Simmonds Posted March 11 Posted March 11 I inherited my Dad’s Magic Bass. I don’t know anything about it only that he played in London and Australia in the 50’s & 60’s. I did a search to find the valve and there is no reference that I can find. Any suggestions? 1 Quote
Burns-bass Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Well, it’s not a double bass but it is a bass and it looks like it’s in good condition. There were lots of quirky basses made during the 50s and 60s of which this looks like one. It’s not going to be hugely valuable, perhaps a few hundred pounds. You could email some vintage guitar dealers or, if you want a guaranteed no hassle sale, send it to a guitar auction like Gardiner Houlgate. Best of luck. Quote
Beedster Posted March 12 Posted March 12 I think I can see where Entwistle found inspiration for the Buzzard headstock 👍 Quote
