This is an old band photo of Hellhammer. I thought up until now he was holding a Gibson Explorer bass but I don't see Gibson on the headstock. What do you think that is? Time frame of picture is 82 - 84.

Broke up and reformed as Celtic Frost, then broke up again. Got back together a few years ago and released Monotheist. Broke up again, now Triptykon has formed and its the new Celtic Frost. To be brief about it...
You sure about that?
ummmmmmmm.... well... um. i uh... um. i'm just going to go into hiding and stare creepily at your lightsab... i mean destroyer.
I'm sorry that I questioned your authority, jedi master james.
Definitely a Destroyer... here is mine
What kind of finish does that Destroyer have?

keep watching eBay... it took a year to find this one. I got it for about $325 shipped. My first real bass was a single split P version in red.Was aluminum tape / sheeting edged in black model paint. Now it's still waiting for time to finish. I had a lot of ideas and a couple refinish options fall through. I do intend to have it back in rotation real soon. It is in the process of become chrome painted with black binding. It already has Delano pickups and a Bee Pre wired up... I'm still thinking I might put a tremolo on it before it's done.
Those pictures really did it justice... it was hideous in person!

Very interesting. I bet the chrome tape was a bit ghastly up close, but in the pics, and probably from a distance it looks interesting. NOT the same old ,same old for sure.We expect some pics. of the refin. job of course.
