A rare opportunity to own one of the basses Mick Karn played on the Rain Tree Crow album in 1991.
An unbranded 5 string fretless bass, the instrument is in excellent condition and signed by Mick Karn on the back of the body.
The bass comes with a letter of authenticity from Mick’s widow, Kyoko Karn.

Judging by this thread, I'd say it was a Tony Revell bass.
