So they expect someone to shell out $9,500 for an Ibanez that's such an amazing bass that Stanley Clarke, receiving it as a gift, got rid of it?  I guess there's one born every minute!
 
Bill, tgo

We had a recent post about this in July 2010, with a link to Gbase.
 
Here's an even earlier thread, from February 2006.

One off as in serial # 0001 and there are no others. Needs some electronics work but a good bass with a very comfortable neck and then there's the provenance ...
 
Hilarious!!!

For $9500 they could at least fix the electronics, eh?

Money aside, if I had a bass collection I would want that one.

He states that there was only one.  I remember seeing the pic on Stanly's album where it shows 2.
