There is also one of JMJ's 20/20's up for auction. I don't think people will be quite as interested in that one  ;D  That Bird looks nice.

That looks like a big headstock!!!! Orville Pickups...Bad-ass!!!! I would get some Gotoh P bass vintage tuners on it and put a chrome 3 point on it. Should kick some ass!

Wow, that is killer! I don't mind the Badass one bit. I have absolutely no use for such a thing, but I'm watching it anyway.  8)
