Back to the Future Ripper ...
« on: May 27, 2010, 04:42:44 AM »
Some daring, even radical originality there ...

Hopefully, it comes with a user manual.  :mrgreen:

Sorry I looked. I normally stop looking as soon as I see "RARE!"

Nice way to spin a modified bass as something special. Still, it doesn't look abused, and maybe whoever modded it did know what he was doing.

I would play it if it had some more controls.

More controls? I think you'll need some kind of license to play this bass then.

I'd be curious to see how much wood is left under that pickguard.

I'd go $200 on it - maybe.  It would make a good restoration project.
