| Boyd Coddington, Michael Anthony and Brad Fanshaw at the Hard Rock Cafe, circa 1994 |
It was about 1994 when I went on a trip to Cabo with Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar. After some of the famous Cabo Wabo Margarita's, I opened my mouth about how Boyd and I should build a billet bass for Michael. Well he thought it was great idea and I needed to go home and sell Boyd on the idea.
If you are interested in the entire story, then you may want to be at the NHRA Museum on Friday January 28, 2011. The entire story will be told of how I talked Boyd into the idea, the design and the making of the billet bass. Also about Anthony's hot rod guitar and the custom guitars bonspeed designed for Ford and Barrett-Jackson.
