It will be interesting to see what this ends up selling for.

This is SO cool. I would love to have this but can't swing that cost at this time.

What happened to the other 7 preamp & phase & tone switches + selectors?

Hey guys- yes it is mine- and yes it is soooo cool! I've had it for several years, if memory serves I picked it up at a southern cal GC maybe pre 2000 or earlier, their story being that it had been a special custom build for some endorsement, which probably makes sense though I've never been able (or put forth all the required effort) to backtrack the history. Of course at that time folks weren't quite as excited about "pointy" BC Riches but the cool thing was that it was such a great player too in addition to the one-of-a-kind badass factor. I LOVE the "anti- Rich" straightforward simplicity of it- no switching diagrams to figure out, just plug in and rock your SVT! 8-)

Never thought I would part with it but I'm going to be relocating in the next year or so and the harsh reality is that I won't be able to take a couple hundred basses along, so I have to start letting go. With the renewed interest In BC Rich I wanted to make this one available to a BC Rich fan who will really appreciate it.

A better way of thinking, would be that you priced it to perfection!
