I wish I'd known your brother! I'm always looking for a good bargain on a B.C. Rich and Musician's Friend always had a ton of them on the sales floor. All the sharp points and angles make them highly susceptible to damage during shipping. I still need to repair the damage on my bass but it's not as big a priorty as practicing the thing is :)

Also, I spent way too much of my day off today trying to find a cd by Emilie Autumn. Amazon here I come.
