Frank Bello - ESP Thunderbird bass

Before Frank was a Fender guy, he was an ESP guy.  This is a great and pretty rare bass in its own right.  Add in to it that it was one of Frank's, and that is really cool.  I purchased it directly from Frank, so there is no doubt in my mind, but I would love to see some photos of her with Frank back in the day!  One odd thing is that it is marked as #1174 on the case.  On the back of the guitar the number 1174 is etched in to the clear.  Also note the Phillips head screw driver stabbings on the front of the guitar!  You can't tell on the photo, but the guard is a mirror.
