Hi Res pic, sold for $33,000 USD in '88.  Will be interesting to see what the market is today.

They are certainly stylish, but would one suit your style...

The flame bass is nasty! Love the Alembic spider though. I believe that one sold for around $82,000 back then.

I still have failed to find the video - should be easy - matching flame bass and suit...

Funny & kinda sad that Dorothy's ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz went for $666,000.00 (Yes, 666!!!) at auction in Y2k but Entwistle's basses won't sell for near as much.

your talking apples and oranges here.

Hate to say it, Terr, but mention Judy Garland to most and they will know her name, but say JAE, and they will all say WHO...?

Kinda ironic, don't you think...
