Yep, I know. 
Many of those VI models just scream āguitarā to me.

Iāve noticed the prices of early models, as you say, basically the same as a new one. Youāve got me thinking ā¦ next significant birthdayā¦

Hmm. The guy selling the SBV-J1 now has it down in tempting pricing.
I donāt want a J but this is more or less the pinnacle of the SBV-500 style. I already own the pinnacle of the SBV-550 style so this isnāt super tempting for me but these are a really limited edition bass, only 100 exist.
I think the only one left on my must buy list is the SBV-J2 (the double-P version of the J1 there).

I posted it for that reason 
PM sent. Might need to ping their US site and see about cross-buying items in Japan.

Does bass porn have to be expensive?
Iām really liking the look of these, and would really like to try one.
Just over Ā£200.
At one point, I had a Hagstrom semi hollow bass. It looked fantastic, but was a pig to play. Iād love to have a go on one of these to see how they playā¦

Speaking of which, cute Yamaha RBX 550 for $100 (used obviously)
That would actually be a fantastic starter bass for someone.

The short scale version (HB60WB) is also tempting but Ā£6 more

Beautiful instrument.
It would also entirely obviate your TRB, which means you could give it to me!

Thatās a stone beauty, brother. But when waiting on a Mayones custom build, patience is a virtueā¦that is severely overrated.

I picked up one of these off Reverb about 6 months ago. I was admittedly a little nervous because of the price point but I have zero regrets. It sounds great, is fun to play, and is even prettier in person.
