Did he have a fur-lined Alembic?

Bill, tgo

The pictures of the first bass suggest that a lot of the hardware has suffered significant corrosion.  A potential buyer should perhaps be concerned about the electronics.

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

Those match the two from Mica's recollections when Dusty passed. Agree with Dave, that corrosion on the Exploiter Series is severe. Suggests a wet environment to me.

The case and its contents show a lot of water damage as well. It is the type that makes me think it was wet for a long time.

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

I’ll take it for $1250!

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.

[keith_h]

They were using furry Dean instruments.

Here ya go.  It might need a trip to the dog groomer.

I think a sheep shearer might be more appropriate.
