Just curious?
I picked a late 70s early 80s model up a year ago. It's a great guitar, but its not my thing so i'll probably be selling it soon. I was just wondering if anybody had heard of them, because before doing research, I hadn't.
Mine has a single humbucker in the bridge position. Very Metal!  http://www.robinguitars.com/

Andy Timmons of Danger Danger was in checking some bodies out and we got to hang with him. I always wanted a Medley bass but they're not making basses anymore. |

Tim Kelly of Slaughter used them as well as members of Dangerous Toys, Jimmy Vaughan, Tora Tora and John Butcher to name a few. |

Do you have any pictures? That would help me give you an idea. |

The "Ranger" or something like that.
Neat guitars.
