I haven't seen one of these for years!! I began to think I had imagined them.
I believe Geddy Lee used to play a white one during the 70's.

Gaye Advert played one for a bit. :wub:

That's stupid money for one. Nearly a grand over priced if you ask me.

yeah, well overpriced

i nearly brought one for £350 in the late 90's and agree that £600 would now be ok for one in really good condition

Always had a bit of a soft spot for these, mostly because it's the "donor" body design for the very erotic (IMO) JapCrap Riverhead Unicorn:



I don't think Geddy ever played a Flyte - are you thinking of his "teardrop" bass - which was a brutalised & butchered 60s P?
