Nice bass!

What I meant by the title was I looked at it for like 30 sec and hit the buy now button... no real clear thought... It was.. "it's a V, it's Bass, it's a V it's not a cheap piece of shit, it's a V, it's black, it's a V, it has a mahogany body and it's a V.... it's mine!"
Plus I've been buying a lot of gear [for me] lately.....
go with it sarge...
go with it!!!

One point, Have have bought gear from the seller before, so that had a bit of play in it as well.

HA that's badass, i actually never seen a Flying V bass before.... i just recently played with a flying V guitar (in Guitar Center, ehh) and i never understood the enthusiasm for them but now i freaking love it.... granted my impulses were quickly dashed by the realization that my debt is the end result of ten years of impulse buys.... anybody need a slightly used Slam Man, Ab Cruncher, Juice Man or 247 pocket knives.....???

For me when I first started playing and I first saw a V it was like "now that is a ELECTRIC guitar!", my first guitar was a V too [it's in the SYG thread, it's white] so yeah I love the things, and they really have their own sound to them, their shape acts kind of like a tuning fork, play one really hard and or make one feed back and you will see what I mean.

Neither! It is a Burny from Japan. These basses were from all I can tell never exported to the States, or at least not very many of them. From all accounts I read about Burny it's going to be on par or better then a Gibson. So this is a used bass I found on e-bay and am having it shipped from Japan.
Here is a catalog pict...
