Hiya,
What's the neck profile like? baseball bat? skinny minny?
It's a fairly substantial Precision bass neck, but certainly not a baseball bat! It doesn't feel as big as the current 50s Classics, or the Roger Waters model.

Beautiful colour, but I wish it didn't have that Jazz pickup.

Stunning. Hope my Precision sells soon...

I've always assumed this is the bass played on Looking On. An immense tone for an immense album.

Love Madness and was ‘mad’ on them when I was a kid. I’m pretty sure those high in the mix basslines were partly responsible for planting the love of bass in my head.
Me too! Entwistle was responsible for my love of flash and technique, but Bedders and John Deacon planted the seed, without me realising it at the time.

Deal fell through so the bass is still for sale.

My sister-in-law's ex-boyfriend's grandad played in a jazz band with Spike Milligan.
That's the best I can do...That's an interesting pair of shoes your great grandfather is wearing!

Apologies for being so late to the party on this one (about 47 years late...) but I've recently started learning Bowie's Hunky Dory album ahead of a tribute gig I'm playing at in January.
What a great bassist Trevor Bolder is! So much of what he plays isn't what I'd expect him to play, and I've had to learn some sections one note at a time thru headphones (Quicksand for a start!)
Excellent stuff tho. Way ahead of its time. But you all already know that. It's just me who is just waking up to Bowie's music.
Sorry to have taken so long....
Just got to learn the stuff now - luckily I'll be playing my short scale Japanese Mustang will hopefully give me a nod in the right direction tonewise.
Agreed. John, I'm Only Dancing was the first full song I learnt to play on bass - only because it happened to be transcribed in the bass magazine I had just bought. An important song for me, still love it.

Offers welcome...

It's astounding. And quite a feat to (not) pull off.
I expect they'll make a film about it.

That's amazing. I'd love to hear it in action.

Sold!

Price drop. "Cor, that's nice!" style comments welcome. 😉

In Built tuners would be cool...Epiphone did Guitars with tuners built into the pickup surround for a while (Les Paul ultra 2 I think...)
You were doing so well up to this...

I've always meant to check who actually played the bass on this song. It sounds like the Bass VI to me, which was usually handled by John or George, but melodically it sounds like Paul. Perhaps it was Ringo.
It's always been one of my favourite Beatles bass lines - those double stops really make it.

I don't really get it. They're just playing the same thing!
