Hi all,

I remember in 1986 going into a guitar shop in Tucson, Az. and playing a left-handed Ibanez Roadstar 2 bass. I really wanted it, but at 22 years old and no money, it was not to be. About a month ago on the local Craigslist this guy was up for sale and a flood gate was opened. The price was $60 and included a hardcase, and after 23 years it's been worth the wait.
Thanks for letting me share!

Bill

Man, that is so cool! Some things are just meant to be aren't they? I have a similar story with a Gibson SG.
