mentalextra Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Selling his artwork and sculptures is bad enough but it must be really tough for the family to sell off Micks instruments; but we all have bills to pay I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 To be fair to the ebay sellers they are not making any particular claims that he played this bass on particular (or indeed any) recordings or gigs, simply that it was once owned by him. Must be lots of artists who have stuff knocking about at home that they are not naturally known for if they don't use them for recording or gigging.

sblueplanet Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 If it has provenance that he owned it that will be enough for many a collector. ( Time to dust down the fretless.....mwaaah!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Wunjo have an EUB-1 fretless in stock, at a shade under £600 on the ticket. Sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
