Cosmo Valdemar Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Here's an interesting curio, a BC Rich Ironbird bass of indetermined age and vintage. Despite being wooden it's unbelievable METAL, in fact it's so METAL it comes ready-customized with Metallica sticker and classic 'screw-in-place-of-strap-holder' detail. Please don't judge me - I rescued it from Cash Converters. I saw it hanging sadly in the window, being cruelly mocked by emos, and just couldn't walk by. As usual on a body like this, a couple of the more extreme points have small knocks at the end. The electronics work but one of the pots is loose and rotates ad infinitum. Neck is in great condition however. In a nutshell, a bit of a neglected Beast that could shine again with a little love. Just £60 could help bring this 'bird back to recovery. Collection only I'm afraid.

Mr. Foxen Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Could you box it up with the neck off for a courier to collect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redd Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) This makes me want to dig my old slayer teeshirts out and stand pretending I still have hair...

Gust0o Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Looks like a Gold edition, like my old one. I shipped that one with the neck off, so can confirm it's a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
