He had a ton of it. Bill's a super nice guy who sold me a Bean humbucker cheaply a long time ago because mine was missing one of the originals.

I got to play it unplugged for a bit and it felt fuggin' great!Yeah, Ron from Bongripper had this bass built for him, but it was never used in Bongripper (that's a different 34.5 DC-style scale bass). The body and neck are similarly sized to a P-bass, but the neck meets the body in a different spot, so the bridge is moved up to compensate and still provide a 34 scale length.It's a rad bass and I'm stoked it's Tony's now!

That's the Bongripper bass, yea?

I wish I was that popular.
