huh? i first started visiting davis in the early part of this millenium/century and they had njs (warlock, ironbird etc) selling for $620 and iirc, even came with countoured gigbags for such shapes. that time the bronze or platinum series were $200/$300+. nowadays i see their platinum pro is about $900? bronze $600?
oh yah, you're right. i sold it off to my friend in poly so i must've got it around 1996 then. yeah, around the time Roots came out. shit that's a long time ago!
here's a budget version of the one Slash used to play, which iirc was the Mockingbird SL. this is the ST and has original FR trem, coil tap switches, reverse phase switch and Varitone knob! for US$700, that's a deal!
