[/quote] Firstly,find a Mexican Luthier (The best in the world),give him a circular saw blade,which he will turn into a Luthier's knife wrapped in tape,with this knife he will hand cut the bevels on this bass,hand cut the neck heel,inlay the fretboard and mother of pearl R Give the Mexican a # 10 bailey plane and a spoke shave,and he will hand carve the body and neck Give him all the top quality wood you can find Now,travel through time and see how much THAT level of expertise will cost you today This bass is second only to something like a top of the range Sei bass I own a 2007 B.C.Rich Widow bass,it's retail value (NEW) today is $5,800,the U.K. distributers,Ro$etti,have a habit of removing the $ sign and replacing it with a £ sign,so £5,800 I own a 1985 B.C.Rich Bich 8 string bass,which I KNOW was completely made by hand,got it used,it owes me $3200,I have a 1979 one too,that owes me £400 This Eagle IS underated,you simply could not get that level of instrument today for £1000,NEW anyway

[quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='379138' date='Jan 13 2009, 03:18 PM']I was going to say, that Geezer used to use BC Rich basses. Never played one meself though.[/quote] Geezer still owns his B.C.Riches

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='377745' date='Jan 12 2009, 02:45 PM']Not Geezer Butler's one (possibly with a trem) is it?[/quote] Close It's red,but trans red over solid quilted Maple wings It has a trem It has NOTHING to do with Geezer Butler or anyone terribly famous It's currently not for sale,but that might change

Yeah,already seen this one,very nice bass,but I already have £6-700 to spend on my 1994 B.C.Rich Widow refurb and also might have to save up about £1000 for a rather special Ironbird This bass is well worth the money though,just not for me at the moment Best of luck with the sale

[quote name='BassManKev' post='371495' date='Jan 5 2009, 10:43 PM']i dealed with them at their depot. i was asked the contents of the package, and i replied bass in a hardcase, he then asked did i want insurance, and i said yeah, its worth £700, so he said itd be insured for £1000 for £xx (cant remember). Whether i read t&c or not, i dont think that is acceptable.[/quote] Perhaps you should check their T & C's and then write to their head office,asking for your money back as they are guilty of false selling practices in regards to the insurance and the training of their desk jockies

I paid just over that for a Snakeskin USA Gunslinger bass with original hardacase I could have bought this Ironbird before Shockwave did,but I didn't like the alteration that had been done to the bass,too expensive for me just for a neck and case Best of luck with the sale though

[quote name='Bassman101' post='341761' date='Dec 1 2008, 11:46 AM']Ya, i still have the case, its just that after a few performances it was too bad to carry round, its been painted black with like a an of paint, has all splodges of paint and crap, but the inside is sound,, Almost perfect, if someone wants to re leather it, they can, if your buying the bass you can take the hard case too, its just a bit bad at the moment. Ya, i agree to that, looks shouldnt matter, but i really want a dean edge at the moment, my dad will buy me one, but i dont think i can justify having two basses when i dont even have a job lol. Offer open.[/quote] Christmas is a bad time to be selling stuff Bro,If I had the cash I would considder your bass,if only to get the neck and case for my Ironbird And I justify having 11 basses with no job by simply saying,"Their All Mine",that and the fact I look after 3 kids helps
