It really does stand out.

Nice...!

That's been your "classic" lineup, much like my preferred... what sort of music were you playing...?

 All 70's and 80's for the most part. These guys are totally nuts.

Those are some killer basses.  I remember when they came out and I could't dream of affording one.  The catalog had that killer Blitz with flame top, X2N pickups and the loooong headstock. :)

One on Ebay for a lot more than you paid, Scott.  Does have a case, though...

It's making me think I need one of those new Ibanez pointys  ;)

Mark while the Ibanez is certainly cool and worth a look you could get a Blitz for the same kind of money. My gunmetal blue Kahler Blitz cost me $450, the white pearl cost me $350.
