Ridiculously cool and ridiculously priced!  :o  :rolleyes:

Yikes! 3K starting bid? I don't care how rare it is, it's still an Ibanez.

I like that Ibanez (although not for that price) and the split looks good on it:)

I have serious doubts whether that bridge pup is even original. In any case, the Rocket Roll Flying V basses like this is one came out after the Gibson Flying V bass, only the initial maho wood, different pup set Ibanez Flying V basses preceded the Gibson ones.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Did you ever get a replacement?

Did I miss something?

The bridge pup is original, the pickup configuration is the same as my Ibanez Destroyer when it was new. This bass is the sister to the Destroyer. I had my choice that day at the HOG they had just come in I am glad I got the Destroyer!
