Congrats on a great score. This one looked really nice and the stereo set necks are tough to find. If I had not snagged the Burgundy Pro and Custom Pro I would have thought about it but with my EGAS where it is now I am flirting with disaster and my wifes wrath if I do much more. Will be waiting to see the pics and I hope to have some of my pics up soon when the X810N and Burgundy Pro arrive. Congrats again :up:

The fellow I got it from wants a Custom Pro pretty badly. He offered to swap the bass for mine, but I tell ya....it's hard for me to turn loose an Electra semi-hollow. Real hard.

Anytime you want your money back on that Burgundy Pro......I'm ready. :hyper:

This bass is an 8.5 or a hair better/10. All original and plays great. The finish is great...a few binding cracks, light beltbuckle, and binding adhesive staining....but it's a real beauty.

I'm havin so much fun with this thing....that it might just be a while before I move it on. I think the wife is getting a bit annoyed with my digging around on the bass. She has to keep moving her trinkets back in place.

I'm collectin 70's Ibanez as well as Electras now and darned if I don't enjoy my Electras much more. I hardly ever take an Ibanez down to play with. They are pretty to look at....heck, they're all pretty to look at. That's one of my BIG problems, eh?. But....when I grab one up....it turns out to be Electra. :oops:

I sold my Ibanez Ric copy a while back...it was a bolt, but looked about the same as this one. Sure didn't feel this good though.

If mcbrat has to pass on it for some reason, I'll take second in line. I want one of these far more than a real Rick. Looks gorgeous!

These models are very nice. The set necks make all the difference in tone. Other than the truss rod cover and maybe the pups it is a rick. I would take one of these any day. Congrats on a great score. I like Ibanez also but I agree that the Electra guitars are far more playable and affordable. :up:
