Beyond amazingly rare, one of a kind.

Hey Andrew~ Does it bother you as much as it does me that this beauty is right here ready for some lucky bastid to SWOOP & it's not gonna be ME??!!??!!!!

Yes, it's tearing me up that you won't be the one to own this.

I think I'd put myself on the list of heartbreak over this before you though Terry.

It's a cool bass, but the rarity and cost would put me off playing it, and I need basses I can play. It'll be a great investment for someone though.

You can have Dolan make you one for $2,000- $2,500

Found this thread after coming across the aforementionmed bass on gbase. No pics so for the sake of completeness here it is.

I wonder how much it went for?

+1 for Dolan. All I can proudly say is that the lefty NR now sports a Dasson Badbird

Check out Badbird on facebook

Would make a nice righty except for the knobs.

Lower cutaway could be expanded by one of our resident craftsmen here, small thing really. If he saw(ed) it that way too that is.

Oh my GOSH!!!! Those are Tom Petersson's, right??? I painted and restored both the white one and the kerry green one!!! The white one was kick ass but the kerry green one...that had the tone!!!

kebo · April 07, 2011, 10:56:58 AM

I know that bass well. If im not mistaken, that one was prior from the Petersson vault.. - See my column in Premier Guitar in an issue or 2. I interviewed Tom and this bass was discussed..

Bionic-Joe · April 07, 2011, 07:29:25 PM

Kev, I think you told me how Tom had strung it righty and had an amazing tone!!! The Kerry Green one was thee first bass I ever fully restored my self!!! (17 coats of PPG Lacquer!!! Sheesh!!) That bass had an incredible tone. Dave Schrader drove up from St. Louis and begged me for it! Then a short while later, he traded it to you, who in turn traded it to Tom P. Small world. I also beleive that white one in the pic was mine as well, as it was one of the best restorations I ever did.
