lowregisterhead Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) ON HOLD For sale is a lovely 70's Ovation Magnum 1, in excellent condition. I've wanted one of these for years, having been a fan of Howard Devoto and Magazine in my youth and the brilliant, gurgling basslines of Barry Adamson. I finally found this one not long ago, but quickly came to the realisation that I'm not really Barry Adamson, Jah Wobble, Kim Gordon or Ross Vallory for that matter! So slightly grudgingly, I've decided to part with it. All fully functional (including the string mute) and even the case is in great nick for a 45+ year old bass. Unlike some examples of this bass that can weigh several tons, this one comes in at a very reasonable 4.5kg and sits on the knee or a strap beautifully. £1500 + UK shipping. Sorry, but I'm not looking for any trades. Edited July 27, 2021 by lowregisterhead 20

nationofzeros Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 Hi ; I had the privelige of owning #1341 until last year, and I can confirm it is a fantastic instrument. Whether Barry Adamson used one or not on 'Secondhand Daylight' I dont know, but that front pickup sounds like nothing else. Almost tempted to buy it back ! 2
studiobubny Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 YES... My OV.MAG is heavy , but great sounding..
