Dave Markee and his vintage Fender Jazz

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

Browsing around the web I happened across this vintage Fender Jazz owned by Dave Markee which is up for sale at [url="http://vintageandrareguitars.com/product/dave-markees-fender-jazz-bass/"]Vintage & Rare[/url]. It doesn't have a price on it, but that's besides the point.

Posted on the sale page are four videos, presumably shot at V&R, of Dave talking about the history of his bass.

There's some comedy gold in there, most of it unintentional.

Example: Criticising Joan Armatrading's bass player for not playing one of his songs correctly, then cocking it up himself when he tries to play it.

I could go on, but it's easier if you just watch them.

P.S. It's a re-fin with changed pick-up's and electronics anyway.

..and the bit about Jaco's 'Bass of gloom' - fascinating, sad, funny, and enjoyable.
