These basses were designed to be cheap,the bodies probably masonite and i think they were using old metal lipstick cases for the pickups,very collectable though,jimmy page used the guitar version alot.

Hmmm. He describes it as [i][b]Details: 15-Frets, Two-Octaves[/b][/i] which does very little for his credibility.

Description amended. Has the seller been reading this thread? Is he - [i]one of us[/i]? :ph34r:

Sweet, pretty and slightly pricey, IMHO, but quite rare...

Ah, right ... all this modern living's getting too confusing for me. Time for my meds...

But it's still a cute little bass. Time for a re-issue.
