Mykesbass Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Ovation. I think @Happy Jack owns one. Always had gas but not the money for one, and a six stringer (Breadwinner I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Looks like it’s an Ovation Magnum 1, made in the late 70’s. The Bass Gallery currently have one advertised on Reverb for £2620. I would imagine it weighs a ton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Not novation, Ovation. There's more of the six-string ones floating around (as @Mykesbass says, the Breadwinner), can't remember ever seeing a bass one before. The seller really doesn't deserve to get much for it, using the AnotveryI description rather than writing one him/herself, which could include words like "rare" and "almost unique", and perhaps L@@K in the auction title like every truly informed seller does. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 There are 4 versions of the Magnum bass, two different body shapes each with two different on-board electronics. There's also the semi-acoustic Typhoon Bass from the late 60s/early 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Seem to remember the guy in Dr Hook using one too - in fact all of the band used Ovations at one point so may have been some sort of endorsement deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Browning Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 (edited) I'm pretty sure Roger Glover used one in Rainbow. Yes. In the video for I Surrender. Edited October 23 by Steve Browning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
