, Halfway there. No 2fer but my son turned 18 this year and has flown the coup... I now have a bass room/ spare bedroom....in case he needs it... 5 more years and I might get another 100 sqft of real estate depending on my daughters plans
Edit: sorry for the derail folks
This Basswood bodied lightweight doesn't leave any dent in the couch. 7 lbs 12 oz of Bad-Assery
No
But it's light enough that you don't get tired carrying it. Basswood body.
I can tell you how to do a fairly inexpensive strap pin extension if you ever decide that you're tired of carrying it and want to relax. Lightweight tuners help dependant on how neck heavy it is.
I took power tools to my 6 lb 14 oz Schecter dUg Pinnick Baron H 35" Extra long scale just 7 days after it was delivered new. Pin ext also helps me to reach the last tuner.
