I stripped my previously owned BIX2 becuase it arrived scratched from the original owner.
I was going to re-paint it but instead polished up the brass.
It's a real looker now.
I don't know why they don't just release a polished brass version.
Maybe becuase of the solder joints but you hardly notice them at all over the "Bling Bling" the brass brings.
You could call it the Brass ICE Xtreme II
