BC Rich pointy bass alert

[Dave W]

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.

I agree Dave that does seem insane !

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

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".   

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...

[Barklessdog]

I always had my eye on one of these

[godofthunder]

 And it has a Kahler ! Man the Ironbird would be bitch'n with a Kahler !

Match Made in Heaven.

I need to try one of those Dimarzio super hot humbuckers - D Activator X's

Priced half off the vintage suggested price (which isn't a bit realistic IMO)!!

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"

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

[Barklessdog]

The bass looks amazing nakey, Mark follows suit

Here's Geezer Butler using an Ironbird bass complete with Kahler and the works.

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
