Somewhere in Florida there is a Wal hanging on the wall of a hard rock cafe. The placard says it belonged to Paul McCartney.....I really dont think it belongs on that wall.....

That is actually a double neck Bich...not a Warlock.

I'd have to go with Tom Araya's Wave bass

Anthony Jackson's early 90's Presentation single cutaway that he used

Natural finish, brighter sounding than the current Presentation.
