Freddy Le Cragg Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Is it stock or modded? or a Jap Crap copy? Best grab I could get (from the audition scene) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswareham Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Probably "inherited" it from Glen Matlock, who was allegedly inspired to get a Rick because he was a big fan of Paul McCartney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 MB1. Looks like a MDP job on the front pickup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy Le Cragg Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 It seems to have two slanted pups, but says Rickenbacker on it. There is a brief scene of Steve playing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Looks like Pete Agnew's Rick from Nazareth. Roger Glover had one with the same mods but his was black. Don't get me started on the shirt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy Le Cragg Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yeah...the shirt is unfortunate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Couple of other pics: Don't think it's a copy, looks like it has full width inlays & wavy Grover tuners, which would make it '73 or earlier, and modded with 2x slanty J pups. "BurgundyGlo" finish? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 He certainly looked the part - though could get rid of the swastika, me not keen on those. Interesting how in the film Sid & Nancy they changed that to a hammer & sickle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I wonder if Pete inherited it from Roger, who produced a few of Nazareth's albums around 1974: [url="http://www.dawksound.com/bass.html"]http://www.dawksound.com/bass.html[/url] I've only ever seen pictures of Roger playing the Jetglo one too. Looking at the battle damage on the one Sid's playing, it matches the one modified by Dawk and as used by Pete. Roger also had the black one rebuilt: [url="http://www.rauenguitars.com/pages/roger_glover.html"]http://www.rauenguit...ger_glover.html[/url] Edited July 24, 2014 by Green Alsatian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
