Any bass the amazing Jah Wobble used!

Antipodean oddness from the early 60s - seems there was only a couple of hundred or so ever made. I actually encountered one in the flesh about 14 years ago, being played by an old-ish (60+) Aussie guy whose band was practicing in an Edinburgh church hall. Got chatting & he told me a bit about it, stupidly I never asked for a go!

Always had vintage GAS for one but had no idea they were quite so rare. Doubt I'll ever see another, one day I might have a shot at building a replica though. Lovely looking thing, imo.
