I thought maybe those holes were an attempt to lighten it.

What's this "intonation" of which you speak?
I have decided to use your BadBird I In the forever build and leave this bridge in the Broken Bird(henceforth to be known as Phoenix).
The rare times that there will be a Bird in a store is typically the Sam Ash here.
It was the Queens store the had the one and only VP i've ever seen.

A bird in the store is worth two in the... bush... or something. Ahem.
I mean.......it's Guitar Center, aren't they basically an Ibanez outlet store?

They all chose folk or are hiding until they see their chosen.
The Round Rock (small city just north of Austin) GC usually has one Epi IV hanging. Where it is on the wall seems pretty random. Mine was eyeball level; the last time I was in, the current bird was 15 feet up.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the store.

I'd happily settle for a Epiphone Vintage Pro Inverness II.

and not one I'd look twice at...
I dunno. Honestly, I've played those Ibanez Soundgear basses and they are really nice and fast. Cheap little workhorses, don't discount them.

I briefly owned an SG 5'r and agree they are very playable, decent sounding basses. I still wouldn't look twice at them as a matter of what I personally find engaging about a bass. That's why there are so many different basses out there.
Yeah, I've owned 3 of them over the years. And back when I was gigging and we went in the studio that was what I took just because it was a solid little workhorse. I actually regret selling the last one I had, and may pick up another in the future.
My cat thinks it is an elephant but it sings well.
