I more than kinda want this...

Once in a while I take a look at Olivia's Vintage just to check if there's something nice to drool on, and I found this:

The one I saw in Japan was a standard bolt-on Epi, but it was this very same color.

Nice stuff there! On page 6, check out that metallic blue Grabber!

Nice looking Grabber.......................... I'm not so sure that is the original finish. There are no screw holes for the bridge cover, refin imho. http://www.oliviasvintageguitars.com/bass/guitars/430/

I suspect the Thunderbird will go for big bucks in the last few minutes...still keeping an eye on it though. Anyone have an idea on what it is really worth?

It looks nice, 1K methinks. Same league as an Elitist or Orville, very nice basses - just buy it!

[Denis]

It's not the BUYING that's the problem! It's the other folks out there who want it! We'll see but if it gets near $1000 I'm out.

[Dave W]

I will be surprised if it gets up that high. $700-800 would be more like it. Bid your best offer and don't get carried away.

372 with 22 minutes left!  Damn - I'm tempted.

I'm still working it...

You bidding Dennis?  I'm tempted but I think it'll go through the roof and I don't want to c*#k block you.

[Denis]

I'm definitely gonna try for it!

[Bionic-Joe]

Damn!!! I got outbid!!! All I wanted were the 2 pickups and rings!!!!!!

[Dave W]

Denis? You get it?

[Lightyear]

Yeah, Dennis are you the sniper!?  I'm glad it ran up past what I could have bid - someone saved me the agony of breaking the news to my wife

[Denis]

And the winner is.......DENIS! And there was great rejoicing!
