A previous owner claims this bass was once owned by Jet Harris of The Shadows (hence the transfer on the headstock) however, I have no way of verifying this. It may well just have been a covers band or a big fan of The Shadows that put it on. However, it was owned by Phil Spalding, best known as a session player who performed with Mike Oldfield, Mick Jagger, Seal, OMD, Robbie Williams, Elton John, Heaven 17, Randy Crawford and others. It was bought from him by a fellow pro bass player who has written and signed a letter of provenance.
This bass sounds fantastic with a huge tone and plenty of punch. It has plenty of mojo and plays very well with a straight neck. Serial number:663139. Weight: 11lbs 5oz / 5.13 kg. The neck date is difficult to read. The pots all date to mid-75. Fully set up. Previously had been with Andy Baxter and fully checked by his guitar tec etc.
An interesting, beautiful instrument which is lovely to play.
