Older Gibson case in a BC Rich auction

[Nocturnal]

I saw this posting and thought I'd share it here. Looks like an old Thunderbird case included in the auction. I don't know what these cases usually go for, but someone may be able to flip the bass to offset some of the costs towards the case? I thought about going for it and selling the case to someone here that might need it and and keeping the bass as a beater/project but not sure if anyone else would want the case?

Almost looks like an old RD case

That's a deal on a number of levels.

Looks like the bass has an Alembic Activator P setup too (or "Olympic" pickup, as he calls it   ).  $825 retail on one of those, according to Alembic's site.

It's an exact copy of my 70s T-bird case. The rounded edge on the right fits the rounded back of the T-bird body.

It would be fun if whoever won it told the guy to send the pups and the case and keep the bass.

Getting to the point where we almost need a shortcut button to insert the vulture/hyena pics!

This auction just ended - $362 for a similar Alembic P setup:

Someone was probably after the pickups in that B C Rich auction I posted. That went for $305. Way more than anyone would normally pay for that bass.

I don't know about that, it's not one of the fancy neck-thru series but it is a US-made BC Rich. Someone may have actually wanted the bass.
