this bass is pretty incredible in my opinion, back when they were handmade

Not a bad price for such a piece of history. Whoever bought it is very happy I'm sure!

I've been wondering for a while what a short scale further bass would look like, and I'm guessing this is the closest approximation of such a beast.....

Kind of makes me wonder if the Stanley Clarke Ibanez we've all seen was indeed made for/owned by him...
