Got one pretty much that color already, but that's a cool bass I like pearloid PG alot.

This was discussed here a while ago, maybe even last year. It was up with the matching Firebird, and we discussed the Custom Shop designation but I can't remember the explanation.

Up my alley ;)

Might have to chat with Scott about a new PG for mine, that pearloid is cool........Maybe black as well.
What do you guys think?

I still need a better pic of this bass, it's rather washed out here.

Mark, that one would look great blacked out! I know you're a dyed in the wool chromie, but the dark side can have it's rewards, too!

Maybe the PG - Never the hardware, that bass has Orville pups, they rule!

It really has an old school vibe to it because of the color.

Here's the thread from last year: http://bassoutpost.com/index.php?topic=4488.0

Note the fourth post, from Uwe: "Why does the Good Lord test me like this knowing that I do not collect for fins?! It's just not right ..." It's not too late, Uwe!

And on page 3, Jon (mc2ny): "That guy has been tryng to sell that TBird for the last year or longer..." So this has probably been for sale off and on for at least two years.
