Classic Series bass too.

Bill, tgo

I think you might be referring to his Alfurbic. ;-)

I do want to say surprisingly the starting bids and estimated prices appear realistic.

Post by: edwardofhuncote on November 10, 2023, 06:38:15 AM: I do recall the fur-lined guitar and bass Dusty and Billy sported during the Afterburner (or was it Eliminator?) Tour. No idea what they were.
