Yep, for months, along with the Antigua Coronado guitar.

Kinda strange, when those came out I REALLY hated them, I kinda like them now, just feeling nostalgic I guess.

I love ugly/weird color schemes for some reason... My buddy has a custom built heavy relic Strat... it's nitro shell pink over seafoam green with a tortoise pickguard and beat to hell... it's unbelievably cool looking.

Bass Club Chicago has a righty master built P-Bass relic in "Ocean Turquoise" with a gold anodized pickguard and it's the ugliest/most beautiful thing I've ever seen. :lol:

I've said this before, but I either love or hate the Antigua finish depending on the shade. When they look silverish, I love them, but when they look snot green - ew!

Actually it's the 4th time we talk about this bass. Fivebass52, since your are the one who posted it previously and apparently you don't remember, I recommend a cure of phosphorus for you, as well as ending this deleterious life-style you entertain on this island of yours. :lol:

Usually I make a dumb comment such as "That's the bass Harrison Ford played (or should have played) in Indiana Jones" or "it's so kitch it's hip"...I think I am running out of dumb comments at this point but I still love this bass.

I think initially it was priced at 10K so if we wait a little bit it might come down to a price some of us are willing to shell out. :P

Frenchy, not sure what phosphorus will do to cure me, but I'm up for anything! Yeah, Sometimes "Polynesian Paralysis" gets the best of me! :D
