The bass is in good condition for a 35 year old bass was sold to me as a re-spray [s]but a collector friend of mine and a bass Luther both think it is original finish!!

Bass weighs 4.63kg (10.2lb) and has an instant Lewis Johnson slap sound!!

Dingus Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Could I be pedantic ( but hopefully helpful) and point out regarding the weight that 4.3 kg is 9.29 lb, rather than 10.29lb as stated in the ad. Maybe you could clarify which is actually the correct weight.

james Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 Hi just been speeking to a fellow BCer and he confirms it was refinished in early 80's by Gordon Smith Guitars .

binkybongo Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 - this was mine, I always regret moving it on. Top class pre Ernie Ball instrument. Rarer than a rare thing bump/

binkybongo Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 - spoke to my mate Phil today about the refin. Phil commissioned it and was beautifully done - as confirmed by our top luthier friend - by Mr. Gordon Whitham, of Gordon Smith guitars. Better than the original MM paint jobs of the era IMHO.
