Since when do you like binding, block inlays and gold hardware?

You're a completist. You want it anyway.

Ouch, that is a four letter word.

Mr. Uwe, sir...I think you should buy it. And if you hate it, I would be more than willing to trade you my 1965 RS Guitarworks refin reverse thunderbird sunburst reliced IV.

What color are you going to refin it ?


Those stainless steel guards would look nice on it.

Uwe, that's gonna look great on your wall.  :mrgreen:

I've been considering a drastic career change lately and law keeps coming to the forefront. I can't say it's only the pictures of your office that bring that choice to mind, but they sure don't hurt! If I do it I'll end up being pretty old for a new attorney, but I figure I can get a good 20-25 years in before I drop dead, so maybe...

that is a stunning number and it deserves to reside in a true museum of sorts.

How WOULD Kornia sound with walnut ply and TB+ pickups? We need to know!

I'll jump in - keep in mind I am a cheap bastard ;D

First:  1990?  Sorry, doesn't scream "vintage" to me. :bored:

Second:  Prototype?  FEH! Can you say "experiment"?  If it had been that nice they would have built a few of them.

Third:  Gold!  I would ( forgive me ) rather have black - gold just ain't my thing! ;D

Forth:  $8500.00!!  Please

The pluses:  Blocks and binding - maybe korina- have to hear it first.

This is built in the exact specs as the current model - the custom shop would probably build you a new one, with chrome no less, for a lot less. :)

I would not even modify her, if she were mine, and that's about as high a compliment as I can pay...

sigh...

If I had the money I would be trying to make a deal with the seller. And I HATE gold hardware!

I've never spent more than $400 for a bass... but I might make an exception here. Unfortunately, I have Custom Shop taste and an SX budget. *sob*
Uwe that must go home with you and reside next to the Explorer. I think the seller will move on the price - the economy is bad.

That would be a wonderful addition to "Ze kolleshön" and as to get funding, maybe THIS would be an option...

If you really wanted to be talked out of it, you would have asked your Ex, your kids or your parents
