If VG said $1000 for a bolt-on 80s BC Rich, I think they're dreaming. Said it before and I'll say it again, I distrust their price guide. They and their reporting dealers have a vested interest in pushing up prices.

Enough is enough, Scott, they really shoud take that bandsaw away from you.  :mrgreen:

But if that really your white TBird after, errrm, improvement with the new bandsaw, then upper fret access has certainly taken a leap forward ...

Keep it if it sounds good. It is a witness of its time and playing it nobody will mistake you for that worst of all things: "the "serious musician".   :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

And I agree, the Dimebag Deans (and even more than my Flying V, their Flying V/Explorer crossover Dimebag Razorback) certainly owe a nod or two to that design.

You need to be a member of Tokyo Blade or Hanoï Rocks to be allowed to play this bass on stage... :mrgreen:

It says LA California USA on the neck plate but I'm not so sure it's US. I am thinking of selling it but it's kinda growing on me. It would be just the thing for a 80's cover gig !

Yeah really, certainly when we consider what you look like when not in your "working attire"  ;D

The likeness of Fräulein Rommel and her brother (pictured above) is uncanny. That smile. Twins?

That was awesome ! I forgot all about Live Aid. I remember watching that performance and thinking they looked lathargic, now I watch that and they look very spry ! The bass also had custom cross inlays, a pickup by the bridge and a whole lot of switches. Mine has gone from mearly interesting to very cool ! If it's good enough for Geezer ;)
